When choosing an electric bed for an elderly person, there are several important factors to consider:
- Adjustability: Look for a bed that can be adjusted in height and position. An adjustable electric bed allows for raising/lowering the head and foot sections, making it easier for the person to get in and out of bed safely.
- Safety features: Consider beds with safety features like:
Side guards for orientation and support
Illuminated controls for nighttime use
Automatic night lights underneath the bed for safe navigation - Appropriate height: The bed should be able to be positioned at a height where the person's feet can touch the ground when sitting on the edge.
- Mobility aids: Ensure there is space for mobility aids like walking sticks near the bed.
- Mattress compatibility: Ensure the bed is compatible with pressure-relieving mattresses to manage declining mobility.
- Size and split options: For couples, consider split companion beds that allow each side to be adjusted independently.
- Special needs accommodation: If the person has specific medical needs (e.g. catheter care, wound care), ensure the bed can accommodate these.
- Room layout: Consider how the bed fits into the overall room layout to allow for safe navigation and access to bathrooms or other areas.
- Comfort features: Look for beds that offer features to address specific health concerns like back pain, sleep apnea, or acid reflux.
Remember to involve the elderly person in the decision-making process if possible, and consider their specific needs, preferences, and any existing health conditions. It's also advisable to consult with healthcare professionals or occupational therapists for personalized recommendations. We always recommend trialling the bed and mattress before purchase.
A floorline bed is a specialized type of adjustable bed designed for individuals who are at risk of falling out of bed. These beds are characterized by their exceptionally low height, allowing the mattress platform to be positioned very close to the ground. This design minimizes the risk of injury from falls, making them ideal for home care and aged care environments.
Key Features of Floorline Beds
- Low Height: Floorline beds can be adjusted to a very low position, which reduces the potential for injury if a user falls out of bed. The Xcel3pro bed for example, features a lowest height of 110mm.
- Electric Adjustability: These beds are equipped with electric mechanisms that allow users to adjust the height, backrest, and knee position with ease. This functionality aids in comfort and accessibility for both users and caregivers.
- Safety Features: Many floorline beds include features such as auto-stop functions to prevent accidents during height adjustments and options for additional safety accessories like clamp rails.
- Versatility: Most models can be converted from a floorline configuration to a standard bed height, accommodating various care needs. They are suitable for both high and low care clients.
- Design and Aesthetics: Floorline beds often have a more appealing design, with wooden bed ends and options for customization to fit home decor, while still maintaining functionality for care settings. The Xcel3pro floorline beds come in wooden and upholstered bed ends.
Applications
Floorline beds are particularly beneficial for:
- Elderly Patients: Those who may have mobility issues or are at risk of falls benefit from the low height and adjustability.
- Post-Surgery Recovery: Patients recovering from surgery may require beds that can easily adjust to different positions for comfort and ease of movement.
- Home Care: Caregivers find these beds easier to manage due to their low height and electric adjustments, which can reduce strain during patient care.
Floorline beds provide a safe, adjustable sleeping solution for individuals with specific health needs, enhancing comfort and reducing fall risks.

Some bedroom aids are specifically designed to assist individuals in getting in and out of bed. For example, bed rails prevent falls and slips during sleep, while also providing support when getting in and out of bed. Other assistive remedies such as over bed frames give the user an extra support to steady themselves, helping them to re-position in bed.
An electric profiling bed is a bed that is split into sections, which can be adjusted using a control panel to suit the user’s positioning needs. By pressing a button on the handset, you can adjust the bed into positions like comfort seating, vascular support, knee break, and Trendelenburg, all of which offer unique benefits for pressure care and daily activities. Profiling beds are great for use at home or in hospitals and are available in many different sizes to suit your bedroom.
Not all bed rails can be installed on every type of bed frame. Compatibility is influenced by several factors, including the bed's design, size, and frame type. Talk to us about finding the right bed rail for your needs. Send us a message with a picture of your bed.
