Hello all.  Is there any center in the country (US) that has twin beds to do your nocturnal dialysis in instead of reclliners?  I cannot sleep in a recliner and that's all most of these centers seem to have.  Thanks in advance, John

We have the regular dialysis chairs which do lay pretty flat and then these 2 dumb cots they drag out for someone who whats to try that.  We did have one lady that used them for awhile.

We have six beds in a unit of 30 or so.  First come first served.  I lucked into a bed about a year or so ago.

the chairs in my center are what's considered nocturnal chairs. they go completely flat. when the center first started the nocturnal shift they looked into getting beds but they wouldn't fit through the doors in case of fire....so that was out. just because the chairs go flat doesn't mean they are any more comfortable than ones that don't.
