Best folding beds for overnight guests to get a comfortable night's sleep

The Evening Standard's journalism is supported by our readers. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission.

Having guests over, for the most part, is exciting. Friends and family filling the house makes it feel more like home. 

Finding somewhere for them all to sleep? That can be the stuff of nightmares. 

With the festive period almost here, we’ll all soon be doing more than our fair share of hosting. While an inflatable mattress might be fine for younger guests for a night or two, there’s nothing like the comfort of a proper bed. A sofa bed is ideal, as it can be used for lounging and boxset bingeing before unfurling into a full-sized bed when it’s time to sleep. But if your funds can’t stretch to replacing your current sofa, or you need an extra option to sleep more people, a folding bed can help.

Perfectly described, this design is ideal for homes that are tight on space, closing into compact proportions for storage when the house is quiet again. Some are sold as frame-only while others come with mattresses included so all you have to do is top them with a duvet and pillows in nice bedding. 

Then there are Murphy beds, a style that was popular in America in which a bed folds down from the wall. This is more of a permanent solution with a stationary setting that will work well for spare rooms that have double use - your WFH office or a children’s playroom, for instance. 

If you’re in the market for a folding bed, the good news is that we’ve done the hard work for you and found the best available right now. From bed specialists to high street heroes, there are plenty of retailers to shop from with delivery right to your door.

Send out the sleepover invites; this pop-up bed will cradle your friends and family on a highly supportive sprung slatted base, offering them an excellent night's kip. A mattress with a tufted finish and anti-allergy treatment is also included, helpful for sneezy snoozers.

COSTWAY Folding Sofa Bed with Mattress

So you've already invested in a smart sofa bed but still need more sleep options for all your visitors? Head to Amazon where you can find this frankly genius ottoman bench from which pops out a bed frame made of solid alloy steel.

The compact look includes a soft mattress with a removable cover, which can easily be cleaned in the washing machine. Finished with soft-touch linen in a choice of blue, pink or grey it's an excellent example of multifunctional furniture that we can't get enough of.

Meadow Folding Bed Foam Free Mattress

Available in small single and small double sizes, this folding bed is made from a strong steel base (robust enough to sleep users weighing up to 5 stone) and includes a sprung base system to offer excellent support.

A mattress is also included in the purchase: choose from a foam-free or a pocket-sprung design to best suit your needs. Set up is easy thanks to the 360° castors and folding legs which allow you to open or close it in mere seconds. Comes with a one-year guarantee.

La Redoute Interiors Banero Folding Oak Murphy Bed

Folding out from compact dimensions against the wall, this single-size bed (90 x 190cm) is a fabulous extra sleeping solution to install in a spare room or even the living room. Alongside the oak and white melamine panels comes a set of lacquered plywood legs that keep the design propped up to the right height. Self-assembly is required and you will need to fix the unit securely to the wall, so it's one for confident DIYers.

Jay-Be Supreme Auto Folding Bed Micro e-Pocket Matt - Single

From one of the market leaders comes this single-sized folding bed complete with a headboard for sleeping comfort. The Jay-Be sprung base powder-coated steel bed frame comes with a 400-pocket spring Micro e-Pocket mattress to offer an excellent level of support under every part of the body. Best of all, once folded, a set of wheels descend to the bottom of the design, meaning you can roll it away into storage with ease.

Laura James Una Small Double Sofa Bed - Green - Velvet

Transforming into a double bed with a few unfolding moves, this chic foam-filled design is made from velvet to add a touch of opulence to your interiors. Perfect for small homes and flats, the legs unzip from the bottom half, allowing you to transform it from accent seating to a handy bed in minutes. It even comes with a matching cushion, which can serve as a pillow for overnight guests. As well as green, the colour options include blue, grey and yellow.

Jay-Be Supreme Pocket Sprung Folding Bed

Headboards aren't just there to look pretty; they're instrumental in stopping your pillow from moving around in the night. Jay-Be's folding bed incorporates this must-have into the design, which comes with a mattress included for the all-in-one package. Part of the bed is made with recycled materials, helping to divert unnecessary waste from going to landfill. Manoeuvre the bed into place using 360° castors and an automatic leg mechanism.

JAY-BE® Vitality Folding Bed with Foam Free Smart Fibre Mattress, Small Single

If you've got friends or family staying over for longer periods, you'll need a spare bed that's high on comfort. Jay-Be's Vitality option comes with a smart-fibre, foam-free extra-long mattress that's both supportive and comfortable. Unfurling from a strong and secure hinge, the frame drops down to support the mattress while durable high-tension springs ensure there are no dips across the entire base. It's a single-bed design, so perfect for adults and kids weighing 160kg or less.

A double-size version is available here for £335.

Vango Laze XL Reclining Campbed

Unpacked dimensions : 198.5cm x 69.5cm x 48.5cm

Packed dimensions : 70cm x 23cm x 83cm

Weight : 7.84kg

Seasoned campers know it’s better to invest in quality kit rather than buying cheap year after year - and anything with a dual function is a plus. Therefore we’ve included this camp bed, which is not only generously sized and can bear more than 18st, but it has the ability to recline at five different angles too - making it perfect for sunbathing on summer camping trips when you’re not snoozing under the stars.

10 best air beds for cosy camping and sleepovers

Whether you opt for a single or a double, you’ll be a happy camper in one of these, article bookmarked.

Find your bookmarks in your Independent Premium section, under my profile

Will you opt for a self-inflating style, or one with a built-in pump?

One of the most common worries for would-be campers is whether they’ll be able to get a good night’s sleep in a tent – after all, a family holiday or a festival weekend isn’t much fun if you’re not getting proper rest. And the best way to make sure you sleep well in the great outdoors is on a decent air bed.

You’ll find both camping mats and air beds on the market. Camping mats are thin, inflatable mattresses that roll down small and are designed for backpacking, wild camping and adventures where portability and weight are key factors. Air beds, on the other hand, tend to be large, heavy and more time-consuming to inflate.

What makes air beds worth it is the far better quality of sleep they offer by elevating you properly off the ground. They also allow you to eschew sleeping bags in favour of proper sheets, pillows and duvets to make camping far comfier. A good air bed is also a great investment for putting guests up in comfort at home.

There are plenty of affordable air mattresses available to buy, but this is one bit of kit where we’d recommend investing in something decent. A very cheap air bed can be a false economy – they’re prone to slowly deflating in the night, and can be plasticky and uncomfortable to sleep on. Our picks are all reliable, comfortable and durable, and include some real bargains.

How we tested.

We set up and slept on each air mat and tested how quick and easy they were to inflate, whether they held their shape during the night and how comfortable they felt to kip on. We also tested how easy they were to deflate, pack down and store, to make sure they’ll be suitable for all kinds of camping adventures as well as for overnight guests.

The best air beds for 2024 are:

• Best air bed overall – Vango shangri-la II 15cm grande mat: £159.99, Outdoorworlddirect.co.uk
• Best budget buy – Hi-Gear deluxe double air bed: £15, Gooutdoors.co.uk
• Best for kids – Bundle Beds rainbow classic bed: £315, Bundlebeds.com
• Best sleep system for adults – ReadyBed double inflatable camping air bed and sleeping bag: £60, Argos.co.uk

Vango shangri-la II 15cm grande mat

• Best : Overall
• Inflation time : 2 minutes
• Inflation method : Self-inflating
• Weight : 4.3kg

The shangri-la is possibly the poshest camping mat on the market. Yes, it costs an arm and a leg, but Vango’s quality mattress delivers sleep quality worthy of its paradisiacal namesake. This mat looks rather slim but delivers a really comfortable sleep akin to a proper bed mattress, and we especially like the lovely soft integrated mattress topper. This mat is also self-inflating, which means you can let it sort itself out whilst you get on with relaxing. Look after it and it should look after you for decades. A good choice for glampers who don’t want to rough it.

Hi-Gear deluxe double air bed

• Best : On a budget
• Inflation time : 5 minutes
• Inflation method : Built-in foot pump
• Weight : 3.8kg

Watching the pennies? This cheap and cheerful air bed is super-affordable but still ticks all the boxes – it’s easy and quick to inflate using its own integrated foot pump, is comfortable and roomy emough for two people to share for a night or two and packs away easily. The flocked outer material of the deluxe double is comfortable to sleep on, and we like the slightly raised pillow (although you’ll still want to bring your own sheet and extra pillows as well). The rubber bottom of this mat feels strong and sturdy and we didn’t encounter any slow leaks on test. A good cheap choice for having guests over as well as for camping.

