What is Oldi?

When a wheelchair is no longer enough.

Conventional wheelchairs and recliners are not suitable for people who can only lie down. Oldi is a proven bed on wheels: with a companion, the person can safely go out — for a walk, to the park, to a concert, a football match or a family celebration.

Why the name Oldi? The name was Klemen's idea. So it would not be just "Old", he added an i — Oldi. It sounds friendlier and makes people smile.

Mobile Bed Oldi on a walk in nature
Our story

It all began with a great-grandmother's wish.

Our great-grandmother loved nature, sport and travel all her life. When her health confined her to bed, she spent her last ten years in a closed room of a care home. Her greatest wish was simple: to go outside once more, into the sun, among her great-grandchildren. Sadly, that wish was never fulfilled.

So we decided to fulfil it for everyone in a similar situation. Research showed that as many as 80% of bedridden people long to go outside. From that thought, Oldi was born — a father-and-son family project.

"Age and illness must never be an excuse for a lower quality of life." — Klemen Verbovšek
