How An Opera Bed Can Help with Nerve & Neurological Conditions
Here’s what features to consider to reduce fall risks, ease repositioning, and improve comfort.
1. Set the perfect bed height with the high-low feature
Beds with height-adjustment let you raise and lower the full bed (choose from floor-level to waist level height)
- Improves safety and ease when getting in or out of bed — ideal for users with muscle weakness or tremors (e.g. Parkinson’s, MND).
- Allows carers to assist without bending or strain, reducing injury risk during personal care (e.g. dementia or stroke recovery).
What type of beds include this feature: Opera
profiling beds
2. Change Position Easily for Proper Support
Independently adjust the head and leg sections to create tailored positions
- Supports upright sitting to aid eating, spinal support and breathing — helpful for reduced head or body control (e.g. after a stroke or with MND).
- Elevating legs improves blood flow and reduces pressure injury risk — essential for users with limited movement or spinal cord injury.
What type of beds include this feature: Opera profiling beds and Adjustable Beds
3. Ease Pressure with Auto-Regression Backrest
As the backrest raises, the mattress platform glides backwards to reduce pressure on the abdomen and lower back
- Prevents sliding and shearing when sitting up which helps with fragile skin or limited mobility (e.g. spinal cord injury or post-stroke).
- Improves comfort and digestion by keeping the body in a more natural seated position — beneficial for muscle weakness or coordination issues (e.g. Parkinson’s, MND).
What type of beds include this feature: Opera profiling beds
4. Make Transfers Easier with A Rotating Chair Bed
The bed smoothly rotates and transitions into a seated position at the touch of a button
- Supports safe and independent bed exits for users with reduced balance, tremors, or muscle stiffness (common in Parkinson’s and MS).
- Reduces the need for manual handling or hoisting, making everyday transfers more dignified and less tiring.
What type of beds include this feature: Opera Rotating Chair Beds