Quechua inflatable air comfort single camping mattress

• Best : For saving space
• Inflation method : Pump (not included)
• Weight : 2.2kg

Need something light and portable that still offers a decent night’s sleep? Quechua’s air mattress is a great choice for weekend camping, backpacking and cycle tours where space is an issue but you fancy something a cut above a basic camping mat.

This single air bed weighs just 2.2kg and packs down to the size of a large loaf of bread, so it’ll suit smaller tents and work well if you have limited storage at home. Good things come in small packages – this single mat is comfy to sleep on and feels surprisingly supportive and soft, although it is rather narrow. It’s the work of minutes to get the mattress inflated even with a foot pump. A double version is also available.

Coleman extra durable raised double air bed

• Best : For height off the ground
• Inflation time : 10 minutes
• Weight : 3.5kg

We’re big fans of the Coleman extra durable double bed. Although it weighs only 3.5kg and is easy to pack down, it inflates to a considerably lofty height of almost 50cm, meaning it’s perfect for those who find camping beds and mats that are too close to the ground uncomfortable.

This air bed is available in single or regular double sizes, but we liked the raised double the best – it offers one or two campers or overnight guests excellent padding when fully inflated, and if you’re sharing, you’ll have plenty of space. This would usually be one of the more expensive beds in our round-up, but at the time of writing just £78.13 buys you a robust design that won’t disappoint.

Bundle Beds rainbow classic bed

• Best : For kids
• Weight : 6.5kg

Little ones are guaranteed sweet dreams with this rather adorable camping bed setup. Bundle Beds aren’t cheap, but they are clever – a compact bag contains a self-inflating mattress which we found inflated fully in just a minute or two on test, plus a soft, cosy duvet, a pillow and bed linen. In short, there’s everything you need ready to get your child snug and ready for a warm night in a tent, or for them to take along to their first sleepover or whip out when friends come to stay.

We like that the filling for the bed and duvet is fully recycled, although at 6.5kg the whole bundle is quite heavy, so smaller kids may not be able to cart it about alone.

Mountain Warehouse kids inflatable portable air bed

• Best : Kid’s bed on a budget
• Inflation time : 4 minutes
• Weight : 1.7kg

Designed for use everywhere from camping trips and campervan holidays to sleepovers at grandma’s, this simple and affordable bed for little ones is fuss-free to get kids comfy. We like the raised sides, which stop children rolling off the air bed in the middle of the night, and you can still pop a sheet on top of this mat before you add a pillow and sleeping bag. Mountain Warehouse’s portable mat is quick to inflate even if the little one wants to help you work the foot pump. It’s a pity a carry case isn’t included, and that the only colours are pink and blue.

Abberton 4-in-1 flocked air bed

• Best : Convertible mattress
• Weight : 1.6kg

Not sure if you need a single or a double mattress? Get the best of both worlds with this clever Abberton design– you can zip together the two separate air beds to make a comfy double, use them separately or stack them together for a deep single bed that makes for a very comfy night for one camper. The flocked surface is soft and keeps a sheet from slipping about, and we found this mat stayed inflated effectively when on test. The Abberton bed comes with two small pillows and packs away into a neat little package for easy storage, although a carry case isn’t included.

Boutique Camping self-inflating camping mattress

• Best : For glamping
• Weight : 3.7kg

Elevate your glamping game with this delightfully comfortable mattress from bell tent makers Boutique Camping. Designed for decking out your canvas yurt or tipi, this wide double mat is stuffed with a thick foam that feels very luxurious to lie on and only takes a few minutes to self-inflate despite its generous size.

The soft fabric cover of this mattress is a cut above most plastic-y air mats and feels more like a real bed than most. It’s also easy to squash air out of the mat and store it away in its carry bag. Choose from a single or a double mattress to suit the size of your glamping palace.

ReadyBed double inflatable camping air bed and sleeping bag

• Best : Sleep system for adults
• Weight : 7kg

If you were eyeing up the Bundle Bed all-in-one mattress for kids (£315, Bundlebeds.com ) and wishing there was a camping sleeping system especially for adults – you’re in luck. Open the ReadyBed carry case and you’ve got a near-on instant bed, with an air bed that sports a built-in sleeping bag and pillow, so you’ll never forget the camping kit you need.

The sleeping bag is only really warm enough for summer or indoor sleeps but you can add extra duvets on top or add a sleeping bag inside the duvet on chillier nights, and the ReadyBed’s fabric cover is removable and washable. ReadyBed reckon it takes a minute to inflate their design but we’d give it more like 10-15 with a foot pump.

Outwell excellent king-size air bed

• Best : XL size air bed
• Weight : 5kg

Make your camping setup king-sized with this frankly enormous air bed. Outwell’s excellent king is super roomy, and any tall or plus-size sleepers who find double mats a bit restrictive will love stretching out. With a max load of 340kg, this air bed can also take a lot more weight than most doubles, which are usually designed up to hold up to 200kg.

The soft velour cover of this mat feels comfy to lie on and the bed holds you well off the floor, with no midnight sagging on test. If you share this air bed you’re less likely to feel like you’re going to roll into each other in the middle during the night too. We’d recommend using an electric pump as this is such a large mat and we had it inflated in under three minutes.

Air bed FAQs

What is the difference between an air bed and an air mattress.

The main difference between an air mattress and an air bed is that the former is designed to be used indoors, while the latter is for outdoor use.

What is the lifespan of an air bed?

The average air bed can easily last up to 15 years. Often, if you opt for an air bed that has a built-in pump, the pump will fail before the bed will.

How to choose the best air bed for you

There are a number of things to consider when choosing an air bed:

• Pump: For a super-easy-to-use air bed, you’ll want to opt for one that has a built-in pump, including manual, battery-operated, and plug-in. We’d suggest going for one with an electric option, as this will make the blowing-up-process faster.
• Height: A taller mattress is likely to be more comfortable, as it has more air, but, of course, it will be more cumbersome. So, if portability is important, you may want to consider a thinner air bed.
• Air chambers: Air beds with vertical air chambers are more comfortable because they work to distribute the weight. It’s worth noting that while air chambers that run side to side look more comfortable, they can sag when you lie down.
• Inflation time: It’s worth noting how long it takes the air bed to inflate – it’ll usually be a couple of minutes.

How to repair a punctured air bed

According to the Sleep Foundation , it’s completely natural for air beds to lose some inflation over time. However, if this happens regularly, it’s probably due to a puncture of some kind. If this sounds like a problem you’re dealing with, fear not, as DIY repairs are very common within the air bed community.

According to Lauren Fountain from the Sleep Foundation, to fix the leak, you’ll need to locate the hole and then clean the area. She goes on to say you then need to “use an adhesive and some plastic or vinyl patches to cover the leak” and “after letting the patch set for several hours, you can test the patch to ensure the mattress is no longer leaking”.

Some air beds come with a patch kit, which typically includes an adhesive, applicator and patches that match your air bed material. However if you don’t have this kit to hand, you can either buy one (taking into consideration the colour and material of your mattress) or fashion something yourself. Substitutes for a patch include some kind of thin, plastic material, such as part of a shower curtain liner – and you’ll want to use a strong glue as your adhesive, so your DIY work dries tight.

While we’ve not tested these patch kits ourselves, we found two inoffesively priced options, should you be looking to do some repairs yourself. The air bed inflatable mattress kit from True Strength (£11.95, Amazon.co.uk ) comes with two different-sized patches, two adhesive tubes and disposable gloves. Meanwhile Decathlon is selling this patch kit with three large adhesive patches (£5.49, Decathlon ).

The verdict: Air beds

There’s an air bed to suit all kinds of camper (and on any budget) in our round-up. Our top pick for comfort is Vango’s shangri-la II 15cm grande mat , which is expensive but worth splashing out on if you want a quality air bed you can use both for camping and for having guests over at home. Need something more affordable? Hi-Gear’s deluxe double air bed is surprisingly comfortable and costs a paltry £15.  And if you’re not sure if you need a single or a double mat, try Abberton’s convertible 4-in-1 flocked air bed for size.

The best fold away beds for a comfy night's sleep

By Lucy Smith

If we're honest with ourselves, even the best fold away beds are… usually not the most attractive. There are, of course, some exceptions to that rule (ahem, Made.com), but if you're looking for a bed that has the capability to be crammed into the tiniest of cupboards, then chances are you won't mind what it looks like. It is meant to be ‘folded away’, after all. 

