Finding and choosing the right type of foldable bed or stretcher is very important, as there are many designs and styles which are available to buy. The main aspects which determine which one you choose is how comfortable it is, and how sturdy it is.

These beds are usually adjustable, meaning the height of the bed and also both the headrests and arm rests can be moved to the right height for those who use them. And because they can be folded away, they are ideal to keep at home should you have visitors, or require an additional bed for an unexpected guest.

It's also due to this, that business professionals offering physiotherapy and spa treatments also purchase these beds. They are light enough to be carried to appointments, and are also able to be stored in vehicles when they are travelling. When any of these professionals arrive at the clients home, they can set their foldable bed up, and perform the exercises or treatments offered easily.

It's not just due to their portability that these beds ( termed as camas plegables in spain) are popular too. Many non mobile professionals also feature these beds in their offices or places of work, as they can be adjusted to suit the height of the person providing the treatments, without causing back aches due to continuous bending.

The beds themselves are usually padded with leather, which makes them comfortable for the person laying upon them, and also easy to clean when not in use.

So when buying a foldable stretcher bed, what do you need to take into consideration, and how do you choose the right one? Here is a quick guide:

Base Material
High quality foldable beds ( camillas plegables in spanish )are very sturdy, however these usually come at a higher price. The frame of the bed will determine how sturdy and solid the bed is. The 2 materials which the base of the bed can be found in are wood or aluminum. A wooden base in many cases will be stronger than a frame built in aluminum, however the bed will also be a lot heavier, so if you take the bed out on a regular basis you will need to take this into consideration. However you may be able to also find a stronger metal framed bed too.

Bed Padding
The padding of the bed will determine how comfortable it is. For regular use, it is a good idea to buy one with plenty of padding of a good quality. Over time, the padding will wear down, and this can happen a lot quicker on cheaper beds.

Bed Accessories
Some beds will also come equipped with head and armrests which can be positioned at different heights or tilted. Not all beds offer this option, so make sure you choose the right one before spending any money.

If you are unsure on the quality of a particular bed, it is also a good idea to find online reviews of the manufacturer and the bed too. Testimonials from real people will help you determine whether the bed is suitable for your use.
