Hello,
We are wondering if anyone has had a bed sent home for someone and if they rip up the carpet to install it.
TIA
Hi Niamh CANADA
I presume you mean a hospital bed that is provided for someone who is bed bound? If so, when my mum needed this type of bed at home, we had to clear a room of furniture to allow room for it but the carpet stayed down.
A relative recebntly had one and it wasn't necessary to rip up the carpet, the bed was on wheels.
