What should be paid attention to in the decoration of the living room and bedroom of the elderly

1. Floor: Non-slip flooring should be selected, and keels should be laid under the floor as much as possible to increase the elasticity of the floor. It is not only beneficial to protect the joints and reduce the damage to the joints caused by the shock when walking, but also, in the event of a fall, reduce stress.

2. Carpet: It is best to lay a thick carpet on the floor, which is non-slip on the one hand, and on the other hand, it plays a good role in shock absorption when the elderly fall, so as to avoid the occurrence of fractures to the greatest extent.

3. Furniture: Bed Choose a wide bed. Even if you sleep in a single bed, it is recommended to choose a bed with a width greater than 120 cm, preferably a bed with a width of 150 cm. The height of the bed box should ideally reach 40cm.

Mattress: Choose palm pads, etc., which have a certain hardness, which is conducive to the health of the spine, and avoid using soft spring beds. The soft spring pad does not lend force when the elderly stand up from the edge of the bed. A 10 cm thick quilt is the best place to put on the mattress.

Bed placement: The sides and feet of the bed should be at least 50cm wide with the wall or other furniture, so that the elderly can pass through and avoid falling.

2) Sofa Choose a sofa with a seat cushion higher than 45cm, preferably solid wood, with a backrest and armrests, and avoid using low, soft sofas. Avoid protrusions such as bars to reduce barriers to movement for the elderly.
