- Bed rails or low beds. If your bed is of average height, you will sleep more comfortably and safely knowing that you can’t roll out of bed by installing rails along the sides. These also help you to change position in bed and get out of your bed. Another choice is a low bed and these are popular and plentiful right now.

Seniors not only want to be safe in their bedrooms, they also want to be comfortable. A sturdy bedside table with a phone nearby is not only helpful but essential. Linens and blankets that are the right weight and soft on the skin help seniors to sleep more comfortably. Make sure pillows are the proper thickness and drapes or blinds keep the room dark enough. Since seniors wake easily, a quiet room is necessary. Invest in a white noise machine or play relaxing music at a low level to aid in sleep.