Fold away beds - often termed as Zed beds, camp beds and roll away beds - are super handy home accessories to have, especially around Christmastime when you'll have the world and his wife bundling into your home. Plus, nowadays you can even buy foldaway beds with plush mattresses to keep your nearest and dearest as comfy as possible. And not all of them will break the bank, either. 

Naturally, we've been researching some of the very best, and lucky for you, come through with a thorough buying guide to help you find exactly what you're looking for – whether it's for the tiniest of apartments or most spacious of home spaces. There's something for everyone here, so let's not beat around the bush.

• Bed size - single
• Mattress type? Foam-filled fold out floor mattress

At just 64 x 77cm, this ottoman foldaway bed is great for impromptu visitors with none of the faff of a metal frame. When not in use as a bedchair, it'll double as extra seating for party guests and the plush seat cushion will serve as an ample headboard for the lucky someone's sleepover. 

• Mattress type? Rebound e-Fibre mattress rests on a J-Tex sprung base system

With castors so you can easily glide it to your home's dedicated out-of-sight hideaway when not in use, this folding bed frame is suitable for heavier adults with its more substantial sprung makeup, not to mention buyers of this little single bed will certainly get value for their money with its lifetime warranty.

• Bed size - small single
• Mattress type? Waterproof deep sprung mattress

A top pick for spill-prone kids, adults with incontinence issues or even just period protection, this Jay-Be Crown Windermere bed features a solid wood headboard which, when folded, can double as a space-saving living room side table - just make sure to hide the blue mattress from view, it's not the most design-led! 

By Emma Howarth

By Elle Turner

By Charlie Teather

• Bed size - Single or small double
• Mattress type? Performance e-Fibre mattress with an open cell structure and dedicated airflow layer for breathability

With a sprung slatted base to ensure a good night's sleep, the J-Bed is one of the more attractive/less intrusive models from Jay-Be, with J-lok easy opening and closing so you don't have to get fiddly with bed folding mechanisms when your friends decide to stay last minute and, additionally, it's hypoallergenic for guests prone to any adverse fabric reactions.

• Bed size - Small double
• Mattress type? N/A - velvet-covered cushioned foam filling

Chic in appearance and most certainly not an eyesore for a guest room, this two seater foldable sofa bed is reasonably priced, can be personalised to your home's colour scheme with the option of four different fabrics and is a plush lounger for reading, drinking tea and just generally relaxing.

• Bed size - Single
• Mattress type? N/A - durable fabric stretched over two parallel poles

Whether or not a camping trip is on the horizon, owning a campbed - especially if you live in a compact space - will be something you're grateful for come Christmastime when everyone and their sister is bundling into your home. Ultralight and easy to pack away into its carry bag when the family's gone home, the Eurohike Utah 4 Leg Campbed not only provides reasonable comfort, but is arguably easier on both the host and guests sleeping than one of even the best air mattresses . 

• Mattress type? N/A - 600 denier polyester across an open leg frame

This Vango folding camp bed is a top pick, if you ask us, for buyers with outdoor space, not least of all because it doubles as a reclining sun lounger to add to your garden furniture haul. For longer stays, of course, you might prefer to have an airbed or rollaway bed in your arsenal, but when space is at a premium and you just need a vessel that isn't the floor to pop your great aunt Sue onto, the Vango Laze will be just the ticket.

• Mattress type? N/A - not included

If you're an out of sight out of mind person, then a Murphy bed will be at the top of your ‘best folding bed’ list. This one is one of the more attractive iterations, featuring oak panels for a high-quality finish and one that'll bring some warmth to an otherwise lifeless wall bed. We're big fans of the fact that you can fit it with your own choice of memory foam mattress or pocket sprung mattress - as you prefer - and being able to make up the bed with its mattress topper , protector etc. before you fold it away into its easy to store wall fixing, is revolutionary.

• Mattress type? Deep sprung mattress with a luxury lambswool comfort layer

The Jaybe Crown Premier folding mattress bed features one of the plushest mattresses money can buy when it comes to single folding beds and, serving as a bit of extra shelving when compacted together (before you pull out and open up the mattress guest bed), it's one of our top selections for low-space households.

• Bed size - Small single
• Mattress type? Foam Free Smart Fibre Mattress

One of the best value folding beds on the market, the Pioneer from Jay-Be has a slim enough steel frame so as not to ruin your décor, and features a durable spring base which, it so happens, is more heavy duty for long-term use than a foldable bed with slats. Simple, effective - we can't complain.

• Bed size - Single but can extend into a double bed
• Mattress type? N/A not included

While a trundle bed might not be quite as compact as a hammock or camping mattress, they're certainly less of a mar on your interiors and, what's more, they mean you can easily store your guest bed mattress in the included underbed storage. This one comes in a minimalist white - nothing to dislike there - and is made from sturdy pine. If you ask us, it's a wishlist item for a generic bed frame , let alone one with an extra storage bed underneath. 

• Mattress type? Foam Free Pocket Sprung Mattress

Another one of the better Jay-Be value for money iterations, this folding bed includes free delivery, the signature Jay-Be J-Tex sprung base system for full body support and, in terms of design, one of the least offensive metal frames so you don't have to accept all that factory-esque metal work and wheels into your crisp interiors. 

• Bed size - Small double bed
• Mattress type? 3D Airflow Pocket Sprung 400 Mattress

Bunk beds may be space saving but a fold up double bed will serve you better if you're tight on space. This one is a bestseller on the John Lewis website and it's no surprise with its plush pocket sprung mattress, complete with a soft knitted polyester liner to keep your guests comfy. 

• Mattress type? N/A - velvet covering a foam fibre wrap filling, plus

Somewhat of a single sofa bed come chairbed, this Habitat one-seater sofa bed is versatile enough for use with guests staying over or, equally, extra bedroom/living room seating and, that pink velvet !! We love her. 

• Bed size - Hi-Gear double bed
• Mattress type? N/A - polyester fabric stretched over a collapsible frame

Hi-Gear have quite a large range of camping beds but, this one, weighing in at just 13.7kg (about 10kg less than some of its competitors), is big enough for couples and/or friends, not to mention it'll save you from buying a heater if you're planning to use it while camping. Yep, being several inches above the ground will save you/your guests from feeling the cold through hard wood floors or, if outside, a groundsheet. 

• Bed size - Large double/Queen size
• Mattress type? N/A - Zippered high-density foam filling

No need for casters here, this chairbed sits flush against your floor and, when you inevitably need to use it to house extra guests overnight, you need only open up the ties and fold out the foam sections. The bolstered backrest also doubles as an impromptu headboard, so there's not much to dislike, really.

• Bed size - Double
• Mattress type? 4-inch mattress topper with a high-quality quilted microfibre top

A kids plat mat come mattress topper come floor mattress, this affordable bed alternative isn't available on Prime next day delivery - boo! - but it is available in four colours, if that's any consolation. For us, we'd use it as a make shift mattress for a new platform bed frame or something of the like or, equally, a day bed for sleepy toddlers to take a quick kip. So versatile! 

• Mattress type? Memory foam with water resistant polyester lining

Easily doubling up as a footstool/pouffe/small seat, this Zed bed from Amazon comes in a variety of bright colours - ideal for both maximalist interiors and kids' bedrooms - and is only  67 x 57 x 39cm in size when folded. A super pick for families and buyers with minimal space. 

• Mattress type? N/A adjustable lumbar support base

A bit of a rogue one, but a top pick for the camping fanatic nonetheless. The Nash zed bed is a 2-in-1 outdoor gear/sleeping solution and, for the zero faff buyer, it comes with a sleeping bag, power outlet and bed base all as part and parcel of the sleep system. Can't be bothered to make up a duvet ? Fret not.

• Mattress type? Memory foam mattress

The Milliard Diplomat folding bed is the guest bed for buyers with either elderly relatives or, simply, those who put comfort at the forefront of their requirements. It may not come with a headboard as standard, but if you prop it against a wall with some throw cushions it'll be practically as comfy as a pin-tucked winged headboard with all the bells and whistles.

Cots and travel beds

This section includes portable cots and beds with supportive features for children and adults. Some beds are designed to accommodate the size and weight of a heavier user, some can be made-to-measure. Many are available in a range of widths.

Cots suitable for children may be fixed height, or provide height adjustment of the mattress platform or the whole cot. These cots may be profiling, have a Trendelenburg/reverse Trendelenburg feature (where the entire bed can be tilted towards the head or feet) and lateral turning. The doors can be front opening, bi-fold, sliding or drop-down and can include clear Perspex panels and full or partial padding.

