Bedroom & Seating Aids

The equipment featured in our seating and bed aids section is designed to provide additional comfort and help make movement on and off furniture easier and safer for everyone.

It's common for our joints to become less flexible as we age, which is why many of our seating aids and bed aids can help those who are older to continue managing daily activities such as getting in and out of bed, turning and repositioning in bed, and getting on and off chairs independently.

There are also many health conditions which can affect the movement in our bodies and cause difficulties when sitting or standing. Seating and bed aids can help to make everyday tasks less of an effort and safer - particularly for anyone living with any of the following:

• Arthritis
• Sciatica or other back pain
• Joint pain
• Fibromyalgia
• Muscle weakness or pain
• Post-stroke symptoms
• Multiple Sclerosis
• Parkinson's or other neurological conditions

For many older people, or anyone living with a condition that restricts their movement, more time can be spent at home which is why it's so important to create a safe and comfortable environment. Home aids for the bedroom and living room are a great starting point for ensuring you are comfortable and can move around your house easily and independently.

If you're older or living with a disability, bedroom aids such as a bed rope ladder and fitted bed rail can help you rise to a seated position when you first wake up, and provide a safe support to help you get on and off the bed to start the day. Alternatively, for those with more complex needs, you may find an electric profiling bed more suitable as this requires less manual effort than a bed rope ladder or bed rail.

For those who spend a larger portion of the day in bed, an overbed table can provide a useful surface for eating, reading or writing.

Bed pads may be useful for those living with incontinence or who find it difficult to make it to the toilet. A commode or urinal may be placed in the bedroom to reduce the distance and time required to get to the bathroom at night.

When it comes to seating aids, it may be worth trying a set of furniture raisers if you're finding it difficult to get on and off your chair. If you require more support to stand but are still able to do so with the help of a family or professional carer, mobility aids such as a transfer disc can make it much easier to move between seats, e.g. from your favourite living room chair to your wheelchair.

The bedroom is one of the most important rooms of a house, as many of us spend a third of our lives sleeping! If falling out of bed is a concern, we provide bed aids like fall-out mats to reduce the impact of a fall, and bed alarms which alert others to the fact that you're no longer in bed - perfect if you are at risk of falling and have someone at home to support you.

We also provide a range of mobility bed aids for carers who are looking after someone with limited movement, such as bed hoists and slide sheets, for more efficient and comfortable transfers.

If you're looking for seating aids, a simple, yet quality chair cushion can raise the height of your seat so that you don't have as far to lower yourself when sitting or rise when standing. Alternatively, if you require a little more help, a portable lifting seat can be used to provide more support and also travel with you should you visit somewhere new.

The range of seating aids and bed aids we have available at NRS Healthcare can provide support for a wide variety of people - from those who are starting to notice themselves struggle when getting in and out of bed or off their chairs and who wish to remain independent, or for those people who need more support and require higher levels of care.

Many accidents in the home occur when getting out of bed, or getting up from a chair. A simple and inexpensive piece of equipment such as a furniture raiser or bed guard can help to reduce the risk of falls considerably and help our customers to remain independent in their own home for longer. They can even help to prevent serious injury - reducing the risk of hospital admission and stress to family and friends.
