Our Range of Premium Care Beds for Hospital Bed Hire Ashford
A profiling bed, also known as a hospital bed, is an electric care bed that allows the operator to adjust the overall height of the bed as well as the backrest and legrest of the mattress platform. All adjustments are made through a handset control that can be used by the patient or by a carer. We offer a range of bed types to suit different needs and home environments.
Bed Type | Key Features | Best For |
Standard Height Profiling Bed | Raises to nursing height (approx. 70-80cm from floor) | Carers who need to provide care at a comfortable waist height without bending |
Low Profiling Bed | Lowers closer to the floor (approx. 20-25cm) | Users at risk of falls or those who struggle to swing their legs into bed |
All-in-One Height Bed | Combines low and standard ranges (15-80cm) | Families needing maximum flexibility; one bed for both safety and nursing care |
Wide/Bariatric Profiling Bed | Available in widths from 3ft6 to 6ft | Users who need extra space or have higher weight capacity requirements |
How an Electric Profiling Bed Supports You and Your Loved One
Caring for someone at home is demanding, both physically and emotionally. A standard bed is not designed for care, and it can make every task harder than it needs to be. An electric profiling bed is different.
Feature | How It Helps You and Your Loved One |
Backrest adjustment | Your loved one can sit up comfortably for meals, reading, or chatting with visitors. It also makes breathing easier and reduces the risk of chest infections. |
Legrest/knee-break adjustment | Elevating the legs reduces swelling, improves circulation, and can provide real relief from discomfort during long periods in bed. |
Full height adjustment | This is about protecting you. Raising the bed to a comfortable level means you do not have to bend or stoop when providing care, reducing strain on your back. |
Quiet operation | The motors are smooth and whisper quiet. No noisy grinding or jerky movements, just gentle adjustment that will not disturb a sleeping loved one. |
What Our Hospital Bed Hire Ashford Includes
The bed itself. A modern electric profiling bed that raises, lowers, and reclines quietly. The controls are simple and intuitive.
The mattress. A pressure relief mattress that is not the same as a standard foam one. It is designed to reduce the risk of pressure sores during long periods in bed. If an air-flow mattress is needed for pressure care, we can provide that as an upgrade.
The safety rails. Full length rails that are secure but easy to lower when you need to help someone in or out of bed. They provide peace of mind without feeling institutional.
The overbed table. Handy for meals, drinks, books, or anything else that needs to stay within reach.
The delivery and installation. A two-person team delivers, assembles, positions, and demonstrates. They take all packaging away.
The demonstration. We show you how to use the handset, how to adjust the bed height, and how to lower the rails. We do this until you are comfortable.
The ongoing support. If you have questions later, you can call us. We still know who you are and what you hired.
