Accessible Designs Help The Blind and Disabled Seniors
SPARKS, NV / ACCESSWIRE / December 20, 2021 / According to the US Administration on Aging, by 2030, because of the aging "baby boomers" and increased life expectancy, about 72.1 million or more than 1 in 5 Americans will be aged 65 or above.
Most seniors want to live independently for as long as possible. However, health-related conditions may limit their mobility and threaten their independence. Seniors, along with disabled Americans, are constantly searching for methods and tools to make daily activities easy.
Google says there are 292,000,000 searches on how to make a bed and over 2 billion results. RR Distinctive Beddings, LLC, founded by Ruby Russell, has some solutions. Russell says, "bed making with traditional bedding is a complicated, time-consuming, frustrating process."
Russell, a businesswoman and inventor, accidentally discovered the need for easy-to-use bedding when her partner suffered a back injury. Russell says, "he would toss and turn in the bed, tearing it up." Russell hated making the bed, so she invented a one-tuck, self-centering top bed sheet. Russell says, "it's guaranteed to stay put no matter how much you toss and turn." This invention led to the birth of Stayput Beddings™.
When Russell had cataract surgery, she became legally blind in her left eye. She began to study the challenges the blind have in making a bed and discovered there are 43 million blind and 295 million visually impaired people, which will triple by the year 2050. Along with the growing population of baby boomers, this population frequently struggles with bed-making.
RR Distinctive Bedding, LLC has created a line of accessible beddings that can be a game-changer for those who are disabled or have limited mobility. Russell tackled the problem of the fitted sheet and made the care label larger to accommodate anyone frustrated with the long and short end. The new fitted sheet has a label on the center of the sheet to eliminate getting the corners wrong.
The duvet cover is another source of frustration for anyone trying to make the bed. There are hundreds of instructional videos with names like the sausage, burrito, and California roll, but the dreaded duvet cover still stumps many people. Russell admits, "I dumped the duvet cover on my bed 20 years ago because I hated stuffing it."
Russell's Befitted Bedding™ offers an easy-to-make duvet cover guaranteed to stay-put. There's also a bedspread design that fits like a glove and stays centered.
RR Distinctive Beddings, LLC and Befitted Bedding continue to explore new options to make bedding effortless. Russell says, "I want to bring bedding into the 21st century with simple designs that make bed-making so easy a child can do it. I want to change how the world sleeps."
