Our hospital bed repair service team provides useful tips on how to make a hospital bed more comfortable in this blog. The first step is to ensure that your patient gets enough room, or the bed size is suitable for your patient. A smaller bed will not give space to move, turn and lie on their sides. This will make them prone to injuries. Almost all of the hospital beds are adjustable. They come in various widths and lengths. This enables the staff to fit patients with any height and size in the beds. If you have noticed that your adjustable hospital bed having trouble expanding, you should call Emeritus’s hospital bed repair service to look into it. 

Next important point to have a well maintained hospital bed is to use a right mattress for your patients. Not only an adjustable bed frame, but a comfortable mattress will help improve the mobility of your patient. Regular mattresses lack the comfort and distribution of pressure that are needed for a patient who is bedridden. 

Recently, all the adjustable beds are equipped with table attachments. If your hospital bed doesn’t have the facility, you should call our hospital bed service team to inquire for an inspection and add the accessory. It comes with convenient handles and adjustable heights for the patient or the caretaker to adjust it according to them. Adding an over the bed table increases their bed comfort.

Adjustable handle functions that help bed repositioning. Added side rails that help to avoid falling while the patient is sleeping or the patient is a young adult.
