Easy self-transfer couch and bed needed... what works best?

For the last 4 years Blackwood Homes an Care, a leading housing and care provider, has been planning the build of the ultimate accessible home that will be beautiful, accessible and affordable.

You, the bespoken members, have played a key part in it's development by responding to and commenting on this discussion. Ranging from kitchen specifications, to hoists and bathroom options, bespoken members have helped shape the future of accessibility with Blackwood. And we're almost there...

Amazingly we are now at the stage of ordering the furniture for the houses and could really use a few good tips. Namely:

1) Sofas - What sort of sofa is best for self-transferring from a manual wheelchair? We mean things like what's the best shape? Does the fabric make a difference? Anything else we're not thinking of?

And...

2) Beds - Are you able to recommend a type or shape of bed, that makes self-transferring from a manual wheelchair easier?

Pop a comment below to give us your thoughts. Cheers.
