10 Ways to Improve Sleep Quality
For many people, getting a good night’s sleep is a huge challenge – and if you have a chronic illness, or are confined to bed for long periods of time, it can often seem virtually impossible to sleep well.

Medical Devices Regulation – What You Need To Know
Two years ago the new Medical Device Regulations (MDR) were introduced – sweeping legislation designed to ensure that all medical equipment is safe and performs as intended. The 2017 legislation slipped many people by, but the deadline is looming for when the regulations really take effect and must be fully applied.

Beds – A Critical Role In Caring For People With Dementia
In general, people with dementia are up to five times more likely to fall than similarly-aged people who don’t have cognitive impairment. This means falls are a real risk for people with dementia and the falls themselves are also particular dangerous; people with dementia are far more likely to fracture a hip and injure themselves if they fall which can lead to surgery and immobility. This means that fall prevention for people with dementia is absolutely vital for their health and well-being. Getting in and out of bed unaided is a challenging task for many people – especially if they’re …
Changing Places – Making Living Easier For People With Disabilities
Most people can plan sightseeing, shopping trips or visits to public buildings without having to even consider the logistics of where they’re going to go to the toilet. But according to the Changing Places organisation, there are more than 240,000 people with disabilities for whom ordinary toilets – or even standard “accessible” toilets – are simply not good enough because they don’t have a changing bench, lifting hoist, peninsular toilet or adequate space. Without these extra amenities, many people with disabilities are effectively barred from taking part in activities and outings that most people take for granted – simply because there …
Why Use Low Beds?

Lows Beds To Reduce The Risk From Falls Low beds are useful as part of a multi-faceted approach to reduce the risk of injuries from falls from bed.

The Beginnings of Bakare Beds
There are many specialist bed companies out there but it’s safe to say that Bakare is one of the few that has come about as a direct result of a heartfelt desire to help sick people sleep well. Bakare Beds was conceived in 1989 when John Baker was looking for ways to help his uncle Ron who was suffering from Multiple Sclerosis. At the time John was running a business selling fold-down wall-beds but his inventive mind was keen to create a bed that would help give his uncle more comfort, dignity and independence. In collaboration with his existing bed …
We Don’t Blow Our Own Trumpet – In Fact We Don’t Even Own One …
When it comes to business, everyone tends to blow their own trumpet. They brag, they elaborate and in some instance they no doubt exaggerate. The reason they do this sort of thing is that they want to engage with you the consumer, they want you to like them and ultimately they want you to buy their products. At Bakare Beds we like to think of ourselves as slightly different. We like to think of ourselves as down to earth, as normal, as decent people that run a decent business. The reasons we don’t have to exaggerate about the products we …
The ultimate New Year’s resolution … to sleep better.
Now that the we’re well into January, many people are still managing to avoid the pub in an effort to tackle Dry’anuary or even strangely they’re getting themselves to Greggs in what has become known as Vegan’uary.
