The Stars Of Holmes Family Rescue Have A Genius Storage Solution We Want In Our Own Home
In one episode of Holmes Family Rescue, the team has to get creative on a small home where functionality and accessibility are the top priorities, via Realtor. Because there wasn't any floor space in the bedroom for additional furniture like cupboards and drawers, they chose a hydraulic bed to provide under-bed storage. Hydraulic beds are a genius storage solution for any bedroom that needs extra space because they are designed in a way that you can smoothly lift and lower the mattress and the platform on which it rests.
The hydraulic mechanism is usually controlled by a handle or button that, when activated, raises the whole platform requiring virtually no effort on your part. Hydraulic beds can be especially useful for storing items like clothing, shoes, or other bulky belongings like bedding. This modern form of under-the-bed storage is also great for preventing clutter since it keeps your items organized while out of sight.

According to Realtor, the Holmes Family expert team took into consideration that one of the homeowners recently had a stroke when they opted for this bed. In addition to being a space-saver, hydraulic storage beds are especially helpful for the elderly, those with disabilities, and those who for one reason or another can't move heavy things. They provide a much more efficient solution than having to manually lift or remove heavy mattresses when you need something.
While they solve the accessibility problem, it's necessary to be careful and supervise children when they use it. It can help to get a bed that has the added protection of safety rails on the side. It also helps to invest in a quality product and check that all the parts work properly. The bed frame should be sturdy, the lifting mechanism should operate smoothly, and there should be a lock to keep the bed from coming down when it's lifted.
