Woburn Ultra Low 800 Profiling Bed for Advanced Safety and Carer Support

The Woburn Ultra Low 800 Profiling Bed is a thoughtfully engineered, four-section profiling bed designed to support safe care delivery while enhancing comfort and practicality for both the occupant and the carer. Built to meet the demands of modern healthcare settings, this ultra-low bed offers an outstanding height range, lowering to just 90mm from the floor while also rising to an impressive 800mm nursing height. This wide adjustment range makes the bed suitable for individuals who may be at higher risk of rolling from bed, as well as carers who require ergonomic working positions to reduce strain during daily care tasks.

At its lowest setting, the Woburn Ultra Low 800 significantly reduces the likelihood of injury should a person roll out of bed. The ultra-low platform height offers reassurance in environments where fall prevention is a priority, including care homes, rehabilitation units, and home care settings. When combined with optional accessories such as a foam fall mat or the Guardian Wireless Alarm System, the bed becomes part of a comprehensive risk management approach that prioritises safety without compromising dignity or comfort.

Equally important is the bed’s ability to rise smoothly to a full 800mm nursing height, allowing carers to attend to personal care, repositioning, clinical assessments, and transfers with greater ease. This elevated height reduces bending and awkward postures, helping to support safer manual handling practices and minimise physical strain for care staff. The smooth electronic height adjustment ensures transitions between low and high positions are controlled, stable, and quiet, contributing to a calm care environment.

The four-section profiling platform enables tailored positioning of the backrest, knee break, and lower leg support, all controlled electronically via a lockable handset. This allows carers to adjust the bed precisely while preventing unintended operation. The backrest and knee break work together to promote comfortable seated and semi-seated positions, supporting activities such as reading, eating, or social interaction. An integrated auto-regression system helps to reduce pressure and shear by allowing the mattress to move in harmony with the occupant as the backrest is raised, enhancing comfort during prolonged periods in bed.

The Trendelenburg function, supplied as standard, adds further versatility to the bed’s clinical positioning capabilities. This feature allows the bed to tilt to support specific care or therapeutic requirements, offering added flexibility for healthcare professionals. Optional bed levels, integrated lighting, and additional accessories can also be supplied on request, enabling the bed to be configured to meet individual care needs and room layouts.

Design details such as the low-profile wooden head and foot boards have been carefully considered to enhance access during care. When the bed is raised to nursing height, the reduced height of the boards allows carers to work more effectively at both ends of the bed, improving visibility and reach during clinical tasks or routine care. The wooden finish contributes to a more domestic, less clinical appearance, which can help create a calmer and more welcoming environment for the occupant.

Safety remains central to the design of the Woburn Ultra Low 800 Profiling Bed, particularly in the construction of its side rail systems. The side rails require a two-handed operation to raise or lower, ensuring they cannot be released accidentally or operated unintentionally by the bed occupant. One hand must lift the rail slightly while the other performs the release action, providing an additional layer of security. This careful design makes the side rails among the most secure available, offering reassurance to carers while maintaining ease of use during routine care.

The bed operates on a low-voltage power supply, meaning there is no mains voltage present on the bed chassis. This significantly reduces the risk of electric shock and enhances overall electrical safety. In the event of a power failure, an emergency battery backup allows essential bed functions to continue operating, ensuring that the occupant can still be repositioned or raised if required.

Benefits

• Reduces the risk of injury from bed falls
• Supports safer working heights for carers

Hygiene and infection control are also key considerations. The Woburn Ultra Low 800 Profiling Bed is designed for easy cleaning and complies with MHRA guidelines, supporting high standards of cleanliness in clinical and care environments. Smooth surfaces and accessible components help to reduce cleaning time while maintaining effective infection control procedures.

To further enhance comfort and pressure management, the bed is compatible with a wide range of active and static mattresses (sold separately and available on request). This extensive mattress compatibility allows the bed to be paired with solutions tailored to individual pressure care requirements, clinical needs, and comfort preferences.

Durability and long-term reliability are reinforced through a comprehensive warranty package. The bed frame is covered by a 7-year warranty, while the woodwork and electrical components are supported by a 5-year warranty. This level of coverage reflects confidence in the quality of materials and construction, offering peace of mind to providers investing in long-term care equipment.

Overall, the Woburn Ultra Low 800 Profiling Bed delivers a balanced combination of ultra-low safety, advanced profiling functionality, and carer-friendly ergonomics. Its thoughtful design supports safe care delivery, occupant comfort, and practical daily use across a wide range of care settings. By combining robust engineering, flexible positioning, and a strong focus on safety, this bed provides a dependable solution for environments where both protection and practicality are essential.
