GENERAL BED

Adjustability	Most modern general beds have features to raise or lower the head and foot sections, operated either manually (via hand cranks), semi-electrically, or fully electrically via a remote control. Common positions include:
Fowler's position	Head of the bed raised (30-90 degrees) to assist with breathing, feeding, and certain medical procedures.
Knee Gatch	The knee section can be raised to promote circulation and prevent the patient from sliding down the bed.
Side Rails	Adjustable or removable rails help prevent patients from falling out of bed and provide a grab bar for mobility assistance.
Braking System	Caster wheels include a central or individual locking system to keep the bed securely in place during transfers and care.
Bumpers	Protective buffers on the corners help protect the bed and surrounding environment from collision damage.
Mattress	A specialized, pressure-redistributing mattress that is waterproof, easy to clean, and designed to bend with the bed's adjustments is essential for hygiene and preventing pressure ulcers (bedsores).
