Hospital Beds for Fullerton Homes

For the beautiful low platform bed that has become impossible to leave.

Years ago you chose a sleek, low platform bed, the kind that looks wonderful in a mid-century room. Now your knees are older than the bed, and pushing yourself up from barely a foot off the floor takes everything you have.

Some mornings you roll to the floor and climb up from there. One of these days, the climb will not go well.

The answer. The Supernal 3 keeps the clean, furniture-style look you love, with every motor hidden behind upholstery, but it rises at a touch to whatever height makes standing easy, then lowers to about 10.5 inches at the frame when you want that low profile back. Head and foot adjust for reading and rest, and an optional support rail moves with the bed.

For the day the home health nurse says the bed is in the way.

The nurse comes twice a week to change dressings and check on your husband. She works bent double over a low bed, the light is wrong, and she cannot reach him from both sides.

Visits take longer, care is harder to do well, and she gently suggests that a proper bed would help everyone.

The answer. The Tuffcare raises to a comfortable working height with one pendant, so nurses, therapists and family can do their jobs standing upright. Eight locking casters let you roll it away from the wall for access on both sides, Trendelenburg, reverse and a lawn-chair position are a button away, and a backup battery covers up to 7 minutes in an outage.

For recovery after a head injury, when the head has to stay up.

After a fall and a brain injury, your son's doctors want his head kept elevated while he rests. In the hospital, the bed held that angle. At home, the family stacks pillows that slide out from under him by morning.

Nobody sleeps well, everyone checks on him all night, and the position the doctors asked for comes and goes.

The answer. Reverse Trendelenburg tilts the whole Supernal 5 to a steady incline that stays put all night, with no pillows to shift, and head and foot articulation fine-tune the angle. Hi-low height makes getting up safer, and zero gravity and Trendelenburg are there as recovery progresses. Set positions only as his doctors direct.

For the couple where only one of you needs a rail.

Your wife has started rolling close to the edge in her sleep, and her doctor suggested a side rail. You do not need one, and you do not want to climb over a fence to get into your own bed.

So the choice seems to be separate beds, or a rail that makes the bed awkward for you every night.

The answer. On a split Flexabed Hi-Low SL, rails are optional, so her side can have one while yours stays open. Each side adjusts head and foot independently, and the whole bed lifts vertically for easier standing, then lowers to about 16.5 inches with a mattress. Underbed lights and app control are available.

For the weeks after the doctor changes a medication.

Your father's doctor adjusted his heart medication and asked how he is sleeping. Dad says "fine." You are not so sure, and the next appointment is a month away.

Without real information, a dose that is not working can go unnoticed for weeks.

The answer. The Dawn House passively records heart rate, breathing, movement and sleep stages every night through sensors in its base, with nothing to wear. Its app shows how those numbers change over time, so you can bring a real picture to the next appointment. Hi-low height, voice control and motion-activated underbed lighting make his nights safer in the meantime.

For the weeks after cosmetic surgery, when you must sleep face-up.

After a facelift or eyelid surgery, surgeons often ask patients to sleep on their backs with the head raised for a week or two, to keep swelling down.

On a flat bed, you build a wall of pillows, roll onto your side in your sleep, and wake swollen and sore.

The answer. Raise the Ascend's head to the angle your surgeon recommends and save it on a preset, so it is there every night. Tilting the whole bed up to 7 degrees adds a gentle incline that discourages rolling, and about 7 inches of hi-low lift lets you get up without bending or straining. Underbed lighting guides you at night.
