Frequently Asked Questions About Profiling Care Beds
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 platfroms, perfect for two people.
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:

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.

What is a profiling bed?
Profiling care beds used in care homes and private homes to help elderly and disabled users with mobility and support, whilst assisting carers with nursing. Electric profiling beds get their name from their profiling mattress platform, which allows users to raise the backrest to sit up in bed and raise the footrest and knee-break to elevate their legs.
Profiling beds are also fully height adjustable and some models have a lilting function called Trendelenburg. All functions are operated electrically through a wired handset which can be clipped on to the side of the bed. Beds may also be chosen with side rails at either side of the mattress platform which can be raised and lowered to help prevent falls from the bed.
The different types of profiling beds
Standard height
Standard height profiling beds are the most common type of profiling bed. In their lowest position, they are around 40cm from the floor which is a similar height to a normal divan bed. When raised to their highest position they are around 80cm from the floor, the height of a carer’s waist level to facilitate nursing for the user on the bed.
Low height
Low height profiling beds can be lowered much closer to the floor, around 20cm away. This creates a safe sleeping height when side rails are not suitable for users and also offers more flexibility when getting in and out of the bed. However, low profiling beds can only be raised to around 60cm high meaning a carer would have to bend over the bed to nurse the patient.
All-in-one height
All-in-one-height profiling beds are low and standard height beds combined into one bed, hence the name. They have an extensive height range of around 20cm – 80cm which mean users get the benefits of a low sleeping/access height as well as a high nursing height.
Wide
Wide profiling beds are typically around 4ft wide and are ideal for users who require additional room when in the bed. A 4ft wide bed is classed as an extra wide single bed or small double bed.
Profiling Beds are also reffered to as; profiling beds, care beds, Nursing beds, Medical beds, Disability beds, Dementia beds, Community beds, Care Home beds, Home care beds, Heiught adjustable beds, high low beds, beds with side rails.
