Walking is one of the most fundamental forms of exercise, serving as a cornerstone of physical health and an essential activity for many people. However, for individuals facing mobility challenges, obtaining adequate walking support can significantly impact their ability to engage in this simple yet vital form of movement. Walking support encompasses a range of aids and services designed to enhance the mobility and overall well-being of individuals of all ages.

Hospital beds for home use are considered durable medical equipment (DME). Medicare covers DME under Part B. Your hospital bed will need to meet a few conditions in order to be covered.

One of the primary functions of foam in hospital beds is pressure distribution. When patients are confined to a bed for long durations, they are at risk of developing pressure ulcers, commonly known as bedsores. These injuries occur when blood flow to the skin is restricted due to prolonged pressure. High-quality foam mattresses are designed to redistribute body weight evenly, minimizing pressure points and reducing the risk of skin breakdown. Various types of foam—such as memory foam, latex, and gel—are employed depending on the patient's specific comfort and medical requirements.
