Why Are Beds So High?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Comfort and style are the primary reasons. Thicker mattresses are more comfortable. A higher mattress connotes thickness as well as comfort. While individuals who use wheelchairs can adapt their home beds to suit their needs, the issue becomes more significant when it comes to accommodations like hotels.

 

 The ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act)  doesn't specifically address bed height in its regulations. Therefore, hotels aren't required or obligated to provide lower beds or transfer features for assistance. Kelly Narowski, an ADA expert and wheelchair user, explains the fundamental issue:

​

“There is nothing at all in the ADA regulations that mandates bed heights. So, what you often see are high beds and sometimes VERY high beds 28" up to 33". It's dangerous, and sometimes impossible, for some wheelchair users to get into these high beds. Conversely, people with higher wheelchairs may prefer higher beds, but I believe that people who like higher beds are in the minority. An ideal bed height range for most wheelchair users is 22-25" off the ground.” - Kelly Narowski, ADA Expert

  

While there are some regulations about beds, such as the requirement for at least 36 inches of free space on both sides and at the foot of the bed, the height can be as high or as low as the accommodation provider wants.  While the ADA covers the very basics, many gaps within the code exist that hinder the wheelchair traveler.              

 

​Core Materials In BedBoost Airlift

​​We can achieve exceptional rigidity due to a unique construction technology. The secret lies in using composite drop-stitch fibers, which connect the top and bottom layers with high-quality, industrial-grade PVC. When inflated to the recommended PSI, the fibers cause the air pressure to distribute evenly across the top and bottom surfaces, forming a hard, stable platform that is capable of supporting 300 lbs
