Umbhede wokunakekela abahlengikazi (futhi umbhede wabahlengikazi noma umbhede wokunakekela) umbhede osuguqulelwe ukuze uvumelane nezidingo ezithile zabantu abagulayo noma abakhubazekile.Imibhede yokunakekela abahlengikazi isetshenziswa ekunakekelweni kwasekhaya kanye nasekunakekelweni kweziguli (ezindlini zomhlalaphansi kanye nasebekhulile).
Izici ezijwayelekile zemibhede yokunakekela abahlengikazi zihlanganisa izindawo zokulala ezilungisekayo, ukuphakama okungalungiseka kuze kufike okungenani ku-65 cm ukunakekelwa kwe-ergonomic, nama-castors akhiyekayo anobubanzi obuncane obuyi-10 cm.Izindawo zokulala ezinezigaba eziningi, ngokuvamile ezisebenza ngogesi zingalungiswa ukuze zilingane nezindawo ezihlukahlukene, njengendawo yokuhlala enethezekile, izindawo zokushaqeka noma izindawo zenhliziyo.Imibhede yokunakekela abahlengikazi nayo ivamise ukuhlonyiswa ngezinsiza zokudonsa (ama-trapeze ama-trapeze) kanye/noma [uhlangothi lombhede|izinhlangothi zombhede]] (ama-side rails) ukuze kuvinjelwe ukuwa.
Ngenxa yobude bawo obulungisekayo, umbhede wokunakekela abahlengikazi uvumela kokubili ukuphakama kokusebenza kwe-ergonomic kubahlengikazi nabelaphi bezokunakekelwa kwempilo kanye nohlu lwezikhundla ezifanele ezivumela ukufinyelela okulula kumhlali.
