Discover beds for muscle disorders

Adjustable beds designed to ease muscle weakness, support safer movement and protect independence.

Key Features

Reduce muscle stiffness
with adjustable positioning

Independently raise/lower the back and leg rest sections into therapeutic positions:

Elevating legs improves circulation for ALS/SMA patients prone to spasms
Eases breathing. Semi-upright position assists weakened diaphragm muscles (e.g., muscular dystrophy)
Assists carers by making smooth adjustments for easier repositioning

What type of beds include this feature:

Ease getting in and out
with high-low adjustment

Raise and lower the bed for safer transfers and to reduce dangerous falls from the bed:

Slide safely into wheelchairs even with full leg weakness when match the bed to wheelchair height (helpful for ALS/Spinal Muscular Atrophy)
Reduces fall impact if legs suddenly give way – common with Sarcopenia (Age-Related Muscle Loss)
Raising the bed up reduces back strain for carers when lifting users

What type of beds include this feature:

Opera profiling beds

Stay independent and
supported with side rails

Rails act as a guide and provide stability where it's needed most, without feeling confined:

Safe Repositioning & Transfers – Use rails as grip aids to sit up or shift positions without straining weakened muscles (ideal for muscular dystrophy/SMA).
Protection During Spasms – Prevents accidental rolls or falls for those with ALS tremors or involuntary moments
Caregiver-Friendly Access – Detach one section for assistance while keeping other sides secure (no full rail removal needed).

FAQs

ALS is the most common form of Motor Neurone Disease, so when it comes to buying the best bed to promote quality of life, it’s important you buy an electric adjustable bed that can be repositioned to ensure adequate support.

As ALS progresses, symptoms like muscle weakness can increase, so rotating chair beds can make transfers to wheelchairs safer and easier for the user and their caregiver.

Muscular dystrophy is a progressive disease that causes muscle weakness, so it’s important you buy a bed that can adapt to the challenges of the condition.

As symptoms advance, users will need to spend longer periods in bed, making them more susceptible to pressure sores. For example, a combination of a profiling care bed that can be adjusted at the head and legs to increase comfort, and a pressure care mattress will provide support and comfort.

Our beds are designed to adapt as muscle weakness progresses. In early stages, features like adjustable positioning help
compensate for stiffness and make transfers safer. As mobility declines, ultra-low heights (like our 11cm Solo bed) prevent dangerous falls, while pressure relieving mattresses protect skin. Every bed is eligible for a 10-night trial, so you can test how it works for your specific needs.
