One of the most significant innovations in manual wheelchair design is the focus on user customization. Many companies now offer a range of adjustable features allowing users to tailor their wheelchairs according to personal preferences and needs. This includes adjustable seat depth, height, and backrest angle, which can greatly enhance comfort and support. By facilitating a personalized fit, these wheelchairs can minimize the risk of pressure sores and promote better posture, contributing to the overall health and well-being of the user.

Medicare does not consider all-electric hospital beds, premium or luxury beds medically necessary.

The weight limit for a standard hospital bed is about 400 to 600 pounds. Bariatric beds are designed to support people whose weight exceeds the limit of a standard hospital bed. They can usually support between 600 and 1,000 pounds. These beds are longer and wider and tend to cost more than standard hospital beds.
