Supports & Hoists

Bed supports and hoists are specialised devices designed to provide assistance and support for individuals who have difficulty with mobility, transfers or getting in and out of bed. These aids are specifically created to promote safety, comfort and independence.

Bed supports include products like bed rails, grab handles and assistive devices that can be attached to the bed frame, while hoists are mechanical devices used to lift and transfer individuals in and out of bed. They play a crucial role in enhancing your or a loved one’s daily routines and ensuring well-being.

Choosing the right bed supports and hoists starts with assessing your unique requirements. Consider factors such as your mobility level, strength and any specific challenges you may face when getting in and out of bed. If you are still unsure, get in touch with one of our expert occupational therapists who can advise you on the best independent living aids for your needs.

Bedroom hoists and supports are available in a variety of designs to accommodate different bed types and sizes. However, it's important to ensure compatibility with your specific bed before making a purchase.

Some bed supports and hoists may have adjustable features or be adaptable to fit a range of bed frames, while others may have specific requirements. Reading the product descriptions and consulting with the manufacturer or supplier can help you determine the suitability of a particular bed support or hoist for your bed.

Bed supports and hoists play a vital role in enhancing safety and promoting independence.

• Bed supports such as rails and grab handles provide stability and support when entering or exiting the bed, reducing the risk of falls or accidents.
• Hoists assist in transferring individuals who have limited mobility, enabling them to move in and out of bed with ease and minimising the strain on caregivers. By using these aids, individuals can maintain their independence, preserve their dignity and experience increased comfort and security during their bedtime routines.
