Electric Adjustable Floor Bed for Home and Community Care
Adjustable, Safe and Versatile Electric Floor Bed for reducing fall risks at home
For those living with mobility challenges or caring for a loved one, the fear of a fall from bed can be a constant source of anxiety. Standard beds are often too high, making a fall more dangerous and transfers more difficult. This can disrupt sleep for both the user and their carer, and reduce confidence in living independently at home. The daily routine of getting in and out of bed can become a strenuous and risky task, requiring significant physical effort and support.
The Electric Adjustable Floor Bed offers a practical and reassuring solution. Its standout feature is the ability to lower to an ultra-low height of just 7.1cm from the floor, dramatically minimising the impact of potential falls. At the touch of a button, the bed can be raised to a comfortable height for safe and easy transfers to a walker or wheelchair. The fully electric backrest and knee-bend functions allow for effortless repositioning, improving comfort for reading or eating in bed. With its simple hand control and stylish beech woodgrain finish, it combines clinical functionality with a design suited for any homecare setting.

Fit, setup and suitability
Before purchasing, it's important to measure your room to ensure the bed's overall dimensions (92.5cm W x 255.5cm L) will fit comfortably, leaving enough space for movement and caregiver access. Confirm that the Safe Working Load of 185kg is suitable for the user and any mattress or accessories. The bed's pull-apart function is designed for easier transport and installation, but it is recommended to have two people for assembly. The locking castors are suitable for most indoor floor surfaces, providing stability when locked.

Electric Adjustable Floor Bed FAQ
How low does the Electric Adjustable Floor Bed go?
This bed can be lowered to an ultra-low height of 71mm (7.1cm) from the floor to the top of the base. This feature is designed to significantly reduce the risk and impact of injury if a user were to roll or fall out of bed.
Is this adjustable floor bed difficult to assemble?
The bed is designed with a pull-apart function that makes transport and installation simpler than many other profiling beds. However, due to its size and weight, it is recommended that setup is performed by two people for safety and ease.
Can I use a standard single mattress on this floor bed?
The sleeping surface is 90cm x 200cm. You should use a mattress that matches these dimensions and is specifically designed for an adjustable bed frame. This ensures the mattress can flex with the backrest and knee-bend functions without being damaged.
Are side rails included with the Electric Adjustable Floor Bed?
Side rails are available as an optional accessory and are not included as standard. You can add integrated, padded side rails that lock securely in place and lower below the mattress level to ensure they do not get in the way of transfers.