Cots suitable for adults have platform sizes and weight capacities which make them suitable for adult users. They are adjustable in height to suit transfer and carer needs, and have high surrounding sides. They may have a profiling mattress platform.

Cots with features which may make them suitable for use by a parent with a disability , for example clearance underneath the mattress platform for a wheelchair, powered height adjustment and a low mattress platform height.

Travel beds provide a portable sleeping space.

Introduction

British standards, where to get help and advice, statutory provision of bed equipment, for people who need help to sit up or lie down in bed, lifting poles, rope ladders, pull straps, grab handles, mattress inclinators, pillow lifters, variable posture beds, section mattress platforms, for people who need back support when sitting in bed, v-shaped pillows, free standing backrests, tilting headboards, armchair-shaped back supports, for people who slide down the bed, supports and wedges, one way glides, tilting beds/kings fund beds, mattress inclinators and pillow lifters, for people who have difficulty getting their legs into bed, manual leg lifters, powered leg lifters, for people who have difficulty moving or turning in bed, turning beds, turning units, low friction rollers, flat sliding sheets, for people who have difficulty getting out of bed, moving to the edge of the bed, hand blocks, standing up, bed leg raisers, elevating units, adjustable height beds, for people who cannot safely take weight through their legs or whose ability to move is limited, wall-fixed/free-standing swinging hoists, overhead track hoists, mobile hoists, transfer boards, turning discs, handling belts, for people with continence difficulties, waterproof bedding, waterproof drawsheets, waterproof pads, enuresis alarms, for people with back pain, 'orthopaedic' beds and mattresses, for people who need the bed clothes away from their body or legs, bed cradles, for people who fall or wander from bed, bed rails (cotsides), padding and netting, movement activated alarms, for people who have to lie flat for long periods of time, reading stands, page turners, recumbent glasses, mattresses for comfort, standard foam mattresses, fibre filled mattresses, natural sheepskin, synthetic sheepskin, natural fleece on a fabric backing, for people who wish to eat or want to carry out leisure activities, such as reading in bed, trays with a bean filled base, trays with supports, cantilever tables, book stands, storage pouches, clamping equipment.

As most people spend between a third and a half of their lives in bed, it is important to ensure that the time spent there is as comfortable as possible, and that it is easy to move around or get in or out of the bed.

For information about choosing a standard, extra long or extra wide bed, contact the National Bed Federation (NBF). They will be able to send you factsheets on how to choose a bed and mattress. These are provided free of charge.

The aim of this factsheet is to provide information about accessories for standard beds and beds with special features that are available to help people with specific difficulties or their carers. These difficulties may include getting in and out of bed, turning over, sitting up and generally getting comfortable in bed. Comfort and sleeping well are essential not only for the well-being of a person, but also because, for some people, they may mean the difference between being able or unable to carry out activities independently. If you are experiencing difficulty with any of the activities mentioned above, you may benefit from an assessment by a physiotherapist or occupational therapist. Sometimes a change in the way you carry out an activity or a different technique may help you to manage independently instead of using equipment.

Many of the beds with special features are available as a double bed where one side of the bed remains as a standard bed.

For up-to-date product and supplier information, please contact our equipment helpline, open Tuesday to Thursday 9am-5pm. Tel: 0300 999 0004 (calls charged at local rate)

All upholstered furniture that is intended for private use in a house needs to conform to the Furniture and Furnishings (Fire)(Safety) Regulations act 1988. Within each standard there are several parts with tests of increasing severity. Check with suppliers which parts have been met.

It is advisable to seek independent advice before buying bed accessories or buying a special bed. Sometimes another solution may help instead, or the local council or health service may provide an appropriate service. Beware of salesmen who try to persuade you to buy equipment that does not meet your needs or is poor value for money.

If you have a disability or you are caring for someone with a disability, remember that you have the right to ask social services for a community care assessment.

The council assessor considers the type and level of your need. If you have many needs or if your needs are assessed as essential or complex the council may help directly; for example, if you have difficulty moving in bed and getting out of bed.

If you find you would prefer a different service to the one offered by the local authority you can ask for a direct payment of money instead; since April 2003, this also applies to equipment the local authority may offer you.

If your needs are few or simple, the council may not help directly. For example, if your only need is that your bed is too low which makes it difficult for you to stand up, you may receive advice on alternative ways of solving the problem instead of direct help. Perhaps you may be directed to where you can buy equipment locally, visit a local independent living centre or obtain suitable mail order catalogues.

The recommendation is that before you buy any equipment, particularly beds, try it out.

In the past this was often seen by the different authorities as a grey area of provision. Even today, the organisation that provides this type of equipment may vary from one area of the country to another.

Sometimes it is regarded as home nursing equipment, i.e. that which a community nurse considers necessary to help him or her carry out nursing duties effectively. Examples of items that may be supplied by the community nurse are:

• bed backrests, bed cradles, bed tables, bed rails, bed linen;
• beds such as pressure relief beds or mattresses and hospital-type nursing beds;
• hoists and small handling equipment.

However, other items are regarded as daily living equipment, i.e. that which enables a person to get on with daily living, and may make them more independent.

This may include items such as:

• rope ladders, bed blocks, self-lifting blocks, lifting poles, grab handles;
• overhead and mobile hoists;
• leg lifters.

This type of equipment may be supplied by social services.

The different authorities now have a legal duty to work together to try and ensure equipment is provided as quickly as possible after an assessment of need is agreed.

Lifting poles (or pull handles) are designed to make moving around, moving into semi-lying positions or getting in and out of bed easier. The majority have a floor standing cantilever gantry, although some are wall- or bed-attached. If freestanding, care should be taken to ensure that the base is positioned properly under the bed, otherwise the gantry frame may tip over. A handle hangs from the gantry and, when adjusted to a suitable height, some people with enough strength can pull on it safely. The user does need to have fairly strong upper limbs and good abdominal control.

Lifting poles are not usually suitable for people with painful arms, painful shoulders, limited overhead shoulder movement or abdominal weakness.

Consider the following:

• a moulded handgrip may be more comfortable to hold and an adjustable length strap provides greater flexibility;
• ensure that there is enough room for the base to slide under a divan bed and, where possible, fasten it to the bed headboard for greater stability;
• if the person also uses a mobile hoist for transfers, ensure that the lifting pole base does not prevent the hoist from being correctly positioned under the bed, and that the overhead arm does not obstruct the lifting boom of the hoist;
• some models dismantle for transporting, which may make it possible to take the lifting pole on holiday;
• remember that appearance is important, especially if the pole is to be used in a domestic setting. Some of the frames look very clinical.

Rope ladders either fit onto the footboard, the bed frame or the two feet at the end of the bed. They have rungs which the person pulls on to help him/herself into a sitting position.

Ensure that the ladder is safely and securely fixed in place and that the first rung is within reach of the person lying on the bed. Take care as those with plastic rungs may be slippery to hold. A retrieval line pinned to the bedclothes is sometimes needed if the rope ladder slips to the floor during the night.

A pull strap has a similar function to a rope ladder; instead of rungs to pull on there are loops in the strap. Some straps have a clip that makes it easier to secure the strap to the bed. They are lightweight and easily transported.

The various types of grab handles on the market are either wall-fixed, bed-fixed or floor-fixed. They are used to pull on by someone to help sit up or turn over in bed.

• Some are fixed in one position, whilst others lock into a choice of several positions. Some of the static models could obstruct part of the bedside, making it difficult to get in and out.
• Floor-fixed rails may be difficult to install if the floor is made of concrete.
• Ensure that bed-attached models are securely fixed. Some are tucked under the mattress and only rely on the weight of the person to secure them in position.
• Ensure that there is no risk of entrapment within the rail, at either end of the rail or between the rail and the mattress.

Guidance on spaces and safety can be found in the 2001 bulletin from the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency entitled Advice on the safe use of bed rails.

Mattress inclinators (or mattress variators) are powered devices which can help a person sit up and lie down independently. They can remain raised to form a backrest if required to support a person in a sitting position. They are available for single or double beds.

