Over bed and over chair tables are ideal to enjoy meals, drinks and hobbies from a bed or armchair.
Over bed and over chair tables are specially shaped so they can slide under or around a bed or armchair whilst the table top sits over your legs. They provide a stable surface for someone to eat, drink, work or enjoy a hobby from and reduce the need to bend forward as you would to reach a standard table.
An over bed and over chair table has many different uses and can be a great investment for anyone spending time indoors. Below we explore the range of tables available at Healthcare pro and the different features they offer.
An over bed or over chair table with wheels doesn’t need to be lifted, which can be especially important if the table is going to be regularly transported to different areas of the home. The Wheeled Over Bed/Chair Table includes a height adjustable L shaped frame that is ideal for different beds and chairs around the home. Wheeled over bed and over chair tables often also feature brakes to secure them in place and keep them stable when they are in use.
The Divan Over Bed Table has an L shaped frame which can be adjusted to the most suitable height and fit under an armchair or divan bed to offer an accessible table. The table top surface can be angled to enjoy different hobbies and has two raised edges to avoid items falling off.
Another table with a tilting action is the NRS Adjustable Tilting Over Bed & Over Chair Table. This table is both height and width adjustable and features four locking castors, making it ideal to wheel around the home and secure in place when being used. The table top is split into a large central surface, which can be tilted to suit different requirements, and two side surfaces which will stay flat – perfect if someone wants to keep items, such as a drink, close at hand. These side surfaces can also be removed to reduce the width of the table if it needs to be used in a smaller area. The adjustable tilting table is suitable for single beds, wheelchairs and armchairs.
Some over bed and over chair tables feature legs on either side which make them suitable for single beds and wheelchairs, as well as armchairs. The Adjustable Curved Overbed/Chair Table has a curved profile so the user can bring it closer to their body and have a comfortable space to rest their arms. This table is both height and width adjustable to suit many requirements and its smooth laminated top with raised edges prevents items falling off the back and sides.
