Is this bed high enough to use for my mother who recently had a stroke?

This bed is slightly higher than a cot, and slightly lower than the average twin-size bed.

I believe so. We picked this bed rail because of the large 'bunky board' styling and the fact that the rails didn't go to the floor. The body weight anchors the handrail when in use. Ours is used under a top mattress only, not under a box spring, and it is fine with a 200 pound patient. It was super easy to put in place, too.

Hi Mary Ann..... I purchased this product for my mom last year for her use while being in a nursing home post stroke, the staff there loved the efficacy of the product, it was especially helpfull for my mom's circulation. I didn't have need of support in the use of the product so I can't respond to that concern. If I had purchased a bed with the same features, then it would have cost $2400.00. Poarch Sledd

I think she will be fine in this one. It is quite sturdy for the reasonable price tag. We use an extra cushion and padded foot rest. My mother is in it most of her day. Hope it works out well for you all.

At the lowest setting this would be perfect for your Mom. However, the unit itself is heavy. You will need to ether keep in in one place or have someone able to easily lift 30+ plus pounds to move it from one location to another. It is also a bit bulky. It is tricky to lift by the pedals because they rotate.

My mom is 5 ft tall & 90 yrs old. She is able to get in & out of chair pretty easily. The arms are wide & she uses them to stand up. I do put a cushion behind her back to make it a little more comfy. I love that I can lower the back so she's able to nap comfortably.

It's absolutely fine for adults. Keep in mind, I only have the headboard, not the bed itself, but I use the headboard on my regular bed. It's a little wobbly but basically fine.

The steps are high. I would not recommend it for an older person with limited mobility.

I think it would be a perfect bed for her. Not sure what issues the user "angel" had but I love it. There are a lot of pieces to assemble and it is time consuming but easy. The most important tip is to not fully tighten any bolts until you have it all together. It will save you time and frustration.

I think you could because the base of the bed sits pretty high up from the ground. In fact you probably would have a significant space between the trundle and the bed I bet.

No, unless you squish the lower one and set the upper bed to its highest setting, at which time it will be too high for sitting. (6" is even a bit high for sitting)

This bed is plenty high. I doubt you would want to stack them! This is an awesome product and so comfortable!

It worked fine for me following a total hip replacement. It is very firm and five inches high.

absolutely. that is why i got it. I wanted something that i did not need a boxspring and the bed would still be normal height. And I wanted something that was not expensive. This is perfect. Room for storage underneath.

This will work for you! my mother was shorter than 5'....just don't try to put it together, have someone else do it!

Absolutely! Great for my Mother (89 yr old), 5' max, 120lbs. Works beautifully.

I would say absolutely. My Mum is about 180 pounds and has no problem. She is shorter, but the legs are adjustable for a taller person.
