No lifters, hoists, slings or heavy lifting with Behn. Just smooth, automated movement from bed-to-bathroom and everyday life.
Behn brings bed, shower chair and bathroom functions together with remote-controlled powered movement. Carers benefit from reduced strain, while daily routines become faster and more dignified.
Every function supports smooth, uninterrupted transfers — so one carer can handle daily routines with less equipment, no heavy lifting, and more confidence.
Simple remote control makes positioning and transfers effortless — no heavy lifting, just smooth motion.
Behn adjusts smoothly into position, so carers can transfer safely without lifting or repositioning.
Remain on the same surface from bed to chair to bathroom — no additional equipment required.
Behn rolls into place for showering or toileting. Use adjustable paddles for bathing, drying and dressing in place.
Seven recline positions and adjustable paddles make personal care easier, with less bending.
Once care is complete, Behn converts into a padded day chair— or transitions smoothly back into bed.
Behn functions as a fully adjustable bed with all the features you’d expect including height, backrest and comfort support, with the added benefit of integrated chair and bathroom functions.
As part of the fully integrated Behn system, the shower chair and commode keep clients supported from bed to bathroom and back— helping to minimise lifting, bending and repositioning.
How does Behn stack up against the usual mix of hospital beds, hoists, slings, shower chairs and care costs?
Here’s a quick comparison of what everyday care may look like:
1 carer: able to complete all transfers and repositioning independently. No manual lifting required. Reduces physical strain and staffing requirements.
2 (or more) carers: transfers and manual lifts often demand two caregivers, adding pressure, coordination challenges, and increased physical strain.
All-in-one system: an adjustable bed, shower chair and commode—plus the added benefit of converting into a padded day chair for daily use.
Multiple pieces: an adjustable bed, patient hoist, sling, wheelchair, and commode as separate items. Each functions independently and is not integrated, requiring additional space, time, and coordination during care.
Automated slide/shift: Bed and chair connect and move the client in a gentle lateral motion – no manual lifting or sling suspending. The client is always supported on a surface.
Hoisting and manual lifting: Requires rolling the person to attach a sling, then lifting them with a hydraulic or electric hoist (client is suspended in mid-air), then repositioning into a chair. Multiple steps with significant handling.