• check the mattress is compatible with the mattress inclinator. Hinged mattresses are most suitable and fibre- or foam-filled mattresses are usually compatible. Mattresses with continuous wire edging are unsuitable and pocket sprung mattresses may be damaged by long term use;
• because most inclinators do not have a knee break there is a risk the person may slip down the bed as soon as he/she sits up or later after a period of sitting. Three- or four-sectioned variable posture beds have the option to raise the person's knees to help prevent this happening;
• mattress elevators usually have a hinged frame which is placed between, and strapped to, the bed base and the mattress. Depending on the model chosen, the mattress is raised by air from a powered compressor inflating an air bag enclosed in the frame, or by a hydraulic piston attached to the frame;
• the amount of noise made by these units varies. Personal preference and whether other people nearby will be disturbed needs considering. Air bags tend to be noisier and hydraulic pistons quieter;
• most inclinators are controlled with a handset. Usually this has two separate switches or one rocker switch. Alternative controls, e.g. a joystick, are sometimes available;
• mattress inclinators and pillow lifters usually lift the person forwards and away from the bedside cabinet. A few models are designed to slide back as they lift so that the cabinet is still in reach.

Pillow lifters (or pillow lifts) rest on the top of the mattress and under the pillow (sometimes the pillow is part of the equipment). They are similar to mattress inclinators but are much narrower and give less support. If there is a risk that the person may fall off sideways it is probably more appropriate to use a mattress inclinator or a variable posture bed.

Pillow lifters with a knee break reduce the risk that the person will slip down the bed.

Variable posture beds have sections in the base under the mattress. The sections can hinge to form a back raise and sometimes a leg raise as well. This feature is known as profiling.

Some companies have a double bed option. Usually this comprises two single beds placed close together (one or both with the profiling option). If needed, ensure the beds will separate easily, e.g. for carers to assist from both sides, and/or there is sufficient clearance underneath, e.g. for the legs of a portable hoist.

• three-section variable posture beds slightly raise the user’s knees, forming a knee break that may prevent him/her from sliding down the bed;
• a more comfortable and stable position can be achieved in a bed with four sections, as the user’s bottom remains horizontal while the knees are raised to form a break;
• five-section beds provide more profiling within the head/backrest section;
• two-section beds are sit-up only; the angle of the head section is adjusted to help sitting up/lying down or to form a backrest. There is no knee break option and, like most mattress inclinators and pillow lifters, it is likely that the person will slip down the bed.

Variable posture beds can be adjusted manually or electrically while the person is on the bed:

• those with a powered mechanism are usually controlled with a handset. Although powered by a motor, most are quiet or almost silent;
• manually operated beds are controlled by a foot-operated gas-assisted mechanism, a lever or winding mechanism or a ratchet system. The carer can find all of these quite hard work and the user cannot control the adjustment.

The mattresses for these beds are either foam, latex or sprung. They should have divisions to correspond with the sections of the bed's mattress platform. A sprung mattress with continuous wire edging should not be used, as it will make it difficult to profile the bed. It is advisable to check with the bed manufacturer if the mattress needs to be replaced at any stage. Alternatively, the National Bed Federation can provide information on companies that sell sectioned mattresses.

Both domestic and hospital versions of variable posture beds are available. The domestic ones tend to be smaller with a wooden or padded headboard and generally look more homely. The hospital versions are larger, usually with a metal frame, more resilient and often have a choice of nursing functions.

It is important to check that a hospital bed provides the functions needed. Many have a tilting mechanism and most have the option of safety sides. It is necessary to specify other options; e.g. quick release of the backrest for resuscitation, removable head and footboards for assisted transfers, or the facility to choose which bed movements the occupant is able to control.

These can be fitted onto the frame of a standard bed so that the platform can profile the mattress like a variable posture bed. The powered mechanism is controlled by a handset.

These can be used either as a bed or chair and users do not have to transfer from chair to bed or vice versa if they need to change position or sleep.

Some take the form of very adjustable beds, which can be electrically profiled so that the person is able to achieve a sitting position. Others are primarily chairs that can be reclined fully so that the person can lie horizontally.

Some of the items below are occasionally used in conjunction with those in the following section - ‘For people who slide down the bed’- to prevent the person from sliding down the bed when in a seated position.

These are used inverted on the bed to support the person’s shoulders, arms and neck.

These have a wooden or metal frame. The angle of the supporting surface can be adjusted for use under the pillows to support the person in a sitting position. A headboard is essential to prevent the backrest from sliding backwards. Most fold flat for storage.

Tilting headboards are pulled forward at the base to provide a backrest. They are found on many older hospital beds. The manual operation is often hazardous involving twisting, bending and straining.

These supports are usually made of covered foam and have a backrest and armrests to provide comfort and support.

These can be adjusted to change the shape or profile of the bed according to the needs of the individual. The head end of the mattress can be elevated to support the back and shoulders of a person whilst they are sitting, and a knee break stops users from sliding down the bed. For further information see section ‘For people who need help to sit up or lie down in bed’.

The following items may help to provide a stable position for someone in bed. A person is more likely to slip down the bed when in a sitting position if they are not supported under their knees. Care should be taken that frequent sliding does not result in pressure ulcers.

These are foam wedges or shaped pillows that can be positioned under the legs to provide support in bed.

A footboard is attached to the mattress or to a fixing plate at the end of the bed. Users need to have enough strength in their legs to push against it to prevent them from sliding down the bed or to enable them to re-position themselves.

These are slip-resistant devices that move in one direction only. They are made of a length of material that has been stitched to form a continuous roller. The inside of the glide is made of a material that will easily slide one way, but cannot slide the other way. It is placed under the person sitting in bed, and enables him/her to slide or be slid backwards into a stable position, but not to slide forwards again. Some have foam or gel cushion inserts for comfort.

Some sliding sheets can also be used in a similar way. Care should be taken to ensure that the material does not wrinkle up under the bottom of the user, as any creases could be uncomfortable and potentially lead to pressure ulcers.

Kings Fund beds are used mainly in hospitals although, on rare occasions, they are provided as nursing equipment in a domestic environment if space permits. Hospital beds are heavy and the risks of delivering and installing the bed will prohibit use in many situations. To help prevent the occupant from sliding down either in a sitting or lying position the bed can be angled backwards by 3° or 4°. Making this adjustment can be very hazardous, as the foot end of the bed needs to be lifted and lowered manually. It is preferable to use a bed with an electrically controlled tilting facility or a variable posture bed with a knee break. Some domestic-type beds have these features.

These can be adjusted to change the shape or profile of the bed according to the needs of the individual. Users can adjust the bed so that they remain in a comfortable sitting position as their knees are being raised to form a break. Four- or five- section beds tend to be more comfortable than those with three sections. For further information about variable posture beds, see the section ‘For people who need help to sit up or lie down in bed’

Mattress inclinators or pillow lifters with a knee break that raise the person’s knees will sometimes help to stop him/her sliding down the bed when sitting up. For further information about this type of equipment, see the section ‘For people who need help to sit up or lie down in bed’

These consist of a reinforced strap with a loop on the end. The person hooks his/her leg through the loop and then physically lifts the loop up onto the bed. However, the person concerned must have the strength, dexterity and the sitting balance to carry out the task. Some people use the crook neck of a walking stick or a looped webbing strap to perform the same task.

These are powered devices that attach to the bed frame and require the user to sit on the edge of the bed with his/her feet on the floor in front of the device. They work on the principle of a platform that raises through an arc of 90°, lifting the legs of the user to a position just beyond the horizontal, level with the mattress. From this position the user can slide his/her legs off the platform and onto the bed.

• Some use a compressor to fill an air sack which, as it inflates, raises the platform. However, many of these compressors make a noise like a vacuum cleaner and may be disturbing.
• Both types are controlled by a handset, which either has two separate switches or a rocker switch.

Most people need to move or turn regularly in bed, either just for comfort or to prevent pressure ulcers from forming.

Some people may find that the use of slippery nightwear or bedding such as satin pyjamas or sheets, combined with pulling on strategically placed grab rails or handles, may help them turn over or be assisted to turn over more easily.

These can be used, with or without a pressure relief mattress, to reposition the user so that he/she may not have to be turned. By altering the profile of the bed the position of the user and weight distribution will be changed. This may be sufficient to prevent pressure ulcers from forming.

If the backrest is in a semi-reclined position, the person may be able to pull on a lifting pole and roll onto one side or the other independently to relieve buttock pressure. Alternatively, this could be done by bridging, i.e. by users lifting their bottom off the bed by pushing their feet down onto the mattress with bent knees.

The height of some variable posture beds is also adjustable, either manually or electrically. Carers can raise these beds without needing to stoop and bend when assisting people to turn.

These are mains powered hospital-type beds which will turn the user from side to side. Because of their size, they are not often used in a domestic situation. Most are controlled by the carer from a panel at the end of the bed or by foot controls. Some can be controlled independently by the person in bed, while others have an automated turning facility that carries out a turning cycle, for example every three to five minutes.

