5 Reasons Why Croyde Fold Away Beds Warrant the Investment

Choosing the right fold-away bed for your hospital ward is an important task. Find out why the Croyde Fold Away Bed is worth the investment:

   Ease of Cleaning:

Choosing a folding bed with easy cleaning in mind is essential. The Croyde Fold Away Bed’s flat base allows quick access for hospital wipes and solutions, whereas mesh-based fold-away beds are hard to clean and pose infection risks.  The Croyde Fold Away Bed is designed for hospital use unlike spring-based beds that can cause injury and infection risks.

   Durability/Longevity:

A fold away bed that is built to last can save you money in the long term.  The Croyde Fold Away Bed is made out of reinforced materials to create a sturdy yet comfortable sleeping surface.  Fold away beds with mesh frames and springs have a much larger chance of breaking, requiring staff assistance and wasting staff time. 

   Ease of Use:

A fold away bed should be able to be set up without the need for a member of staff.  The Croyde Fold Away Bed has an easy to understand two-step set up process that any patient can understand.  Many other fold away beds are spring loaded, resulting in difficulty when set up by an individual, so staff would have to be on hand to help.

   Size and Space:

When folded, a fold away bed needs to take up a very little amount of storage space.  The Croyde Fold Away Bed has a standing width of only 38cm, making it one of the most compact fold away beds on the market.  If a fold away bed does not fold compactly, there are no benefits compared to a standard bed on wheels. 

   Ease of Movement:

Folding beds must be easy to steer from storage to ward without risk of falling over.  Some folding beds on the market have significantly smaller castors placed centrally that could cause a bed steer incorrectly and topple over.  The Croyde Fold Away Bed has large castors with brakes placed on each corner for maximum stability when moved.
