Hello, I have had a recent experience caring for my mum in a hospital setting. I was there for 4 days and exhausted. I am looking at designing a chair that converts to a bed. Is there such a product already in existence? I figure if the carer can be well rested while carer everyone wins ! Any ideas of where to start ?

I think children's hospitals provide these byo sleeping bag. I would ask at the hospital in the first instance to see if they have any.

They wheeled a bed in for me when my mother was in palliative so I could spend some nights with her.
