Our mum in aged care has not been comfortable in a bed. 90’s with severe curvature of the spine and neck with limited mobility. After a number of stays in hospital, rehab and now in aged care, no one has been able to find a set of positions that keep her happy.
She has found a medical grade fully adjustable electric recliner plus numerous pillows works best. An added benefit of the chair is a lift to stand up mode.

We looked to our local area (50km radius) and located several competing businesses specialising in mobility and medical care equipment. These included chairs and beds. I think one of the concerns for our mum is once tucked up in bed she has insufficient strength to get out of bed unaided. Hence the chair is more reassuring.
We’ve noted double or larger beds with independent systems. Effectively 2 singles joined at the frame only. Since each half can move independently the mattresses and coverings need to be seperate.
The only small wisdom is to ensure what ever you choose, ensure it has a battery backup for when the power goes out, if personal mobility is likely a concern.
