Here is a plain guide to the three main types so you can find the right fit. Profiling Beds (Head and Leg Raise) A profiling bed uses one or more motors to raise and lower the head section, the leg section, or both. This lets you find a comfortable sleeping or resting position without needing extra pillows or help from someone else. Profiling beds are popular for people who spend time in bed during the day, those recovering from surgery, or anyone who finds getting comfortable at night more difficult than it used to be. Key things to check: the number of motors (a dual-motor bed moves the head and legs independently), the remote control size and simplicity, and whether the bed height suits transfers. Hi Lo Beds (Height-Adjustable) A hi lo bed changes the height of the entire bed frame at the touch of a button. Lower it close to the floor for safe, easy entry and exit. Raise it so a carer can assist comfortably without bending. Hi lo beds are particularly useful after a hip or knee replacement, or when a carer is helping with transfers and personal care. Most hi lo beds adjust from roughly 35 cm to 75 cm in height. Check the specific range for the model you are considering. Combination Profiling and Hi Lo Beds Many of the beds in our range combine both features: they raise the head and legs for positioning, and also lower and raise the overall bed height. A combination bed gives you the most flexibility and is often the preferred recommendation from occupational therapists for home care use. How to Choose the Right Adjustable Bed Here is wh
