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.

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.

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.

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.
