Don't sit too low when buying a sofa, or it will be difficult to sit down and stand up. Old people with low back pain should buy pillows, which are comfortable to sit and lie down and help to eliminate fatigue. Similarly, the sofa used by the elderly should not be too soft. That kind of people get caught up in it as soon as they sit up, feeling that the whole person is being hugged, and the sofa is not suitable for the elderly. This kind of sofa often makes them feel tired when they stand up.
The old man's furniture is well arranged. When people sleep, the direction of the body is consistent with the direction of the north and south poles of the earth, which is beneficial to health. Therefore, the placement of the elderly on the bed should be consistent with the direction of the north and south poles. Beds, loungers, sofas and other furniture for the elderly to rest and lie down for a long time should not be placed in the position facing the doors and windows to prevent the elderly from catching cold when resting. In addition, it is best to lay a carpet in the bedroom of the elderly to prevent the elderly from falling or suddenly fainting because of inconvenient legs and feet.
2. Chairs and stools
Chairs and benches used by the elderly, preferably with a backrest, support the human spine, keep the whole body muscle balance and reduce fatigue. The width of the backrest and chair surface of the chair stool should also be moderate, otherwise the temperature of the feet will drop due to the blocked blood circulation after sitting for a long time, which is not good for the body.
Step 3: table
The table for the elderly can neither be too high nor too low. Too high a table can easily lead to muscle fatigue, scoliosis, decreased vision and other ills of the elderly. Old people who sit at their desks for a long time will also suffer from cervical hypertrophy and other diseases because of cervical labial hyperplasia. Too low a table will make the old people feel uncomfortable writing, shoulder fatigue, chest tightness and difficulty sitting up.
4. Bedding
The bed of the old man should not be too high, so as not to get on and off the bed inconvenient. Soft beds such as spring beds are not suitable for the elderly, especially those suffering from lumbar muscle strain and hyperosteogeny, which often aggravate symptoms. Many elderly people like Simmons, spring beds and brown elastic beds, and think that these beds are soft and comfortable, which can reduce fatigue. Actually, it is not. These beds have poor air permeability. If you lie down for a long time, your spine will bend, the symptoms of strain will increase, and your back hurts. In order to prevent and treat low back pain, it is best to choose a wooden bed. It is better to thicken the mattress with hard mattress or hard bed board. When in use, a thick cotton pad can be added to the ceiling to make it soft, which can not only make the elderly lie more comfortable, but also keep the spine upright. Bedding should be warm, and sheets and quilts should be made of natural materials such as cotton.
