From July 1st, the Law on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of the Elderly was officially implemented, and “always go home to see†was written into the law. The whole society began to pay attention to the old age of the elderly, and caring for the elderly became the moral orientation of the whole society. Most parents choose to stay at home, but the lives of these elderly people are not convenient. One of the most important reasons for this is that there are currently no household products suitable for the elderly.
Then, old furniture is hard to trace, there is no demand? Still no one pays attention?
Status: What kind of furniture do older people need?
In response to this phenomenon, the person in charge of the home of Taiyuan Hexi said that the current furniture market is not very detailed, the furniture used by the elderly is simple and practical, not too fancy, but the furniture for the elderly is more difficult to master.
So, what kind of furniture do the elderly need? Many citizens report that the elderly have the longest time at home every day, and the safety and comfort of furniture is particularly important. Old arms and old legs are easily injured, so the furniture used by the elderly should minimize some angular angles. The Bed should not be too high, it can be convenient to go up and down; the chair should have a handrail to facilitate the grip when sitting up.
With the increase of age, the inconvenience of movement has become the biggest life obstacle for the elderly, and the Living Room and Bedroom are places where the elderly often go in and out. Therefore, whether it is a sofa or a cabinet, the design should be considered from the perspective of the elderly. During the interview, Li’s mother, who lived in the former Beijiao Village in Wanbai District, also said her own thoughts. The elderly’s legs and feet are not easy to use, and the eyes are not very good. If there is a special elderly furniture to prevent falls and falls. It is best.
Survey: It’s not just not "special"
In the interview, the reporter learned that, unlike children's furniture, although there is no old-age furniture tailored for the elderly, each family has a handy spot to meet the needs of consumers.
“We don’t have old-age furniture, but I think these Sofas are the most suitable for the elderly. If you buy them for your father, it’s better.†The salesperson of a brand sofa in Hexi’s home is starting. Warmly introduce the reporter to his family's massage sofa and electric rocking chair sofa. In addition, like the body cleaner in the bathroom facilities (also known as the smart toilet cover), its unique heating, laxative, cleaning and drying functions can solve the elderly's fear of cold, before the laxative and post-cleaning Dry and other problems.
In this regard, the person in charge of the Taiyuan Furniture Industry Association said that there may be some furniture and building materials brands that are not specifically designed for the elderly, and there is no ready-made product that meets the requirements of the elderly, but it does not hinder the children. Parents are filial and choose furniture, because the customized services provided by consumers brought by furniture and building materials are becoming more and more mature. However, these functional household products may also be suitable for the needs of other consumers, so it is not so "special".
Analysis: Why is it difficult to find elderly furniture?
At present, the design of household products on the market is more in line with the needs of young people. In the case that children's furniture is more and more valued by the merchants, there are few enterprises in the field of old-fashioned furniture and building materials.
The person in charge of the Taiyuan Furniture Industry Association said that the reason is that aged furniture is not as unique as children's furniture. For a long time, adult household products have been in demand for the elderly, and the demand for furniture from the elderly has often been met with the overall functional development of the furniture industry. In fact, the elderly home products should focus on the functional design of the elderly, such as designing the armrests that support the height of the elderly when standing up, and the anti-slip mats on the chair legs of the elderly special chairs. This is the aged furniture. An effective path for the rapid development of the building materials market.
