As society enters a deep aging stage, home-based elderly care has become the choice of most families. An electric nursing bed that can be "raised and lowered with one click" and "automatically turned over" is quietly changing the later years of millions of elderly people. From medical institutions to living rooms and bedrooms, this seemingly ordinary home upgrade is actually a microcosm of the deep integration of technology and humanistic care.

Function Iteration: From "For medical use Only" to "Standard for Families"
Traditional nursing beds have long been confined to hospital Settings due to their bulkiness and complex operation. The new generation of electric nursing beds, through modular design, condenses technologies such as hydraulic lifting, intelligent remote control, and body position adjustment into home scenarios. For instance, both the manual and electric nursing beds of Xiamen Weiyou Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. support stepless adjustment from 0 to 75 degrees, allowing the elderly to independently perform actions such as raising their backs and legs. Anti-skid and anti-slip safety guardrails and emergency call systems make remote supervision of children possible. Data shows that in the first quarter of 2025, the sales of home care beds in China increased by 42% year-on-year, among which the demand for "elderly-friendly renovations" accounted for more than 60%.

Scene Revolution: One Bed Supports the "Home-based Elderly Care Ecosystem"
In the home of Aunt Li, a retired teacher in Hangzhou, the electric nursing bed is not only a sleeping tool but also a health management center. By connecting to the smart bracelet, the bed body can monitor the heart rate and breathing rate in real time. When the data is abnormal, it will be automatically pushed to the children's mobile phones. Equipped with detachable dining boards and toilet assistance devices, the elderly can complete their daily activities without getting out of bed. This "multi-functional elderly nursing bed" design concept is driving home care to shift from "passive care" to "active health management".

Market penetration: Affordable prices have driven a consumption boom
Not long ago, electric nursing beds were beyond the reach of ordinary families due to their prices often amounting to tens of thousands of yuan. Nowadays, with the maturation of the supply chain for electric nursing beds, products priced between 3,000 and 8,000 yuan have occupied the mainstream market. Data from a certain e-commerce platform shows that during the "Double 11" period in 2025, the transaction volume of home care beds priced at over 1,000 yuan exceeded 100,000 units, with over 80% of the buyers being ordinary working-class families. The "people-friendly" pricing has made technological elderly care no longer a privilege for a few.

Policy tailwind: Elderly-friendly renovations unleash essential demand
The promotion at the government level has pressed the accelerator for the popularization of electric nursing beds. Beijing, Shanghai and other places have included "family-based elderly care beds" in people's livelihood projects and provided subsidies of up to 50% for the purchase of elderly-friendly equipment. Meanwhile, many places have piloted "nursing bed rental services", lowering the usage threshold at a price of 200 to 500 yuan per month. Driven by both policy and market forces, electric nursing beds are transforming from "optional consumer goods" to "essential items for elderly care".

The Future is Here: From "Functional Satisfaction" to "Emotional Empowerment"
When the industry focuses on technical parameters, some enterprises have begun to explore "technology with warmth". For instance, the anxiety of the elderly can be alleviated through the wave-like massage function that simulates natural undulations, or emotional companionship can be achieved by integrating a voice interaction system. As one practitioner put it, "The electric nursing beds of the future should not only ensure the safety of the elderly but also enable them to live with dignity." In this quiet home transformation, technology is safeguarding the elderly's later years in a subtle and imperceptible way.
