What to Look for in an Electric Adjustable Bed?
When shopping for electric beds, particularly for home care or personal comfort, there are several important features and factors to consider to ensure you choose the best option for your needs.
Here’s a comprehensive guide on what to look for in electric beds:
1. Adjustability
Electric beds should offer a range of adjustability options. Look for beds that allow for changes in the head, foot, and height positions.
This feature is crucial as it helps users to easily get into and out of bed, and can also significantly aid in daily activities like reading, eating, or watching TV comfortably from bed.
2. Hand Control Functionality
The ease of use through a hand control is essential for anyone with mobility issues. Check that the hand control is user-friendly and has clear labels for all functions.
3. Build Quality and Stability
The bed’s construction should be robust enough to handle regular use and movement adjustments.
A well-built electric bed will not only last longer but also provide a stable and secure platform, which is particularly important for those with limited mobility or balance issues.
4. Safety Features
Safety features such as side rails can prevent falls and provide added security when getting in and out of bed.
Some beds also come with safety cut-offs to prevent accidental damage to the motor or the user in case of a malfunction.
5. Mattress Compatibility
Ensure that the electric bed is compatible with the type of mattress you plan to use. In particular side rail height above mattress is a legal requirement to be adhered to.
6. Weight Capacity
Check the weight capacity of the bed to ensure it can support the weight of the user along with the mattress. This is crucial for safety and the longevity of the bed’s motor and frame.
7. Size Options
Electric beds come in various sizes, from single to king-sized. Consider the amount of space available in your room and your specific care needs when choosing the size. Some beds offer dual adjustability for couples, which allows each side to be adjusted independently.
8. Extra Features
Look for additional features that can enhance comfort or meet specific health needs, such as built-in massage systems, heating pads, or the capability to tilt the bed to various positions to assist with medical conditions like acid reflux.