These can be used on top of a domestic bed and take the form of either a sectioned mattress which has an airbag under each side of the mattress that alternately inflates and deflates, or a turning sheet which moves around two rollers on a frame on either side of the bed. Both styles have the effect of turning the person from side to side. They can be controlled using a handset, or can be set to turn at pre-programmed times automatically.

It is advisable to use these units in conjunction with bed rails (cot sides), as they have no built-in side protection.

These are made of a length of material which has either been stitched to form a continuous roller or is folded in a similar way so that the slippery material on the surfaces inside will easily slide against each other.

The roller is placed across the bed and under the user who is lying flat on the bed with the open ends facing the head and feet. Once the roller is positioned some users find they can then turn independently. Alternatively, carers can assist the user by pulling on the top layer of the roller or by pulling on a correctly positioned handling sheet on top of the roller.

Before using a product like this, carers need to know not only how to position themselves correctly but also a safe technique, as bad posture and poor technique during these types of manoeuvre can lead to back pain or injury.

Two main sizes of roller are available: a small version (large cushion size) and a larger version (sleeping bag size). If the smaller, cushion sized roller is used, it is placed under the user’s shoulders and bottom. The larger, sleeping bag sized version is placed so that it extends from head to toe. When used for turning, the open ends of the rollers are always towards the head and foot end of the bed.

Some rollers are padded and can, occasionally, be left in position under the person; others are very thin and are nearly always removed after use. If a roller is left in position it is important to ensure the person will not accidentally slip out of bed.

High friction inserts are available to put in a roller to stop slipping. They are taken out when the roller is used again.

Sometimes two flat sliding sheets are used, one on top of another, instead of a roller. The advantage of this is that carers can use the sheets not only to assist turning but also to move the person up the bed and across it. Sometimes the flat sliding sheets are used in conjunction with a flat board, which bridges any gap to help transfer the person from one lying surface to another.

Some people find it difficult to get to the edge of the bed to swing their legs over the side. In order to move across the bed, a person must lift their bottom clear of the mattress surface. However, most people find their arms are not long enough to do this while in a seated position, particularly if they are well built, or the mattress is soft and allows their hands to sink down into it. A physiotherapist or occupational therapist may advise on a specific technique to use or, alternatively, the following equipment may help.

By profiling the bed into a sitting position, and by pulling on a strategically positioned grab rail or lifting pole, people may be able to take some of their body weight in order to raise themselves several centimetres from the bed, helping them to manoeuvre their bottom to the edge of the bed from where it may be easier to stand up.

For further details on variable posture beds, grab rails and lifting poles, see section ‘For people who need help to sit up or lie down in bed’.

If hand blocks are placed on either side of a person, they can, by pushing down on them, raise themselves several centimetres from the bed enabling them to change their position, e.g. move towards the edge of the bed.

Ensure that the blocks have a firm base and the handgrips are comfortable to hold.

The major difficulty encountered by some people when getting out of bed is standing up. Raising the height of the bed sometimes helps. It is possible to buy an extra high bed, or some beds have adjustable telescopic legs which enable the bed to be set at a specific height. However, in some cases it may be difficult to find a compromise between the optimum height for the carers who are helping with personal care or nursing activities, and a suitable height for the person so that he/she can sit on the edge of the bed with feet firmly on the floor. Height adjustable equipment may provide a solution. This is essential if one height is needed for getting out of bed and another for getting into it.

Bed leg raisers are placed under the legs to raise the height of the bed. This can make standing easier. However, once raised, the height of the bed is set and the problems mentioned before may sometimes still be encountered. For example, although the raised height helps a person to stand it is too high for them to sit safely on the edge of the bed and/or to lift their legs into bed.

Always ensure the bed is raised symmetrically, i.e. all the legs are raised equally. Raising one end of a domestic bed or not raising all its legs puts strain on the bed and it can collapse. Double beds can have four, six or eight legs.

Always ensure that the appropriate model of raiser is used for the bed leg, e.g. castor, square leg. The following are examples of types that are available:

• cylindrical plastic sleeves - the bed legs stand inside the sleeves. Different depth inserts can be put inside to alter the height of the bed;
• screw-in raisers - these screw in between the bed and the leg or castor;
• replacement raisers - existing bed legs or castors are removed and replaced by raisers. Screw or bayonet fittings are available;
• block raisers - cube shaped raisers with three sizes of circular recess on different sides, allowing for variation in leg size;
• wheeled raisers - fitted with castors to allow the bed to be moved.

These are placed underneath a standard domestic bed to convert it into an adjustable height bed. They have a powered mechanism controlled with a handset. This has either separate push button switches or a rocker switch. Elevating units require more space than the bed, as the scissor mechanism alters the position of the bed slightly as it elevates. Care should be taken that there is no wall-mounted obstruction to prevent the bed from moving vertically or that nothing can get trapped underneath as it is lowered.

Adjustable height beds can be powered manually or electrically. Manually operated beds usually have a hydraulic mechanism that raises and lowers the bed. This movement may feel jerky as the bed rises. The control is often a foot pump at the side of the bed. It cannot be operated by the user.

Some electric beds can be controlled by the occupant. This means he/she can select the most suitable height for getting in and getting out of the bed, sometimes with little or no assistance.

• They are usually controlled with a handset, which may either have two separate switches, or a rocker switch.

Other controls are possible, such as remote control or voice activated.

• Although powered by a motor, most are quiet or almost silent.
• Care should be taken that there is no wall- mounted obstruction to prevent the bed from moving vertically or that nothing can get trapped underneath the bed when it is lowered.
• Many adjustable height beds do not stop automatically if there is an object underneath and there is a risk of entrapment.
• Height adjustable domestic and hospital variable posture beds are available. The domestic beds tend to be smaller with a wooden or padded headboard and are more suitable for the home environment. The hospital versions are usually larger with a metal frame and look more clinical.

If a person is unable to take any of their weight through their legs, advice should ALWAYS be sought from a therapist as to the safest method of assisting or moving them out of bed. Most people are not strong enough to lift someone (including many children) from the bed onto a chair/wheelchair/commode. Equipment which will do the lifting instead is available or sometimes the person may be able to slide across.

• There are mobile or overhead hoists and slings designed to lift people. Mobile hoists lift efficiently but are quite difficult to move especially in confined spaces and across carpets. Overhead hoists lift well and have the advantage of making transferring easier. They have an overhead track which the person moves along sitting or lying in a sling.
• Sometimes small handling equipment is used to help people move in bed. Advice should be sought from a therapist on the safest handling technique and the equipment to use.

Equipment such as hand blocks or lifting poles can enable some people to lift part of their own weight whilst the carer is assisting them to move. This reduces the possibility that carers will be subjected to strain and back injury.

• Items which raise the height of the bed, e.g. bed raisers, adjustable height beds, enable a carer to assist a person at a height which reduces the risk of back injury from bending over.
• Adjustable height beds (powered and manually operated) enable different carers to select different heights. Powered beds are easier to operate. Manually operated beds are controlled by a foot pedal or winding handle, which is situated on one or both sides of the bed. If the bed is positioned against the wall, ensure that the pedal or handle is on the accessible side. Both the pumping or winding action is quite hard work for the carer and the bed occupant can have quite a jerky ride.

Wall-fixed or free-standing hoists have a vertical mast which is either attached to the wall or fitted into a stand. A boom from the mast reaches out over the bed and swings sideways through 90° to enable a transfer from a bed onto a chair or wheelchair. The hoist has a powered lift (mains or battery) but the swinging sideways movement is manually operated. A user must be capable of pushing against the bed or pulling on a grab handle to move sideways independently.

Some of the hoisting mechanisms are portable and can be used on wall-fixed swinging frames in different locations, either for one person or for a number of different people.

An overhead track hoist is sometimes the best solution in a domestic situation. If the layout of the house permits, it is possible to fix a track (straight, jointed or curved) so that the person can move him/herself (or is assisted to move) in a sling from the bed directly to another room in the house.

• An electric traversing system enables the user or carer to control both horizontal and the vertical movements effortlessly. Some users can manage totally independently with the appropriate handset and slings.
• A manual traversing system requires the carer to push the person along the track in the sling.
• Care must be taken because the traversing mechanism may be noisy, especially if it is fitted in a flat where other residents are living above.
• Structural alterations may need to be made such as strengthening the ceiling or adapting the top of the door frame to take the track.
• A wide range of slings is available to meet the needs of the user.

A small mobile hoist can be used for many handling tasks in and around the home. With the wide range of slings available, it can cater for many different needs and abilities.

