How SonderCare Hospital Beds Support Better Sleep And Mobility
For individuals with chronic health conditions, recovering from injury or surgery, and who have mobility issues, getting a good night’s sleep and maintaining mobility is usually a challenge. Standard beds often fail to provide the necessary support, safety features, and adjustability required for these individuals, resulting in a restless night’s sleep, potential injury, and limited mobility.
Specialized hospital beds, like those from SonderCare, are designed to improve comfort and mobility and offer a wide range of advanced features and accessories to meet individual and caregiver needs. By ensuring that individuals get a comfortable night’s sleep, SonderCare Hospital Beds ensure comfort and enable mobility while reducing the risk of injury and offering caregivers and loved ones peace of mind.
How SonderCare Hospital Beds Improve Sleep And Mobility
A good night’s sleep is essential for healing from injury or surgery, mental clarity, and emotional well-being. A standard bed does not promote rest and mobility for individuals who require prolonged bed rest, and many are opting for hospital beds for the following reasons.
Improved Sleep Posture
Hospital beds are adjustable, allowing the user to find the most comfortable position for sleeping. By reducing pressure on sensitive or bony areas, pain and discomfort are minimized, allowing for a more comfortable posture and better sleep.
SonderCare Hospital Beds can be adjusted in the following ways:
- Various backrest positions
- Knee positions
- Chair position
- Zero gravity
- Trendelenburg and reverse
- High/low (the entire bed)
Improved Circulation
Individuals with poor blood flow often need to elevate their legs to reduce swelling and improve circulation. An adjustable bed that can elevate the legs, reduces the risk of poor circulation complications like varicose veins and deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
Reduced Risk Of Bedsores
Pressure ulcers are caused by lying in the same position for too long. Adjustable bed frames and advanced mattresses help distribute weight evenly, reducing pressure points and the chance of skin breakdown.
Improved Respiration
People with respiratory conditions like asthma and other lung diseases often cannot sleep horizontally. Hospital beds allow the individual to lift the head of the bed to a position that promotes easy respiration.
Mobility Assistance
Hospital beds have adjustable heights and side rails that provide additional mobility support. These features allow individuals with decreased mobility to adjust their position independently or receive caregiver assistance without straining themselves or injuring the caregiver.
Easier Transfer
The low bed height makes transferring from bed to wheelchair or walker easier. This is especially beneficial for individuals with limited mobility who rely on assistive mobility devices.
Five Groups Of People Who Would Benefit From A Hospital Bed At Home
Hospital beds are not only useful when in hospital. Having a hospital bed at home has many advantages for a variety of individuals. Key groups of people whose sleep and mobility would benefit from a hospital bed include:
- Individuals with mobility challenges
- People recovering from surgery
- People with chronic illnesses
- People with neurological conditions
- Caregivers
Individuals With Mobility Challenges
Conditions like arthritis, osteoporosis, and general muscle weakness often restrict an individual’s mobility. A hospital bed with adjustable height options reduces the risk of falls by allowing the individual to get in and out of bed safely.
The adjustable bed settings also help to improve overall comfort and reduce pain, enabling the individual to move more easily.
People Recovering From Surgery
People recovering from major surgery often require extended periods of bed rest and specific body positioning. Being able to elevate certain areas helps to reduce swelling, improve circulation, and promote healing.
People who find hospital bed features very helpful include people recovering from orthopedic, abdominal, and thoracic surgery, as well as patients recovering from cardiovascular interventions.
People With Chronic Illnesses
People suffering from chronic medical conditions may need a hospital bed for both comfort and symptom management. A hospital bed allows individuals with respiratory illnesses, heart failure, and neurodegenerative disorders to position the bed to improve breathing, improve circulation, and reduce the risk of pressure sores.
People With Neurological Conditions
The adjustable height and position options empower people with neurological conditions like multiple sclerosis or spinal cord injuries to customize positioning and improve both safety and ease of movement.
Caregivers
Assisting individuals with mobility issues can be physically demanding on caregivers and loved ones. Hospital beds simplify the task by empowering individuals with mobility challenges to be more mobile.
Features like side rails and a motorized hand control enhance patient safety and reduce caregiver strain and injury.
