    Recommendations/suggestions for a hospital bed?

    As the stairs become more difficult, I'm thinking about moving to a first floor bedroom. Any setup would require some expense (at least a new mattress, or an adjustable bed). During a couple of recent hospital stays I was impressed how comfortable the hospital beds were, and thought it made...

    Bed options

    My PALS had his clinic appointment yesterday. His PFT's have declined more. His neurologist wants him to sleep with some incline so he will have less chance of aspirating. I need suggestions on what works best. Bed wedges, adjustable beds, pillows? What are the pros and cons to adjustable...

    I have been researching hospital beds and spent long hours searching for ones that are not so "institutional" looking. Just sharing this in case others have the same interest; I have not purchased yet, nor have I decided what would be best for us. Home - TenderCare Beds
