Does anyone have thoughts on using an electric bed that will lower completely to the floor?
Seems very common in Europe & Australia to use.

Moms bed at the NH lowers enough that the mattress bottom is about 6-8” off the floor. The mechanisms are under that so I don’t think it could go any lower, the way it’s designed. I’ve never seen any lower here.
