Improving Sleep Conditions During Emergencies: The 'Anywhere Home Bed'

In a world where natural disasters are becoming increasingly frequent, ensuring a comfortable and safe sleeping environment in evacuation centers is critical. Recognizing the importance of sleep and rest for maintaining health during such emergencies, Achilles Corporation has developed an innovative solution: the 'Anywhere Home Bed', set to debut on January 30, 2026. This bed utilizes advanced insulation materials designed for construction to improve the quality of sleep in disaster relief settings.

Challenges of Traditional Evacuation Beds

Traditionally, evacuation centers have relied on cardboard beds, which, while initially convenient, have several drawbacks. Cardboard is susceptible to moisture and can deteriorate quickly, making it unsuitable for long-term use or storage. The 'Anywhere Home Bed' addresses these concerns by employing 'Achilles Board PE', a specialized insulation material known for its excellent thermal insulation, moisture resistance, and durability.

Features of the 'Anywhere Home Bed'

1. Superior Insulation: This bed vastly exceeds the insulation capabilities of cardboard alternatives. With a thermal conductivity of just 0.024 W/(m·K) compared to the 0.050 to 0.065 W/(m·K) of typical cardboard, the 'Anywhere Home Bed' effectively blocks cold and heat from the floor, enhancing comfort for users.

2. Durability and Reusability: Made from a hard polyurethane foam that absorbs virtually no moisture, Achilles Board PE maintains strength even when wet, making it ideal for repeated use in emergency preparedness. This feature ensures that the bed can be relied upon for multiple situations without compromising safety or performance.

3. Easy Setup: The design of the 'Anywhere Home Bed' allows for quick assembly, taking just about 90 seconds to set up without any tools. This compact and lightweight solution is easily stored when not in use, requiring minimal space – perfect for crowded evacuation centers.

4. Accessibility and Support: Standing at a height of 36 cm, the bed is designed for easy access, accommodating those with mobility concerns. With a weight capacity of 300 kg, it provides stable support for users, making it suitable for a wide range of individuals.

5. Storage Solutions: The bed incorporates approximately 240 liters of storage space underneath, making it practical for use in limited areas, thereby maximizing available space in evacuation environments.

Hygienic and Safe

The surface of the 'Anywhere Home Bed' is easy to clean using water or alcohol-based disinfectants, fostering hygiene in evacuation centers. Additionally, the insulation material has been tested in construction settings, overcoming concerns related to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and sick building syndrome, ensuring a safer sleeping environment.

Beyond Disaster Relief

Though primarily designed for disaster shelters, the applications of the 'Anywhere Home Bed' extend to corporate BCP (Business Continuity Planning) measures, providing comfortable resting spaces in offices, construction sites, and event venues. With its various user-oriented features, it aims to offer relaxation and stress relief during difficult times.
