Frequently Asked Questions About Profiling Care Beds
What is the difference between a low bed and a floor bed?
Both bed types are designed to minimise the risk of injury from bed falls and they also have additional benefits such as easing swinging legs onto the bed and providing a feeling of safety and security for the user. A low profiling bed lowers closer to the ground than a standard nursing bed, usually around 20-25cm from floor to bed base in the lowest position. A profiling floor bed goes even lower and rests almost on the floor at 10-12cm in its lowest floor position to provide an ultra-safe sleeping position.
What size is a profiling bed?
Our profiling beds come in different sizes ranging from a standard 3ft single, 3ft 6 wide single, 4ft small double and 6ft. Our 6ft size is our dual beds which have two individual mattress platforms, perfect for two people.
View our range of profiling beds by size:
Can I use my own mattress with a profiling bed?
Most regular mattresses will not work on a profiling bed because they do not contour to the different positions of the bed. Some foam mattresses are compatible, but you should check with your mattress supplier before attempting to use on a profiling bed.
All Opera mattresses are specifically designed for use with our profiling beds. You can view the range below:

Our dedicated sales team can help choose a mattress for our profiling beds based on your needs and preferences, call the team on 0333 222 8584.
How quickly can I get a profiling bed?
Most of our profiling beds are available from stock and you can choose either next day courier delivery (requires you to assemble the bed) or our 2-man home installation service which is 4-7 working days. Urgent and same day deliveries are also available on request.
How high are profiling beds?
This depends on the type of profiling bed you require, all our hospital beds can be lowered and raised. The most common height range is the standard height, in its lowest position the bed is a similar height to a normal divan bed which is around 35-45cm from the floor to the mattress platform base. When its fully raised the bed reaches nursing height of around 70-80cm. Nursing height is the equivalent of a carer’s waist level.
We also have hospital beds within our range that can be lowered much closer to the floor than a standard height bed. In their lowest position this is typically around 20-25cm from the floor to the top of the mattress platform. The low height range gives safety to users at risk of falling out of bed, particularly users who suffer with dementia they are less likely to be injured from a bed fall at this height.
We also have profiling beds such as the Solo Collection with an All-in-one height range. This is where the bed can be lowered to the height of a low bed (15-25cm) and raised to full nursing height of around 70-80cm.
Do you offer VAT relief?
Yes, you do not have to pay VAT providing you have a recognised long-term medical condition (e.g. arthritis, diabetes etc) and you are purchasing for personal use or on behalf of a family member or person in your care. You can pay without VAT by filling out a simple declaration form when you go to checkout online or if you order over the phone you will pay without VAT and a form will be emailed to you to complete your purchase.
If you have any questions on VAT or eligibility, you can view more information and government guidance here or call us on 0333 222 8584.
Types of profiling beds
Profiling care beds are designed to make daily life easier and more comfortable, helping with everything from safe mobility to restful sleep.
For added reassurance, you can also add bed grab rails to reduce the risk of falls, along with other care bed accessories such as over-bed tables and bed bumpers.
We stock the following types of profiling beds:
Standard height
Our standard height profiling beds are similar in height to regular divan beds. They lower to around 40cm and rise to about 80cm, making them practical for everyday use and comfortable for carers who need to provide support at waist height.
Low height
Low profiling beds adjust to as low as 11cm from the floor, which is especially helpful for anyone vulnerable to falls. While they don’t rise as high as standard options, they offer safe, gentle access in and out of bed.
All-in-one height
If you’re looking for flexibility, all-in-one-height beds combine both low and standard ranges (20-80cm). This means you can enjoy a safe sleeping height as well as a high nursing height when needed. Discover our Opera Signature Profiling Bed for more information.
Wide profiling beds
We stock profiling beds in a range of sizes, from single and double profiling beds up to king and super king!
For those who need more space, extra-wide or bariatric profiling beds are available. You’ll also find dual profiling beds that allow couples to continue sharing, even if care needs have changed. View our full range of bariatric beds today.

The benefits of a profiling bed
Profiling beds offer a fantastic range of benefits to users of all ages and mobility needs, thanks to their innovative flexibility, which allows for easy, independent movement while in bed. Here are some of the most widely-celebrated benefits:
Better health and comfort
The right bed can relieve discomfort, aid circulation, and support breathing. Profiling beds are especially helpful for people living with conditions such as cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s, arthritis, or for recovery following a stroke. Bariatric models are available for those who need extra space and strength.
Easy adjustments
Unlike standard hospital beds, profiling beds allow you to raise or lower the backrest, footrest, or overall height with ease. Electric models are operated with a simple handset, while manual beds use a pump. Adjusting the bed throughout the day can bring relief, encourage movement, and make care tasks much safer.
Independence and peace of mind
Being able to get in and out of bed more easily helps you maintain your independence and dignity. Profiling beds give both you and your loved ones greater reassurance, whether at home or in a care setting.
