An attendant bed-cum-chair is a piece of furniture primarily used in healthcare settings to provide both a seating and sleeping option for caregivers or family members attending to patients. It's designed to be easily converted from a chair to a bed, and vice versa, offering a space-saving and convenient solution for extended patient stays. 

Caregiver Rest:

The primary function is to provide a comfortable resting place for attendants, family members, or other caregivers who need to stay with a patient for extended periods.

Space Optimization:

In hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare facilities, space is often at a premium. The bed-cum-chair design allows for efficient use of space by offering both a seating and sleeping option in one piece of furniture.

Patient Proximity:

Keeping the attendant close to the patient can be beneficial for both the patient's well-being and for providing immediate assistance when needed.
