Not sure which bed? Let us pick it for you

Seven questions about the person who will be using it. No medical terms. At the end you get one bed out of the whole range, and the reasons it is the one.

Roughly how much does the person weigh?

This decides more than anything else. Every bed has a limit that counts the mattress and bedding as well as the person, so we work from the honest number and keep a margin back.

How does she or he get out of bed today?
Is someone caring for them every day?
Is there a real chance of them falling out of bed?
Will a partner share the bed with them?
Are they six feet tall or more?
Do they need extra room to turn or shift side to side?
