Woburn Low Profiling Bed for Enhanced Safety and Comfortable Care

The Woburn Low Profiling Bed is a thoughtfully engineered care bed designed to meet the evolving needs of modern care environments while maintaining a strong focus on user comfort, safety, and ease of operation for carers. Upgraded with high-quality control systems, a reduced platform height and an increased weight capacity, this bed delivers dependable performance in settings where reliability and reassurance are essential. Its purpose-built low-height design allows the platform to lower to just 220mm from the floor, significantly reducing the risk of injury for individuals who may roll out of bed, while also supporting safer access and transfers.

At the heart of the Woburn Low Profiling Bed is its robust construction and carefully considered functionality. The bed frame is engineered to provide long-term durability, backed by a comprehensive warranty, and is suitable for use across a wide range of care sector environments including residential care homes, nursing facilities, rehabilitation centres and supported living settings. The low profiling design offers peace of mind for carers and families alike, as it minimises fall risk without compromising comfort or clinical functionality. For individuals who require additional reassurance at night or are prone to movement during sleep, the ability to lower the bed close to floor level offers a practical and effective solution.

Comfort is a central element of the Woburn Low Profiling Bed’s design. The electric backrest and knee break allow for smooth, precise positioning via a simple handset, enabling users to adjust their posture for resting, reading or social interaction. The mechanical lower leg support works in harmony with the profiling functions to promote natural leg alignment and comfort during extended periods in bed. Optional auto-regression further enhances the seated position by allowing the backrest to slide gently as it rises, reducing pressure on the abdomen and minimising the feeling of being compressed. This helps to support comfort during repositioning and can contribute to better posture when sitting upright.

The bed’s adjustable height range, from 220mm to 650mm, supports safer caregiving routines by allowing carers to raise the bed to a more suitable working height. This reduces strain during personal care tasks, repositioning and transfers, helping to promote safer manual handling practices. When lowered, the bed supports user confidence and reassurance, particularly for those who may feel unsettled in higher beds. This balance between low-height safety and elevated caregiving access makes the Woburn Low Profiling Bed a versatile solution for a wide range of care requirements.

Safety is further enhanced through a low-voltage power supply, ensuring there is no mains voltage present on the bed chassis. This significantly reduces the risk of electric shock and contributes to overall peace of mind in daily use. An inbuilt emergency battery backup ensures that key functions remain available in the event of a power failure, allowing the bed to be adjusted when it is most needed. The lockable handset prevents accidental operation or unintended adjustments, adding another layer of reassurance for both users and carers.

Optional collapsible side rails are available for the Woburn Low Profiling Bed and are designed with both safety and comfort in mind. The integral 115mm side rails are suitable for use with mattresses up to 8 inches deep and feature a two-handed operation system to prevent accidental release. This design ensures the rails cannot be lowered unintentionally by the bed user. When raised, they provide reassuring support, and when lowered, they allow users to comfortably sit on the edge of the bed without pressure behind the legs or risk of damage to the rails. This thoughtful approach supports dignity and ease of movement during transfers.

The Woburn Low Profiling Bed is also highly adaptable, with a variety of optional finishes available to complement different interior environments.

Padded headboards can be supplied on request, offering additional comfort and protection. The bed’s design reflects an understanding that aesthetics play an important role in wellbeing, particularly in long-term care environments.

Ease of maintenance has been carefully considered. The bed is designed for easy installation and straightforward cleaning, complying with MHRA guidelines to support effective infection control routines. Quick-release actuators, replaceable actuator pistons and a replaceable PCB help to extend the lifespan of the bed by simplifying servicing and reducing downtime. Braked wheel castors provide stability when the bed is stationary and smooth manoeuvrability when repositioning is required, with locks that secure the bed firmly in place once positioned.

To further enhance comfort and clinical suitability, the Woburn Low Profiling Bed is compatible with a wide range of active and static mattresses (sold separately and available on request). This flexibility allows care providers to select a mattress that best meets individual needs, whether the focus is pressure management, comfort or long-term support.

Fully compliant with relevant legislation, the Woburn Low Profiling Bed is a dependable choice for care providers seeking a bed that combines safety, comfort, durability and adaptability. With its thoughtful design features, comprehensive warranty and wide range of optional extras, it supports both high-quality care delivery and a positive day-to-day experience for users and carers alike.
