For patients with specific needs, specialized therapeutic beds, such as pressure-relieving or low-air-loss beds, play a vital role in preventing pressure ulcers and promoting skin integrity. These beds often feature advanced pressure adjustment systems that redistribute a patient's weight, reducing the risk of bedsores. They are particularly beneficial for patients with limited mobility or those who are bedridden for extended periods.

In today’s healthcare landscape, the trend is moving towards sustainable and eco-friendly furniture options. Hospitals are beginning to invest in furniture that not only meets the functional needs of patients and staff but also adheres to environmental standards. These options can include furniture made from recycled materials or items that are easier to maintain and clean, thereby reducing the hospital's carbon footprint.

Patients who are bedridden or have restricted movement often experience discomfort and are at a higher risk of developing bedsores. These sores occur when sustained pressure on the skin restricts blood flow to specific areas. Regular repositioning of patients throughout the day reduces this pressure and enhances blood circulation. Furthermore, turning patients can also help with pulmonary hygiene, decreasing the risk of respiratory infections.
