What our customers say about us …
Why Buy our Profiling Beds and Mattresses?
Customisable Comfort: Our profiling beds feature adjustable bases that let you elevate your head or feet, providing tailored support for your unique sleeping preferences. Coupled with our profiling mattresses, you can experience a level of comfort that traditional mattresses simply cannot offer.
Health Benefits: Both profiling beds and mattresses are designed to enhance your well-being. By allowing for optimal positioning, they can help alleviate back pain, improve circulation, and provide relief for those with medical conditions.
Choosing the Right Profiling Bed and Mattress
When selecting your profiling bed and mattress combination, consider the following:
- Compatibility: Ensure that your chosen mattress is compatible with the profiling bed to achieve the best support and comfort.
- Material Preference: Evaluate the different materials available for profiling mattresses to find the one that suits your comfort level and sleeping habits.
- Firmness: Select a mattress with the right firmness for your sleeping position to ensure proper alignment and support.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a foam and an air (alternating) pressure mattress?
A foam pressure mattress, such as the ICON Essential or ICON Excel, redistributes weight statically and suits lower-risk or basic care. An alternating air mattress, like the Ares range, uses a pump to inflate and deflate cells in cycles, actively relieving pressure for users at higher risk of pressure sores.
How do I choose the right pressure care mattress for someone's risk level?
Match the mattress to the person’s pressure-sore risk: a foam mattress suits basic or lower-risk care, while alternating air mattresses are designed for those at medium-to-high or high risk. Many air models include a CPR knob for rapid deflation in an emergency and the team can advise based on the user’s needs.
What weight do your profiling beds and mattresses support?
Profiling beds support up to around 215kg on the Cura 2 and 235kg on the Community Profiling Bed. Mattresses span roughly 110kg to 250kg, including the ICON Essential (110–140kg), Ares 5 (160kg), Ares 8 (180kg), ICON Excel (247.6kg) and Ares 4 and Pro Turn (250kg), with bariatric options for heavier users.
Can a profiling bed help prevent someone sliding down the bed or developing pressure sores?
Yes, profiling beds like the Cura 2 use auto-contour positioning and 4-way electric profiling to prevent the user sliding down, while also allowing independent head, knee and foot elevation to relieve pressure and improve circulation. The Ergonomic Profiling Bed specifically reduces shear and friction forces that cause skin breakdown and is supplied with a pressure care foam mattress included as standard.
Do your profiling beds have battery back-up for a power cut?
Some do. The Cura 2 profiling bed, for example, offers an optional battery back-up, so the bed can still be adjusted during a power cut. This keeps the user comfortable and safe even when the mains supply is interrupted.
Do profiling beds and mattresses qualify for VAT relief and can I pay monthly?
Yes. Bought for someone with a disability or long-term health condition, profiling beds and mattresses can qualify for VAT relief, removed at checkout for eligible customers, with charities qualifying via a charity number. The cost can also be spread over up to 12 months through PayItMonthly, subject to eligibility.
Can a profiling bed be used at home, or is it only for hospitals and care homes?
Yes, profiling beds like the Ergonomic Profiling Bed and Community Profiling Bed are specifically designed for home use, with easy storage, transport-friendly design and adjustable height for safer transfers by a family carer. Hospital-grade pressure care is available at home without the need for a care home admission.
Can I hire a profiling bed instead of buying one?
Yes, profiling beds with pressure care mattresses are available to hire on short or long-term terms, with delivery and setup at your home by Adapt A Home’s trained engineers. View care-at-home rental packages or call 020 8191 3247 to confirm availability for your dates.
What is the difference between a profiling bed and a standard adjustable bed?
A standard adjustable bed changes head and foot angle for comfort and sleep preference, while a profiling bed independently adjusts head, knee and foot positions to clinical specifications for pressure care, repositioning and safer transfers. Profiling beds also adjust in overall height for carer access, which standard adjustable beds don’t offer and are built to support higher weights with pressure care mattresses.
Are profiling beds suitable for someone recovering from a stroke or neurological condition?
Yes, profiling beds are widely used for stroke recovery and neurological conditions where positioning, pressure care and safe repositioning are critical. The ability to independently elevate the head for breathing, raise the knees to prevent sliding and adjust height for carer-assisted transfers makes a profiling bed one of the most important pieces of equipment for home-based neurological recovery and long-term care.
