From simple modifications like adding grab bars and transfer poles, to larger changes like purchasing an adjustable bed or installing a lifting device, there are many ways to create a home that supports safety and accessibility. In this blog highlighting bedroom and bathroom safety products, we’ll dive into solutions that Motion offers to support your sleep and hygiene routines.

Bedroom Safety

Bedroom safety products are important for creating a safe and comfortable environment, especially in spaces where we spend a significant portion of our time. Nighttime navigation is a valid concern for those wanting to stay in their own home as long as possible. In addition to proper room design, Motion will help you with other considerations, such as height-adjustable beds, bed support systems, and transfer devices.

Adjustable Beds

• Electrically powered beds that allow users to raise or lower the head, foot, or entire bed for comfort and ease of movement.
• Allows for enhanced comfort and easier mobility, improved sleep, and relief from pain and pressure.

Mattresses

• Support surfaces come in a variety of materials that each suit an individual’s unique needs:
  • Waterproof: Protection against spills and accidents to help maintain hygiene.
  • Foam: Offers pressure relief while maintaining breathability. This material is also hypoallergenic and antimicrobial.
  • Alternating pressure/ low air-loss: Prevents pressure wounds by distributing weight evenly. Often used for individuals who spend extended periods in bed.

Bed Rails

• Bed rails provide several benefits:
  • Fall prevention: Helps prevent falls for those with medical conditions that affect balance and coordination.
  • Improved mobility & independence: Provides support when getting in and out of bed, making movements easier for people with limited strength or mobility.
  • Assistance for caregivers: Makes it easier for caregivers to help individuals getting in and out of bed, reducing strain and injury risk.

Transfer boards

• Designed to help individuals with limited mobility safely transfer from one surface to another—such as from a wheelchair to a bed, chair, or car—without the need for lifting.
• Provide increased safety and independence, minimize physical strain for you or your caregiver, and provide comfort by making transfers smoother. 

Super poles

• A super pole is a must-have for safe transfers and has features like multiple grips or a stable base to provide additional support.
• Improves stability, supports mobility, and offers peace of mind anywhere in the home.
