Adjusting the Bed Safely
- Use the hand control to raise or lower the head, foot, or overall bed height slowly and gently.
- Make sure nothing is blocking the bed’s movement, such as furniture, cords, or bedding.
- Always lower the bed to its lowest setting when not actively in use to help prevent falls.
Positioning for Comfort and Health
- Change the user’s position every 1–2 hours if they have limited mobility to help prevent pressure sores.
- Elevate the head of the bed for eating, reading, or watching TV, and lower it for sleeping unless otherwise directed by a healthcare provider.
Use pillows or wedge cushions to support arms, legs, or the back as needed.
