What is a profiling bed?
Profiling care beds are specially designed to help those who may struggle with a regular bed. This could be due to their health condition, disability or mobility which makes it difficult to get comfortable and be properly supported.
Profiling beds have a height adjustment feature
One of the key differences of a profiling care bed is the height adjustment feature. The whole bed can be raised and lowered to find the perfect height, this makes it much easier and safer when getting in and out of bed.
Many people with limited mobility can find it tricky to get out of bed, often a regular bed is too high, and they find it difficult to swing their legs in and out. It can be extra challenging for those with poor strength in their leg muscles or have poor balance. However, with a profiling bed, you can lower the bed down to a safe and comfortable height which makes it easier to transfer in and out.
If you have carers at home or are providing care for someone, profiling beds are beneficial for them too. Delivering on-bed care puts strain on the back from excessive bending. Using the height adjustment feature and raising the bed up to waist level is safer for carers and more convenient.
There are also profiling bed accessories such as grab rails which provide extra stability to those with limited mobility. For users transferring to a walker or wheelchair, grab rails give extra support and help when getting in and out of bed.
At Opera Beds, we support people with care needs at home and their family members looking after their loved ones. Profiling beds offer enhanced comfort and support, and our team can find the perfect bed to suit your needs. Start your journey to making life easier by contacting our friendly advisors.
Profiling care beds improve the quality of sleep
As mentioned previously, profiling care beds offer a wide variety of adjustable positions for comfort and support. Therefore, it is much easier for people with limited mobility to get a restful and comfortable night’s sleep.
Many with a health condition, including people with limited mobility can experience broken sleep and restless nights. Furthermore, profiling beds can aid better breathing and reduce snoring for better quality sleep.
Discreet and unobtrusive styling
Profiling beds are designed to offer significant benefits to individuals with limited mobility. These beds not only serve their functional purpose but also blend seamlessly into home environments, contributing to a comforting and non-intrusive atmosphere.
The aesthetically pleasing design of profiling beds helps maintain the sense of a familiar and personal space, promoting emotional well-being. Moreover, the discreet styling avoids stigmatization often associated with traditional medical equipment, allowing users to feel more at ease and less conspicuous in their living spaces.
By integrating practicality with an unobtrusive aesthetic, profiling beds in a homely style enhances the overall quality of life for individuals who face mobility challenges. They foster a sense of dignity and independence within the comforts of their own homes.
