Buying guide
A few quick checks will help you find a profiling bed that suits your space, needs and care routine.
Two-section beds offer head and foot adjustment, while three or four-section beds add knee or lateral positioning for more flexibility.
Consider whether you need a low-height setting to reduce fall risk, or a higher setting to make carer tasks like washing and dressing easier.
Look for a mattress designed to flex with the bed's sections, rather than a standard sprung mattress, to maintain comfort and support.
Consider whether a simple corded handset suits your needs, or whether carer-lockable controls would be helpful for safety.

Common questions
Answers to some of the questions we're asked most often about profiling beds.
A profiling bed has a base made up of several sections, usually including the head, knee and foot, which can be raised or lowered independently using an electric handset. This makes it easier to find a comfortable position, sit up, or assist with everyday tasks.
A profiling bed allows several sections to be adjusted independently, giving more positioning options. A standard adjustable bed usually offers fewer adjustment points, often just head and foot height.
Many profiling beds offer a low-height setting, allowing the bed to be lowered closer to the floor, which can help reduce the risk or impact of a fall. Available height ranges vary between models, so it's worth checking the specification if this is a priority.
Yes, profiling beds generally need a mattress designed to flex with the bed's sections, rather than a standard sprung mattress. Using an incompatible mattress can affect comfort and may put extra strain on the bed mechanism.
Most profiling beds are designed to be compatible with bed rails, but fitting methods can vary between models. It's worth checking the specific bed rail's compatibility with your profiling bed before ordering.
