What is a care bed, actually?

Especially for a person in need of care, healthy and restorative sleep is very valuable. And this soothing rest is best achieved in a cozy and comfortable place. Exactly this space can be provided by a care bed, as 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 that can usually be adjusted electrically and continuously via a hand switch.

The adjustable lying surfaces allow for adequate positioning 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 provide support when getting up. The entry height of the bed is correspondingly low, and it can even be equipped with various additional features, such as grab bars, to support independence and mobility when getting up and lying down. But not only for the patient, but also for the caregiver, such a special bed offers advantages, as the flexible design significantly facilitates tasks such as daily personal care and food intake.

What distinguishes a nursing bed from a senior bed?

While nursing 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. However, a senior bed typically has a low entry height and additionally features a four-fold adjustable lying surface. All other characteristics of a nursing bed are omitted.

Functions and Features: What to Consider When Buying a Nursing Bed?

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 bed. The continuous height adjustment also means that the caregiver can adjust the lying surface to make care easier.

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

Electric Adjustment: Many nursing 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.

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 structure not only withstands more weight but also has no issues with loads from movements.
In general, a senior bed has a low entry height and also a four-fold adjustable lying surface. All other features of a care bed are omitted. Functions and equipment:

What should be considered when buying a nursing bed?

A nursing 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 features, designs, and handling tips to consider when purchasing a nursing bed: Height-adjustable lying surface: An individual adjustment of the height of the lying surface to the body size of the person in need of care significantly facilitates getting into and out of bed. But for the caregiver as well, the infinitely adjustable height 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 one has to spend a large part 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 primarily tailored to conditions such as pressure sores, incontinence, or dementia. Furthermore, such functional mattresses are generally easier to care for and usually have a lower weight than standard mattresses. This particularly facilitates handling for all caregivers who need to clean and turn the mattresses. Therefore, choosing the right care bed mattress is at least as important as the bed itself.

The Importance of Mattresses for Care Beds

While a healthy person spends an average of about eight hours in bed, patients in need of care must stay in bed significantly longer. Severe illnesses or even comatose states often result in the patient having to lie in bed 24 hours a day. For this reason, it is important that nursing mattresses are not only comfortable but also functional. 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 is uncomfortable for an extended period, they sleep poorly or only a little, leading to further physical or health problems. To counteract this, medical mattresses are indispensable in nursing 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 for which the mattress is designed. After all, as with standard mattresses, the degree of firmness is crucial for comfort. There are also different degrees of firmness for care bed mattresses. In addition to the patient's weight, the nature of the illness also determines how soft or firm the mattress should be. Pain patients, for example, typically require a softer mattress. Of course, the personal feelings of the patient should also be taken into account. After all, everyone prefers a different degree of firmness.

Furthermore, you should inform yourself 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. This is because mattresses specifically designed for care beds are usually not as thick as conventional mattresses, so a standard bed equipped with a care mattress may be too low. A surface that is too low often makes it difficult to get in and out.

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 particularly recommended, as they facilitate both care and the adjustment of the lying position. An adjustable lying surface also allows the patient to assume a sitting position in bed, which makes it easier for them to eat, for example.

Which mattress is the right one?

In addition to high comfort, functional properties are extremely important when choosing the right functional mattress. Regardless of the patient's condition, all nursing 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 state. Besides the standard nursing mattress, which is mainly suitable for people who do not require special treatment due to illness, it is important to pay attention to certain functions 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 adequately support you in your lying position and relieve the intervertebral discs, joints, and spine are suitable. There are also special mattresses for dementia diseases that are tailored to such a condition.

What are anti-decubitus mattresses?

If the person being cared for is forced to spend a lot of time in a hospital bed and cannot turn over independently due to physical limitations, "decubitus," also known as pressure ulcers, can pose a serious problem. Pressure or friction damages the skin and the underlying tissue. Decubitus begins with redness of the skin, expands to 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 meet requirements for optimal pressure distribution as well as ventilation and are therefore suitable for the prevention and treatment of decubitus. Such mattresses are particularly recommended for patients who have a high risk of decubitus, who have already been diagnosed with decubitus, or who require follow-up treatment.