Remember, mobile hoists are designed as lifting and transferring aids not for transporting. If the person needs to be moved from one place to another, an overhead track hoist or specifically designed wheeled equipment should be used, as this reduces the risk of injury to the carer.

If a hoist is to be used around the bed area:

• make sure there is sufficient space under the bed for the chassis and wheels of the hoist;
• if raisers are recommended to raise the bed for hoist access, ensure (if the increased height would make existing transfers more difficult) that they are only fitted when the hoist is available for use;
• is there room to move the hoist away from the bed with the person sitting in the sling? It is preferable to leave enough space to pull the hoist straight back and wheel a wheelchair or sanichair in under the person to avoid the carers having to turn the hoist and risk twisting their backs;
• will the furniture need rearranging to make sufficient space to manoeuvre the hoist?
• can the hoist be pushed easily over the floor covering? Thick pile carpet and thresholds can be difficult;
• if the height of the bed has been raised (e.g. by adding an extra mattress for pressure relief) can the hoist still lift the person so that his/her bottom clears the mattress surface?
• if the person falls, will the hoist reach down far enough to lift him/her from the floor?
• where will the hoist be stored when not in use?

These are smooth surfaced boards, tapered at either end to assist sideways transfers. They can be used independently or with help to slide in a sitting 

position from the chair onto a wheelchair. It is easiest if the mattress surface and the seat height are at the same level.

Curved transfer boards are useful when transferring onto chairs with fixed armrests, as they make it possible to transfer around them.

Some boards have additional transfer systems incorporated. One board has a transfer disc which moves within a central slot; another has an integral roller which the person sits on and slides across the board.

Similar transfers can be made using a low friction roller and a rigid, padded bridging device.

These are made up of two circular discs that rotate against one another. They are useful for someone who can semi-stand or who can use a board as a bridge (but finds it difficult to turn, step or adjust his/her feet) to transfer directly from bed to chair. Users place their feet on the disc and, as the transfer is made, the disc swivels.

A handling belt worn by the person can make it easier for a carer to help guide him/her around in a semi-standing position or across the board.

It is difficult to support someone on a turning disc. If support is needed ask for an occupational therapist or physiotherapist to assess the situation. One possible solution is a turning disc with a frame which the person can hold onto.

Many of the solid discs use ball bearings in the swivel mechanism, which may result in fast turning that can be difficult to control. However, this may be useful when a heavier person is moving, as their weight sometimes prohibits discs without ball bearings from turning on one another.

Some discs are made of two flexible fabric discs with a slip-resistant outer surface for standing on, and a slippery inner surface. These can be used to move the feet in the same way as the solid discs, and can also be placed under the bottom of a person to help him/her swivel round. Because they fold up, they are easier to carry around than the solid discs.

Handling belts are usually made from webbing and are adjusted to fit around the waist. They usually have vertical and/or horizontal handholds to provide the carer with a firm and comfortable grip. Handling belts are used to help guide the person whilst he/she is standing up or sliding across a board and to help give the person more confidence. It is unsafe practice to use them as lifting belts - i.e. when a carer pulls on a handling belt to take most or all of a person’s weight to help him/her to stand.

All of the following are available with integral waterproof features - however, methods of waterproofing may be noisy to lie on or may cause excess sweating:

• mattresses and mattress covers;
• duvet covers;
• pillowcases.

These narrow drawsheets are laid across the middle of the bed to reduce the risk of soiling the bed clothes. They are long enough to be tucked in on either side of the bed.

These pads, which are laid on the top of bedclothes, are designed to absorb urine.

These are designed to help children and adults who wet the bed to develop bladder control. Most consist of a sheet or pad with a stitched-in sensitive electrode, which is placed underneath a draw sheet. The sensor is connected to an alarm unit, which will be triggered as soon as the sensor mat detects even a few drops of urine. Audible and vibrating alarms are available. For further information contact the Bladder & Bowel Foundation, a national organisation which provides information on bladder and bowel continence problems, or ERIC (Education and Resources for Improving Childhood Continence) a national charity which provides advice and information on nocturnal enuresis or bedwetting. ERIC has a telephone helpline as well as a range of bedding protection and enuresis alarms .

Choosing the right bed so that the spine is properly supported can help to relieve back pain. BackCare and the National Bed Federation produce a range of factsheets on buying a bed, with information on the different types of mattresses that are commonly available.

As a short-term solution, if the person's bed is too soft or sagging, a bed board can be placed under a mattress to make it firmer. However, this will only work if the bed base is soft or sprung, i.e. if the base is already solid it will not make any difference. If a mattress has become too soft to lie on comfortably, it is usually better to buy a new mattress. It is advisable to seek advice from a physiotherapist before using a bed board.

Most manufacturers of domestic beds make firm mattresses, which are often called orthopaedic although there is no national standard controlling the criteria.

The user should always try out the mattress before buying it because what is comfortable for one person may be very uncomfortable for another. It is advisable to visit a showroom with a range of beds and mattresses. Do not be afraid to lie on each bed and test it for as long as you can.

Companies who offer to make you an orthopaedic bed designed to suit your particular needs should be approached with caution. It may be a complete success, but remember that, because it is a one-off, you cannot try it out first. Companies have been known to claim, even if the bed is not comfortable, that it has been made specifically for you and that they cannot sell it to someone else.

Remember we spend at least one third of our lives in bed - this is a lot of time to suffer an uncomfortable bed.

These are designed to support the bedclothes at the foot end of the bed, so that a person can turn over more easily in bed and their legs and feet are protected if the weight of the bedclothes is causing undue pain or pressure. However, their presence may cause cold legs and feet.

Part of the frame runs between the mattress and the bed base so that the frame remains stable.

Bed grab handles are designed to aid a person getting in and out of bed and moving around whilst in bed. It is unsafe to use them as bed rails. Bed rails (cotsides) are designed to help prevent a person from rolling out of bed accidentally. It is essential that bed rails are suitable for the person who is using them and compatible with the particular beds being used. Most bed rails for domestic beds have bars which run across and between the bed and the mattress for greater security.

Serious injuries have occurred from the use of bed rails. The prescribing, selecting, fitting and maintenance of bed rails needs considerable care to avoid injury. The Medical Devices Agency (now within the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) issued a bulletin in July 2001 - Advice on the safe use of bed rails.

The bulletin recommends that alternative methods of bed care/management should be considered first, such as:

• tucked in sheets and blankets;
• variable height beds used in the lowered position (N.B. there are beds with an extra low height as a feature);
• soft cushioning on the floor to break a person’s fall;
• alarm systems (person, movement or pressure operated) to alert carers that a person has moved from his/her normal position;
• body positioning devices (these help to position a person with specific clinical needs, e.g. someone who has contractures).
• bed rails should never be used to restrain a person who may attempt to climb over them. They risk falling from a greater height;
• ensure the bed rail is suitable for the size of the occupant. Standard bed rails usually suit someone over the size of an average 12-year-old and are unsuitable for a smaller adult, young child or baby;
• care should be taken that the person does not injure themselves on hard metal frames and that heads or limbs do not become trapped by them. Limbs, for example, can be trapped in large spaces between bars, in the gap between the end of rail and headboard, between the mattress and lowest rail of the device or in the gap as a result of the weight of a patient compressing the mattress. Profiling beds need checking for dangerous gaps in all positions;
• some bed rails are provided with net sides to reduce the risk of impact injury. Some companies supply padding to go over rails. Do not assume the netting or padding will reduce the risk of being trapped. Also, some covers are not air-permeable and may present a risk of suffocation;
• take care if a mattress overlay is used or the mattress is changed. If the bed rail is too low (because of the extra height of the overlay) the occupant can fall over the top; softer surfaces can increase the risk of entrapment between mattress edge and rail; some mattresses are too light to hold the bed rail in place and there is the risk that the rail, mattress and occupant might fall. Check whether manufacturers and suppliers can provide secure fastenings and extra height bed rails.

Standard rails have safety catches on the outside. These can prevent an otherwise independent person from getting out of bed and going to the toilet.

However, a unique model is available which serves as a safety rail, can be used independently and also helps raise the person’s legs. An air filled platform first moves through 90° to bring the platform to the horizontal, lifting his/her legs. The user then moves the legs across into bed. The platform can be raised a further 90° to form a barrier to prevent him/her falling out of bed.

Pressing a button on the handset will deflate the platform to allow the user to get out of bed.

One solution considered to prevent accidental falls or to deter wandering is for the person to sleep on a mattress on the floor. It is very difficult to care for a person at this level. The risks from moving and handling and the loss of independence need to be balanced against the perceived benefits.

