As the population ages, more families are choosing aging in place over nursing home care. A key part of that decision? Choosing the right homecare bed — one that supports comfort, mobility, and long-term well-being.
Here are the 5 most important features seniors (and their caregivers) should look for when selecting a homecare bed:
1. Adjustable Positions for Head and Legs
Seniors often need to elevate their upper or lower body for medical or comfort reasons — whether it’s to ease acid reflux, reduce swelling, or simply sit up to read or watch TV.
Look for: Beds with smooth, electric adjustability for both head and foot sections.
The Orin Adjustable Bed offers whisper-quiet motors and intuitive controls, making it easy for anyone to find their ideal position.
2. Easy and Safe Entry & Exit
Mobility is a major concern for aging adults. Getting in and out of bed shouldn’t require help every time.
Look for: Beds that offer rotating or lift-up features, or are low-profile for safe, independent use.
The Orin Bed’s 90° rotation feature allows users to transition from lying to sitting safely — without needing a caregiver.
3. Supportive, Pressure-Relieving Mattress
Older adults are more prone to pressure sores and discomfort from extended bed rest.
Look for: A mattress that balances support with softness, and is designed specifically for adjustable bases.
Orin’s high-density mattress is tailored for medical-grade support and everyday comfort.
4. Simple, Intuitive Controls
Fiddly remotes and hard-to-press buttons can be frustrating — especially for seniors with arthritis or reduced dexterity.
Look for: Ergonomic remote controls with clear buttons and easy presets.
Orin’s redesigned controller is lightweight, soft-touch, and perfectly suited for daily use.
5. Hygiene-Friendly Accessories
Care beds should make life easier — not harder. Removable, washable, and protective accessories can make a big difference.
Look for: Fluid-proof protectors, easy-to-wash sheet sets, and extra pillowcases.
Starsleep provides optional cotton sheet sets and waterproof mattress protectors — because comfort shouldn’t compromise cleanliness.
Choose a Bed That Supports Daily Living — Not Just Sleeping
The right homecare bed empowers independence, reduces caregiver burden, and helps seniors live with dignity and ease.
If you or a loved one are planning to age in place, invest in a bed that’s made for more than rest — choose one that enhances everyday life.
