Bed Hand Blocks - Pair

My Mum says they make getting out of bed easy

Wasn't sure these would do the job first look at them thought ìf they don't help can smooth the plaster out with them .I've a 3ft 6 " bed but couldn't get any further than first 12" ins which makes it a hazard for falling out looking at them thoughts were how can these possibly help but for the first time in the 3 years I've had the bed I was able to move into the middle, you will need a bit of strength in your arms and you might find that positioning them at an angle to suit you will help , need a bit of trying out ,I found one was also a help and positioning my hand below the handle also worked ,if anyone has week arms I find YuTube Bob & Brad free videos wonderful for easy exercises for strengthening any body parts. Something else just a thought , if your mattress is very soft try a hard cover book under them ( the blocks) or a thin block of wood to give support.

I bought these not knowing too much about them. I have been desperately looking for aids to help my mum and myself, care for my 98 year old Nan, who lives with us.I’ve been bewildered by the lack of equipment for people in their twilight years, with most equipment stating it’s not to be used by people over a certain age, or unsteady on their feet.But what about those who are over 90 and still crave a little independence?When I ordered these, I thought they would be rubbish, but when my Nan used them for the first time that evening, we were overjoyed at seeing her being able to position herself in bed, and it helps us too (I have a chronic illness and my mum needs a hip op, so we struggle with the lifting of my Nan)These aids mean that my Nan can push herself up onto her bed, and although we still help lift her legs into bed, she can position herself into a comfy spot, and she thinks they are brilliant.We are still using trial and error for the best way to use them with getting out of bed, sometimes one is enough, or we change the positioning, but the important thing for me, is that my Nan likes them, can use them easily, and they don’t slip!We haven’t tried them on the chair yet, but I think they would also be really fab for her there too.Pros:- Gives independence back- Makes bedtime easier- Doesn’t slip- Great size- Sloping handle for comfort- Lightweight- Can take anywhere- Easy cleanCons- Harder to use if your arm isn’t fully extended if you don’t have much strength- CostWe always support my Nan even when she’s using these, as she is 98, but I wish I’d had these for myself, when my illness was at its worst, they are absolutely brilliant!

This item does help my dad hitch up the bed but I feel they are expensive for what they are.

For anyone with limited mobility and strength in their upper body these bed blocks are ideal .they help to get in and out of bed and can be used to get up and down from a sofa.They can also assist you in getting up from a dinning chair by placing them on the table and pushing up.They are well made and and easy to clean and certainly have improved my life!

This has made getting in and out of bed and turning in bed so much easier for my mother. Definitely money well spent.

These were essential after both of my difficult C-Sections (used whilst in hospital, I didn't buy them but wish I had some once I returned home). Fast forward 4 years later, and I'm so pleased to have found them here as I intend giving them to my mum who's about to have stomach surgery, as I know they'll help her too.

I am 90, and pushing myself upright to my pillows, for a good read, all feet and hands and squirming, always a challenge, so I liked the idea. Tried THEM and was ready to send THEM back, persevered a couple of days, and made up my mind to return them. Then I tried one paddle on its own R hand, using my L hand as a sort of guide, and it worked, suddenly had a powerful right hand, together with heels, it made it very much easier. Using 2 at the same time is like some sort of difficult gymnastic exercise, need very long strong arms. One gives you genuine power, you can lean your body into it, and push, and you move. You have to buy two, hence the 4*.

Prodotto preso per mia madre anziana con poche forze e con problemi motori, ma non è stata in grado di usarlo, nè ha percepito che fosse di aiuto nell'aiutarla a alzarsi dal letto.Pertanto non posso dire che il prodotto sia risultato pratico come descritto .Prodotto messo nel cassetto.