Movement monitors are available which alert a carer that a person is getting out of bed. They have a pressure sensitive plate, which is placed under the mattress and will set off an alarm when the person gets out of bed.

Floor-standing bookrests are available for people who are lying flat and are therefore unable to hold a book. The height of a vertical stand adjusts telescopically and a horizontal arm swivels towards and away from the user. 

The book can be placed face downwards and can be angled to a convenient position for the user. On some models the book has to be removed each time the page needs turning. It may be possible to do this independently, although some people will require help.

A powered fully automated device controlled by switches is available which both holds the book in a downwards-facing position and turns the pages.

These enable a person who is lying flat or is unable to bend their neck, to read or watch television. They can be worn over normal glasses.

For people who display no danger signs such as reddening of the skin, a mattress that provides comfort alone may be all that is needed.

This may be quite sufficient although it should be checked every four to six months to make sure that the foam has not deteriorated.

Silicone fibre mattresses, made from hollow cored siliconised polyester fibre, feel rather like a thick duvet. Flame retardant and washable, they can be used as a comfort mattress or for people at low risk from pressure ulcers. The resilience and softness of the mattresses may vary.

Sheepskins do not relieve pressure but can be helpful when used in conjunction with other pressure relieving support systems because wool fibres are naturally resilient and so help to reduce shear forces. They also help to maintain low humidity and temperature by absorbing water vapour and heat. Sheepskins come in three main forms.

This wool fleece on its own leather backing is the most comfortable and reduces shear forces most efficiently. However, great care must be taken when washing, and the fleece must be regularly brushed so that the fibres do not become matted.

These skins are less resilient than the natural sheepskin and therefore do not reduce shear forces as efficiently. Also, they do not absorb heat and moisture so readily. However, they can be washed more easily and effectively.

Because it has been removed from its natural backing, the pile on this sheepskin tends to be shorter than on a natural sheepskin and is therefore slightly less resilient. However, this type of skin is easier to wash, although it still needs regular brushing to prevent matting.

The beanbag on the underside of the tray moulds to the shape of the lap to provide a more stable surface than a traditional tray. The trays are available with raised edges, recesses for plates and cups and slip-resistant tray mats. They come in a choice of designs and some have detachable beanbag bases for washing.

These are high-rimmed trays with two legs and a slip-resistant tray mat. They are designed to be stabilised by the legs, the width of which can be adjusted to fit snugly on either side of the person's thighs. The legs fold flat when not in use.

These are much smaller than bed tables, and are less sturdy. The cantilever tabletop is supported on one side only so that the table can be positioned close to the bed. Those without castors have a shallower base and may fit under a bed with only limited space underneath, although they are more difficult to manoeuvre into position. Some have the option of a tilting top for supporting a book, newspaper, or writing paper at an angle.

These are like hospital bed tables. They span the width of the bed with the legs resting on the floor on either side. They all have a tubular metal frame supporting a tabletop.

A wide range of book stands are available. Most are designed to hold books, although a few are large enough for magazines and newspapers. Some are floor standing and their height and angle can be adjusted; others are designed to rest on a table.

These are useful for people who are unable to turn the pages of a book. Two types of turner are available - a simple stick with a rubber tip used in the hands or mouth, or a powered fully automated device controlled by switches which both holds the book and turns the pages.

These can be draped across the bed and provide storage pockets in which to keep bits and pieces, such as books, knitting, TV controls.

This provides a method of securing items such as mirrors and cups in a convenient position.

We are three adults and want to stay in a 4 or 5 star hotel for around $200 to $250 dollars per night in November. Any ideas?

We visited that outdoor market and I would not choose to stay in the Gamma Delta Hotel. I didn't like the location at all...only for shopping.

Go to http://www.yeego.com and put in your dates and 3 adults. I've used Yeego several times with no problems and much better hotel prices than other sites or even with booking directly at the hotel.

Here we go again... :(

I will pay $100 to anybody who makes it from that hotel lobby to any corner of Red Square under 15 minutes using the metro.

Good luck trying to find a 4 /5 star in Moscow for $200-250. You will need to cough up the extra dough (or Kachipuri)

why dont you stay in an apartment. You should easily get a very good apartment in the center with cooking and washing facilities and which will accomodate 4 people

There is a lot of construction going on around the Aquamarine, which makes it hard to find, but the rooms were quiet.

The third person bed tends to be a single

Hotel Cosmos and Hotel RMBD do this within your budget, both within 4-5 stops to the centre.

Hotel Katerina Park gets some good reviews too. This is located south of the centre - that's fine, but not quite so, if you are flying in or out of Sheremetyevo which is in the north (41Km). Can do it but be aware of that.

Another option is to look at this hotel group. Several options that may satisfy your preferance. All are reasonably located

http://www.maximahotels.com/hotels.htm

The rates specified, you may be able to better on a booking site.

The Marriot Group have what you want but not at your price.

I stayed at two hotels- Holiday Inn Moscow - Suschevsky and the one in Lesnaya. Both can accomodate up to three people and the rooms are decent, clean and reasonably priced. (About 4000 RUR).

View when driving from Yelisovo airport to Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky

The first myth I want to disprove is that getting to Kamchatka is extremely costly. It’s not. Going between February and April, a return flight from Moscow can be had for 11,000 roubles (US$380 / £220). Not bad for 18 hours total flying time. In summer the flights are more expensive but still, if you book them a few months in advance, can be got for 16,000 roubles return.

It’s true, many people will tell you that March and April are the worst months to visit because the snow is starting to melt and everything’s a bit sloshy and dirty in settlements. On the other hand, these are great months for the independent traveller! During winter zimniki (temporary winter roads made of compacted snow or simply frozen river surfaces) open up all over Kamchatka, granting access to communities that in summer are totally isolated. Hitch hiking is possible right from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky to the very north of the peninsula. Alternatively, vehicles can be hired in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky from tour firms. Also in the winter or early spring months places can be reached that are away even from the zimniki, either by snowmobile or by the use of cross country skis. For example, Klyuchevskaya Sopka, Eurasia’s largest active volcano, can be accessed from the village of Klyuchi without the need even for a guide by a traveller with a pair of cross country skis. Bears do not wake up until mid-April so this is not a danger, but bears almost never attack anyone anyway.

The main disadvantages of winter travel in Kamchatka are that it is cold, there is no greenery and there are no bears, which some people come here especially to see.

The second myth I’d like to dispel is that travel around the peninsula requires hiring a helicopter. As mentioned above, in winter you can get almost anywhere by hitch hiking. I even hitched a lift with bear hunters on snowmobiles from their village to a reindeer herder encampment 100km away. In summer snowmobiles are replaced by horses, and transport is reduced from long distance ice-road journeys to irregular inter-settlement all-terrain vehicle trips. Hitch hiking is possible on these all-terrain vehicles though.

Throughout the year there are fairly expensive public helicopter flights to all settlements which are nevertheless much cheaper than hiring your own helicopter. There is also one permanent, year-round dirt road leading halfway up the peninsula. Some distance after the town of Milkovo, about 350km north of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky , it forks. The right fork leads to Klyuchi , site of Eurasia’s largest active volcano, and further to the port town of Ust-Kamchatsk. The left fork leads to the indigenous Even villages of Anavgay and Esso. Daily buses go from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky to Klyuchi , Anavgay and Esso, costing about 1000 roubles each way. In winter a zimnik passable by lorries heads north from Anavgay 36 hours to the otherwise isolated town of Palana. From Palana more zimniki head further north to yet more isolated settlements. From the peninsula’s very northernmost settlements there are even EXTREMELY irregular snowmobile and all-terrain vehicle connections with Magadan Oblast and Chukotka. Another zimnik, only passable by all-terrain vehicle, heads from Anavgay to the village of Ust-Khayryuzovo on Kamchatka’s west coast.

The best deals for your holidays

If I book Flight + Hotel, when will I receive my travel documents?

Once the booking is confirmed you will receive a confirmation e-mail. The voucher for the hotel will be also sent by email plus the vouchers for any other services (car hire, transfer, travel insurance) if booked. Please note that no flight tickets are sent due to most airlines using e-tickets. You only need to print our confirmation email where the Airline`s booking reference appears and take it with you to the airport with your ID/Passport documents. Important: Some Low Cost Airlines (Ryanair, Easyjet, Wizzair, Blueair and others) now request all passengers to check-in online and print the Boarding Cards before departure through their corresponding websites. Failure to do so, these airlines will charge you a supplement at the airport.
