World Sleep Day – Our Beds – For Better Sleep
When we heard about World Sleep Day, we thought it was a good excuse for a few extra hours under the duvet. But serious research has shown that sleep affects both our physical and mental wellbeing. Experts have also found that since the pandemic began, 63% of people said their sleep was worse than before March 2020.
Sleep is vital for good health. Seven to nine hours a night is recommended, and when you get enough, you usually wake feeling refreshed and ready for the day. Lack of sleep can affect concentration, weight, blood pressure, heart health and diabetes. It can also make it harder to manage emotions, think positively and cope with anxiety or depression.
At Mobility Hire, we know that the right bed can be the key to a good nights’ sleep. With World Sleep Day 2021 just around the corner, we thought now was a good time to let you know about each of our beds and how they can help both you and your loved ones get the best night’s sleep. Getting the right amount of sleep is extremely important for both our physical and mental health.
Studies show that a lack of sleep can affect our concentration, emotional responses and positive thinking. Physically, poor sleep can lead to issues around diabetes, heart disease and blood pressure. Meanwhile, World Sleep Day aims to raise awareness of the importance of sleep “for achieving an optimal quality of life and improve global health.” Sounds good to us!
We want to showcase our beds so you can see their functions and how they can help you get a better night’s sleep.
Homecare Beds
Homecare beds provide you with all the benefits of hospital beds whilst being able to stay in your own home. Features include separate back, leg and knee lift functions, so you can position yourself easily and stay comfortable.
These beds have been developed to meet care requirements of both users, nurses and carers in a range of environments. These beds are height adjustable, allowing an attendant to nurse without straining. Easy-clean side rails and removable head and foot boards make these beds easily accessible for both user and carer.
Floor Beds
Floor beds are an ideal solution for those who are at risk of falling out of bed and injuring themselves. Our floor beds have an ultra-low platform height of 7cm, substantially reducing the risk of injuries from falls. These soft, secure floor beds also raise to a nursing height of 80cm, making it much easier for cares and nursing staff to attend to a patient.
These beds can also be fitted with a 2-in-1 mesh bumper and side rails for even more support. These are ideal beds for ensuring the safe, peaceful sleep of a loved one. They also come with electrically operated knee break, auto-regression and anti/Trendelenburg features. This means the user can position themselves in the bed with ease, safety and comfort at all times.
Rota-Pro Rotating Stand Assist Chair Bed
Our rotating chair bed is an electrically operated profiling bed designed to help you when getting in and out of bed. The rotating sit-to-stand function helps the user to stand when getting out of bed. It’s perfect for those who can bear some weight but struggle to move from a lying to sitting to standing position. Furthermore, this amazing rotating function allows you to transfer from either side of the bed.
The rota-pro stand assist chair beds offer a comfortable and dignified alternative to hoists or care assistance and can be adjusted from 40cm to 83cm.
Most importantly, they take the hassle out of going to bed and getting up again! The user also has the option to use an electrical knee break function and adjustable backrest to make sure they find optimum comfort before they sleep.
Bariatric Beds
Bariatric beds are electrically operated profiling beds which are suitable for larger or heavier users. With weight capacities up to 50 stone and increased widths, these beds are perfect for use in private homes, in hospital or in residential homes. As a result, these larger beds also offer the user adjustable backrests along with leg and knee lifts, so you’ll always be in the most comfortable position.
Developed to meet the requirements of carers as well, these beds are height adjustable so that carers and nurses are able to work at a safe height without straining, reducing the risk of injuries. These beds ensure a good night’s sleep for the user as well as their safety and comfort. These attractive yet robust beds also come with side rails which stop the user rolling out of bed and significantly reduce the risk of injuries. 
We also stock a Floor bed plus, a bariatric version of the floor bed. With a width of 105cm and a weight capacity of 35 stone, it’s suitable for larger or heavier users whilst only having a 7.1cm height. This platform height reduces the risk of the user injuring themselves if they roll out of bed. It also rises to a full nursing height of 65cm. Therefore, a nurse can attend at a safe working height without having to strain. Just as with all of our other beds in stock, this floor bed is suitable for use in a wide range of settings, from hospitals to private homes and residential care homes.
Paediatric Beds
Paediatric profiling beds are beds suitable for children – ensuring they get a great night’s sleep. 200cm in length and 93cm in width makes these beds just right for a child. Bright colouring makes them more appealing to children and less like a hospital bed. Perfect for a great night’s sleep.
Electronic functions include back rest and knee break – helping the child find the best position for their needs. These paediatric profiling beds also comes with secure, adjustable side rails, ensuring the child’s safety. These rails can be released as and when required.
All of our beds are available for long or short-term hire. So, whether you require a safe, adjustable bed for a few weeks or a few months, we’re sure to have what you need. We all need a good night’s sleep, and these beds will help you have just that. Have a look at these beds for world sleep day and let us know what you think!
