About this equipment
The case for an electric bed is not luxury, it is repetition. Where the head of the bed goes up and down a dozen times a day — for meals, for reflux, for breathlessness, for washing — a manual crank turns into twenty minutes of work spread across every day, usually done by someone who is already exhausted. A handset removes that, and it lets a patient with working hands adjust themselves without calling anyone. Height adjustment brings the platform to the carer's waist for washing and changing, which is the single biggest protection against carer back injury.
Indications — when this is used
- Long-term home care for a bedbound patient
- Patients who need frequent backrest adjustment for breathing or feeding
- Households where the carer is elderly or has back problems
- Patients able to reposition themselves given a handset
Who it is for
- Families in long-term home care arrangements
- Nursing homes and assisted living facilities
- Patients with chronic conditions needing daily positioning

The things that are easy to find out too late.
Sale only
The rental fleet carries the manual hospital bed and the ICU bed. This one is available to buy — if you need an electric bed short-term, ask us and we will tell you what the rental fleet can do instead.
Handset lockout matters
A confused or agitated patient will press buttons. The lockout exists so they cannot put themselves in an unsafe position; use it.
Still needs a pressure mattress
The included foam mattress is a sleeping surface. Continuously bedbound patients need an alternating-pressure overlay on top.
Mind the cable
The mains lead is a trip hazard in a room where carers move at night. Route it along the wall at installation, not across the floor.
Safety & clinical information
Device information, not medical advice. Suitability for a particular patient is a decision for the treating clinician.
How it is installed and used
Delivered in sections and assembled in the room where it will be used. The technician levels the frame, fits the mattress and side rails, connects the controls, and demonstrates every position until the carer has operated each one unaided. Castors are locked once the bed is placed, leaving carer access on both sides.
Before delivery
Confirm the patient's weight is within the frame's safe working load, that the doorway clears 800 mm, and that the room allows roughly 2.6 m × 1.8 m with access on both sides. Patients immobile for more than 16 hours a day should have an alternating-pressure mattress arranged at the same time.
Ongoing care and servicing
Repositioning every two hours remains a nursing requirement — the bed assists it, it does not replace it. Side rails must be raised whenever the patient is unattended. Rental units are stripped, detergent-washed, disinfected and inspected against the manufacturer's reprocessing instructions between patients.
When not to use it
- Body weight above the rated safe working load
- Every frame states a maximum load including the mattress. Above it, a bariatric bed is required — the frame is not simply 'a bit overloaded'.
- Patients at risk of entrapment between rails
- Side rails carry a recognised entrapment risk for agitated or very slight patients. The rail gap must be assessed by the treating clinician before rails are used continuously.
Possible side effects
- Pressure ulcers
- A standard foam mattress does not prevent pressure sores in a continuously bedbound patient. Add an alternating-pressure mattress and keep to a turning schedule.
- Limb or digit pinch injury
- Fingers and IV lines can be caught in the backrest and knee-rest mechanism while it is moving. Check clearance before operating the control.
Serious risks
Life-threatening, permanently damaging, or requiring hospitalisation.
- Fall from bed
- Falls from a raised bed with the rails lowered can cause fracture or head injury and frequently require hospitalisation.
- Patient entrapment in side rails
- Entrapment of the head, neck or chest between rail bars, or between rail and mattress, can cause asphyxiation.
Regulatory status

Frequently asked questions
Is an electric hospital bed worth it over a manual one?
It is worth it when the bed is adjusted many times a day, when the carer is elderly or has back trouble, or when the patient can operate the handset themselves. For a stable patient whose position rarely changes, a manual bed does the same clinical job.
Does an electric bed work during a power cut?
There is a battery backup for repositioning and a manual crank as a fallback, so the bed can still be moved. It does not power anything else in the room.
