What exactly is a care bed?

Especially for a person in need of care, healthy and restful sleep is very valuable. And this soothing rest is best achieved in a cozy and at the same time comfortable place. Exactly this place can a care bed offer, because unlike a normal bed, special care beds bring comfort and safety (back) into everyday life through their special construction. They feature, among other things, a multi-adjustable lying surface, which in most cases can be adjusted electrically and steplessly via a hand switch.

Thanks to the adjustable lying surfaces, an adequate positioning is possible even during longer lying times, which can be readjusted repeatedly. This not only relieves the spine but also prevents painful pressure points. Furthermore, the bed is designed to assist when getting up. The entry height of the bed is correspondingly low, and it can even be equipped with various accessories, such as grab handles, to support independence and mobility when getting up and lying down. But not only for the patient, such a special bed also brings advantages for the caregiver, as the flexible design significantly facilitates tasks like daily body care and food intake.

What distinguishes a care bed from a senior bed?

While care beds are designed with a range of special features and functions, a senior bed is a simpler model that serves as a comfortable everyday bed. As a rule, a senior bed has a low entry height and additionally a fourfold adjustable lying surface. All other features of a care bed are omitted.

Functions and equipment: What should be considered when buying a care bed?

Height-adjustable lying surface: The individual setting and adjustment of the height of the lying surface to the body size of the person in need of care significantly facilitates getting into and, of course, getting out of the bed. The stepless height adjustment also means that the caregiver can set the lying surface to make care easier.

Adjustable lying surface: Raising the upper body, elevating legs or pelvis – various adjustable positions of the lying surface not only allow different (orthopedic) positions but also comfortable sitting in the care bed for eating or reading. Important for these adjustment options is a flexible care bed mattress whose shape adapts to the respective positioning.

Electric adjustment: Many care beds are electrically adjustable. Equipped with reliable, powerful motors, the lying surface can be individually adjusted at the push of a button using a hand switch. Our tip: Also pay attention to the noise level of the motor here.

High load capacity: Good stability is essential. The material and construction of a care bed are therefore designed for high mechanical load capacity, so that the construction not only withstands more weight but also stresses caused by movements are no problem.

What should be considered when buying a care bed?

A care bed offers a range of comfortable and helpful extras compared to a normal bed to meet the different needs and requirements. We have compiled the most important functions, designs, and handling features to watch for when purchasing a care bed: Height-adjustable lying surface: An individual setting and adjustment of the height of the lying surface to the body size of the person in need of care significantly facilitates getting into and, of course, getting out of the bed. But for the caregiver, the stepless, adjustable height also means that they can set the lying surface so that the patient can get out of bed more easily.

What are care mattresses?

A good care mattress is especially necessary when you have to spend most of the day in bed due to illness, disability, or age. These mattresses suitable for care and hospital beds have many more functions than ordinary mattresses, which is why they are not available everywhere. At Gorilla Gesund, you have a wide selection of special mattresses that are especially tailored to conditions such as pressure ulcers, incontinence, or dementia. In addition, such functional mattresses are generally easier to care for and usually weigh less than standard mattresses. This especially facilitates handling for all caregivers who need to clean and turn the mattresses. Choosing the right care bed mattress is therefore at least as important as the bed itself.

The importance of mattresses for care beds

While a healthy person spends about eight hours on average in bed, patients in need of care often have to stay in bed much longer. Severe illnesses or even comatose states often mean that the patient must lie in bed 24 hours a day. For this reason, it is important that care mattresses are not only comfortable but also functional. Because a comfortable lying position and a healthy posture contribute not only to restful sleep but ideally also to recovery. If the patient or person in need of care lies uncomfortably for a long time, sleeps poorly or only a little, further physical or health problems may result. To counteract this, medical mattresses are indispensable in care.

What to consider before buying a care bed mattress

Before selecting a special mattress based on its functional properties, you should pay attention to the body weight the mattress is designed for. After all, as with standard mattresses, the firmness level is crucial for comfort. Care bed mattresses also come in different firmness levels. Besides the patient's weight, the type of illness also determines how soft or firm the mattress should be. For example, pain patients generally require a softer mattress. Of course, the patient's personal preference should also be considered. After all, everyone prefers a different firmness level.

In addition, you should find out before purchasing whether you need a special care bed or if the care mattress also fits in regular bedroom beds. It is important not only to measure the width and length of the bed frame but also to consider whether the height of the bed is suitable for the person in need of care. Because mattresses specifically designed for care beds are usually not as thick as conventional mattresses, a standard bed equipped with a care mattress can be too low. A lying surface that is too low often makes getting in and out difficult.

You should also measure the existing slatted frame and, if necessary, buy a new one. Some slatted frames are not suitable for special mattresses because the distance between the individual slats is too large. In this case, adjustable slatted frames are especially recommended, as they facilitate both care and adjustment of the lying position. An adjustable lying surface also allows the patient to take a sitting position in bed, which, for example, makes eating easier for them.

Which mattress is the right one?

In addition to high comfort, functional properties are enormously important when choosing the right functional mattress. Regardless of the patient's condition, all care bed mattresses and their covers should be particularly easy to care for. Only in this way can it be ensured that they are always in a hygienically clean condition. In addition to the standard care mattress, which is mainly suitable for people who do not require special treatment due to illness, certain functions must be considered depending on physical limitations.

If the mattress is to make a disease more bearable in everyday life, it should have particularly comfortable properties. For rheumatism, osteoarthritis, or back problems, mattresses that sufficiently support you in your lying position and relieve intervertebral discs, joints, and spine are suitable. For dementia diseases, there are also special mattresses tailored to such a disease pattern.

What are anti-decubitus mattresses?

If the person in need of care is forced to spend a lot of time in a hospital bed and cannot turn independently due to physical limitations, "Dekubitus", also known as pressure ulcers, can be a serious problem. Pressure or friction damages the skin and underlying tissue. Dekubitus begins with redness of the skin, expands into an open, often infected wound, and in the worst case ends with the death of skin cells. To prevent or counteract painful pressure ulcers, a special anti-decubitus mattress is required. These anti-decubitus mattresses preferably have requirements for optimal pressure distribution as well as ventilation and are therefore suitable for the prevention and therapy of decubitus. Such mattresses are especially recommended for patients who have a high risk of decubitus, have already been diagnosed with decubitus, or need follow-up treatment.
