Electric High Low Adjustable Care Bed with Backrest and Kneebend
Versatile, Supportive and Adjustable Electric Care Bed for Home and Community Care
Finding a bed that provides safety and comfort without feeling clinical can be a challenge. For those with changing mobility needs, getting in and out of a standard bed can become risky, and carers often face the physical strain of assisting at an awkward height. The constant worry about falls can disrupt sleep and reduce a person’s sense of independence at home.
The Electric High Low Adjustable Care Bed is designed to address these daily challenges. Its key feature is the high-low vertical lift, allowing the bed to be lowered to just 31cm for safe and easy transfers, and raised up to 75.5cm for carers to provide assistance without bending. Combined with an electric backrest and kneebend, it allows you to find the perfect position for sleeping, resting, or sitting up for meals. With a built-in battery backup and sturdy construction, this bed offers peace of mind and practical support for both users and their carers in any home or care environment.
Why choose this electric care bed?
- Enhance Safety: The adjustable high-low function significantly reduces the risk of falls during transfers and minimises the need for restraints.
- Personalised Comfort: Find your ideal position for rest or activity with an easy-to-use electric backrest and kneebend.
- Carer-Friendly Design: The vertical lift raises the bed to a comfortable working height for carers, reducing back strain during assistance.
- Uninterrupted Operation: A built-in battery backup ensures the bed remains fully functional during a power outage.
- Adaptable Sizing: A built-in 20cm length extension caters to taller individuals, ensuring a comfortable fit for everyone.
- Stable and Secure: Central locking castors keep the bed firmly in place when needed, and allow it to be moved easily for cleaning.
How the electric care bed is used day to day
- Lowering the bed to its minimum height to confidently get in and out of bed.

- Lifting the bed to a suitable height for a carer to provide assistance or change linens.

Fit, setup and suitability
Before purchasing, it's important to ensure this bed is the right fit for your space and needs. Measure the intended room to confirm that the bed's overall dimensions (90cm or 107cm width and 208cm length) will leave enough clear space for movement and caregiver access. This bed requires a standard electrical outlet to operate its functions. The central locking castors are suitable for most common indoor flooring types, including carpet, tiles, and vinyl. The simple push-release system is designed for ease of use by both the user and any assisting carers.

Care and maintenance
To keep your care bed in optimal condition, regularly wipe down the frame and removable boards with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals. Periodically check that the castors are free from dust and debris to ensure they roll and lock smoothly. We recommend a general inspection of all moving parts and electrical cords to ensure they remain in good working order.
