What is a Care Bed?
A care bed is an adjustable home-use bed designed to support daily care activities such as getting up, turning, dining, reading, and personal hygiene. Compared to regular beds, care beds focus on ease of use, safety, and maintenance.

FAQ (Short Version)
Q：Is an electric bed different from a home care bed?
A：In B-Life terms, an electric bed is a home care bed, with focus on adjustable angles and height.
Q：What does “number of motors / cranks” mean?
A：Refers to drive/operation type, not the number of adjustable functions; check actual bed specs for function count.
Q：How to use the controller?
A：Press the corresponding icon (Back / Legs / Height) to move; release to stop. Most models support a lock function to prevent accidental use.
