Bosen Furniture tells you how to choose the furniture for the elderly
The choice of furniture for the elderly needs to be more prudent, whether it is in terms of materials, size or shape. Today, Person Furniture tells you how to choose the furniture for the elderly. There are six aspects: The elderly "sitting" should be "smooth" With the increase of age, people's memory and physical flexibility will decline. Therefore, when selecting elderly furniture, especially sofas and chairs, it can be comprehensively observed from three aspects of design, materials and color. The inconvenience of walking, the coordination of the body is declining, and collision is inevitable. In order to reduce accidents, look at the details of the cornerless, sleek shape design, simple styling is the first principle, psychologically can also give the elderly a sense of security. Some products still need to sit up and try. When the person sits up, it is deeply inside, and it feels like the sofa that the whole person is hugged is really comfortable, but it is not suitable for the elderly, because the sofa will continue to sink after sitting up, which may give They bring sudden psychological panic and, more importantly, the sofa is not easy for them to stand up. Therefore, the sofa for the elderly should not be too soft. Functional sofas that can help the elderly to get up, sit and relax are a good choice. Lightweight and environmentally friendly For furniture materials, environmental protection standards are more conducive to the health of the elderly, and the light weight of the furniture is easier for the elderly to move when needed. This can be achieved by using a simple shape and selecting some materials with lower density. In addition, attention should be paid to the convenience and practicability of the materials, so that the furniture can be used "hands-on" to highlight its functionality. In short, the material is the carrier and support of the furniture design, which is the basis of the furniture styling. It restricts the internal structure and external form of the furniture, and also reflects different textures and effects. Wood, bamboo, rattan, natural latex and other materials are more environmentally friendly than synthetic materials, and should be the first choice for elderly furniture materials. For example, bamboo, rattan and other materials, they can meet the environmental health awareness of modern people in performance, visual and psychological, and the furniture produced is generally light, especially suitable for the elderly. The color is light and natural Color can directly affect people's psychology. Color can also reflect weight, time and density. It can also create different comforts and even affect the relative humidity in the room. Therefore, when we choose furniture for the elderly, we should also pay attention to the treatment of color. It is understood that those low-purity, low-light, harmonious and fresh and elegant colors can give the elderly a quiet, comfortable and elegant living atmosphere. Aside from the complicated color matching, the harmonious color can make people feel happy and comfortable. Therefore, in the color selection of the furniture of the elderly, the colors of different hue, different brightness and different purity need to be arranged according to a certain order, and the balance of color intensity is obtained. The natural color of the natural materials itself, with its original, simple and soft characteristics, enables the elderly to harvest a more peaceful state of mind, which is beneficial to the physical and mental health of the elderly. The convenience of the elderly bathroom is more important than the beauty With the increasing number of elderly people and the concept of humanized home life, the safety of the elderly and the convenience of daily life should be the primary concern. The details of anti-slip mats, safety rails and bathroom handles can be used for the elderly. Life brings great convenience and security. Bathroom size is relaxed, style is simple, and function is strengthened Older people use the bathroom for a longer period of time, and the range of motion is larger. Therefore, the sanitary ware used by the elderly should choose a simple operation device. The installation size should be appropriately relaxed, and the position should conform to the physiological characteristics of the elderly; Safety and equipment that is less dangerous when the elderly fall. It is best for the elderly to use white sanitary ware, which is clean and easy to spot certain lesions in the elderly. A convenient toilet should be used, and the flush handle is located in an easy-to-operate position. In order to prevent the human body from being stimulated by the cold seat in winter, a toilet with heating function can be used, which has a single-function toilet type, a toilet seat and a warm air integrated type, a toilet seat and a warm water washing integrated type. A washable table suitable for sitting can be set as needed, and a place for placing the knee should be left under the countertop. The bathtub should be made of non-slip material. The edge of the bathtub should be 350mm~450mm from the ground. It is suitable for crossing the bathtub and sitting on the edge of the bathtub. The edge of the bathtub should be in the shape of a seat that can be seated and turned, with a 400mm wide bath on one end of the bathtub. For the elderly, the grip strength is reduced, and the Faucet with a shape that is easy to operate should be selected, and a lever type faucet or an automatic faucet for adjusting the water temperature can be used. Hot water taps use signs with obvious colors to prevent burns caused by improper operation of the elderly. Leaving a seat and installing armrests In a steam-steamed bathroom, sitting is safer than standing. Due to the decline of bodily functions, it is not practical for the elderly to stand for a long time. There is a special bench for the bathroom. When designing in the bathroom, according to the physical scale and behavior characteristics of the elderly, handrails are placed in places where there may be unstable movements such as up and down movement and standing on one leg. In places where traffic is frequently used, it is necessary to install handrails that are easy to use when walking horizontally , or to reserve a position where armrests can be installed and to make reinforcement measures at corresponding positions on the wall. The height, material and shape of the handrail should be selected according to the characteristics of use. The installation must be strong and reliable to ensure the safety of use. The height of the handrail should be convenient for the elderly to move in the corridor, stairs, bathroom, living room, dining room, bedroom, etc., and the height is preferably 800mm~900mm. Handrails can be installed initially or later depending on the situation. In the post-installation, the armrests should be prepared in advance, and the wall reinforcement position should be marked on the map or marked on the wall so that it can be installed at any time when needed. The installation of handrails in sprinklers, bathtubs and aisles maximizes the safety of the elderly and those with reduced mobility. The door of the bathroom should be opened inward to facilitate external rescue when an emergency occurs. Similar armrests can also be installed next to the toilet. In addition, the height of the toilet is increased by 5cm during installation, or the height of the seat cushion is added separately - a few centimeters in the area, which is of great help to the elderly who are inconvenient.
