Bed Tables, Bed Rails, and Bedroom Aids

Choosing the Right Bedroom Aid

Each bedroom environment requires different support.Some people benefit from an overbed table for meals, reading, or laptop use while resting, while others rely on bed rails for safe transfers and reduced fall risk. Adjustable rails, folding tables, and mobile frames offer flexibility for both users and caregivers. By focusing on mobility level, available space, and daily routines, Allied Medical helps you select equipment that improves comfort and safety without disrupting how you use your bedroom. 
 

- Overbed Tables - Provide a stable surface for meals, reading, or laptop use while in bed. Height-adjustable and easy to move, they support comfort and reduce strain for users and caregivers. 

- Bed Rails - Offer safe support for getting in and out of bed and reduce the risk of falls. Available in fixed, folding, and removable designs to suit different beds and care environments. 

- Bed Frames and Accessories - Designed to improve safety and positioning, some models include adjustable height, head, and leg sections for better comfort and care access. 

- Positioning Aids - Cushions, wedges, and supports help maintain proper alignment, reduce pressure, and increase comfort for extended periods in bed. 

Each item is chosen to enhance safety and independence at home or in a care facility. 

Care and Maintenance Tips

Ensuring safety and comfort in your bedroom is key for both users and caregivers. The right equipment, combined with simple routines and checks, can make daily life easier and reduce the risk of accidents. 

Safety First 

- Always make sure bed rails, frames, and tables are correctly installed and securely fitted. A loose rail or wobbly table can cause falls or injury. 

- Check that rails and frames do not leave gaps where hands, feet, or limbs could get trapped. 

- Ensure all moving parts operate smoothly. If something sticks or feels unstable, stop using the equipment and contact Allied Medical for advice. 

- Keep the area around the bed clear of clutter and trip hazards. Small changes like non-slip mats or well-positioned lighting can make a big difference. 

Comfort and Care Tips 

- Position rails and overbed tables for easy reach without overextending or straining. 

- Use cushions, wedges, and positioning aids to maintain proper alignment, relieve pressure points, and increase overall comfort during long periods in bed. 

- Encourage safe routines when transferring in and out of bed, especially for users with limited mobility. 

- Regularly check all equipment for wear, loose screws, or instability. Proper maintenance extends the life of your aids and keeps users safe. 

- For caregivers, taking a moment to adjust tables, cushions, and rails for each user’s current needs can make a huge difference in safety and comfort. 

As mobility needs change, some equipment may no longer meet your requirements. Consider upgrading or adjusting aids if they feel unstable, difficult to use, or no longer provide adequate support. Allied Medical can provide guidance on the best options for changing needs.
