Which type of bed is advisable for bed ridden patients?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and I am sorry to hear about your troubles. It can be a tough thing to manage.

Regarding the query about your bed, there are many types and brands available, all touting their own benefits. Also, I cannot recommend you anything specific as I have not seen your medical records. Still, I can suggest you a couple of things,

1) Use an Air mattress on whichever bed you have so that it distributes your weight properly and prevents pressure sores.

2) The best bed for you would be one that has an option of lifting the foot end of the bed to 30 degrees and the head end (backrest elevation) of the bed to 45%. Such types are generally known as "Fowler beds"

3) If you can afford it, there are some electric Fowler beds that give you a remote control to make it go up or down in height as well. I think you will find this feature very useful.

So talk to and confirm with your physical therapist which one is easily available and serviceable in your locality.

I hope that helps.

Thank you.
