The company argues that the implementation of elevating beds must be approached with an operational, ergonomic and long-term vision, not only as regulatory compliance.

 

KHAMA Hotel considers that the approval in the Parliament of the Canary Islands of the modification of the Tourism Regulation Law marks a turning point for tourist accommodation: the elevating bed ceases to be an optional solution to become a strategic tool for occupational health, operational efficiency and quality of service in the hotel.

The new approved framework establishes a progressive implementation until 2033, with different percentages depending on the type of establishment, provides for public aid to facilitate the transition and provides for specific exceptions for certain protected or small properties. For KHAMA Hotel, this regulatory evolution confirms a need that the sector has been detecting for years in the daily operations of housekeeping.

In this context, KHAMA Hotel arrives at this moment with previous experience in the sector. The company claims to have already installed more than 4,000 elevators to facilitate housekeeping in hotels and received recognition in 2024 from the I Canaria Santa Marta Hospitality Awards for its collaboration in the training of housekeepers and housekeepers, as well as for its contribution to improving ergonomics and working conditions in the hotel.

KHAMA Hotel’s elevating beds are designed to allow staff to make the bed standing, reduce awkward postures, minimize overload injuries and optimize cleaning times. As the company explains in its technical materials, the system can be operated by foot pedal or automation, facilitating both cleaning and maintenance of the room without sacrificing design or guest comfort.

According to initial data handled by KHAMA Hotel, the implementation of this type of solution can save up to 25% in the time spent making the bed, in addition to reducing the physical effort associated with repetitive movements and weight manipulation. The company also points out that hotels that have already incorporated this solution highlight the improvement in the perception of the workplace, the well-being of the team and the operational return on investment.

KHAMA Hotel also insists that the challenge of the Canary Islands market is no longer just to install elevating beds, but to do it well. Part of the professional debate that has opened in recent days has warned about the risk of turning a good measure into a bad experience when slow, poorly calibrated systems are implemented or chosen solely on the basis of price. For this reason, the company defends an implementation accompanied by technical advice, training and a correct adaptation between bed, mattress and real use of hotel operations.

Proposed quote from the spokesman: “The elevating bed should not be understood as an expense to comply with the file, but as a decision that protects people, improves daily operations and raises the quality of the hotel from within”.
