Hi,

My Dad is really struggling with his breathing when lying down flat. He's got COPD among other issues.

Is there a leg that is long enough to prop up the head end of a bedchair? The ones I have found only go up 40cm which isn't enough for him.

Thank you

Hiya,

I don't know of an "off the shelf" solution but you could try LINKY POO™ https://www.defiantmps.uk/.

I'm pretty sure the owner is "Defiant.one" on this forum.

Good luck

Or try a bank stick adjust to the length you require pop a rubber butt rest in the top to drop the bedchair frame into, hey presto.

You probably don;t have to look for a bigger support, just put something underneath the one you have now like a block of wood or even a bait bucket etc.

Its what I do on banks that are a bit unlevel and the legs don't extend enough. I just carry a few squares of wood about 6" square and up to 1" thick and put them under the legs which I cannot level

you could even probably be able to cut some lengths of 2 x 2 to the length you need and just put some " V Cuts" to rest the bed frame in as well as squares of wood for final adjustments

I agree with Zack, I used to use a bucket under the rear leg crossmember. But recently cut a piece of timber to the correct length that locks into the rear leg cross member and the head of the frame. I fold it up in the bedchair when I pack away.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
