Benefits of a Bedside Commode

The word commode comes from the French word meaning convenient or suitable, and refers to a small cabinet placed at the bedside.  The commode can be used to place a lamp on for reading, store medicines, clothing, hygiene products, or act as a surface for jotting down notes.  The commode is different from a standard bedside table because it is wider, and acts more like a small dresser or linen cabinet than mere flat surface.  Some commodes are designed to cater to the needs of elderly people, and can be used as seats or stools for getting in and out of bed safely. 

 

The commode is a classic piece of furniture that is celebrated for its simplicity and elegant design; it’s great for impressing your friends and family or even as a gift to your bed companion.
