Nursing Bed

Ultra-Low Electric Care Bed Designed for Home-Like Elderly Care

Long-term elderly care requires a different balance from conventional short-term hospital care. The bed needs to provide practical positioning functions for caregivers while also creating a comfortable, less institutional environment for the person using it every day.

This ultra-low electric care bed combines an approximately 100 mm minimum platform height with electric vertical lifting up to approximately 500 mm. Backrest adjustment, knee positioning, Trendelenburg and reverse Trendelenburg functions provide additional flexibility, while the foldable frame and wood-finish head and foot panels make the design particularly suitable for residential-style care environments.

Only 100 mm from the Floor at Its Lowest Position

An Exceptionally Low Resting Height

The most distinctive feature of this model is the ability to lower the mattress platform to approximately 100 mm above floor level. This is considerably lower than the resting height of many conventional electric care beds.

For elderly users with reduced mobility or an increased risk of falling from bed, reducing the height of the sleeping surface can help reduce the potential consequences of an accidental bedside fall. The ultra-low position can therefore form part of a broader fall-risk management strategy determined by the caregiver or care provider.

Low Height without Giving Up Electric Adjustment

Choosing an ultra-low bed does not mean sacrificing the positioning functions expected from an advanced electric care bed. The same platform still provides powered backrest, knee, height and whole-bed tilt adjustments for different stages of daily care.

Raise the Bed to 500 mm When Care Is Required

A Wide 100–500 mm Height Range

A very low position may be desirable while the user is resting, but it is not necessarily the most practical height for every care activity. For this reason, the complete platform can be electrically raised from approximately 100 mm to approximately 500 mm.

Caregivers can raise the bed before assisting with personal care, changing bedding or carrying out other bedside tasks, and then return it to a lower position afterward according to the user's care requirements.

One Bed for Two Different Height Priorities

This wide adjustment range allows the same bed to address two different requirements: a very low platform when proximity to the floor is preferred and a substantially higher platform when better caregiver access is needed.

Vertical Lifting Helps Preserve Room Space

Near-Straight Up-and-Down Movement

The bed uses a vertical hi-low structure. As the complete platform changes height, it moves predominantly upward and downward rather than producing substantial movement toward the head or foot end.

By minimizing horizontal displacement during height adjustment, the design provides a more predictable footprint around the bed.

Practical for Smaller Care Rooms

This characteristic can be particularly useful where the bed is positioned near a wall, bedside cabinet or other furniture. The user does not need a large amount of additional longitudinal space simply to accommodate the bed's normal height-adjustment movement.

Five Electric Functions for Everyday Positioning

Backrest Adjustment: 0°–75° ±5°

The back section can be electrically elevated from a horizontal position to approximately 75 degrees. This supports different upper-body positions for meals, reading, communication, television viewing and assisted daily activities.

Knee-Rest Adjustment: 0°–40° ±5°

The knee section provides powered adjustment through approximately 0–40 degrees. It can be operated independently or together with the backrest to create different supported resting positions.

Whole-Bed Height Adjustment: 100–500 mm

The complete sleeping platform can move through an approximately 400 mm height range, transitioning between the ultra-low resting position and the raised care position.

Trendelenburg Adjustment: 0°–12° ±2°

The complete mattress platform provides Trendelenburg positioning through approximately 0–12 degrees, expanding the available whole-bed positioning options.

Reverse Trendelenburg Adjustment: 0°–12° ±2°

Reverse Trendelenburg movement provides approximately 0–12 degrees of tilt in the opposite direction. These whole-platform movements complement the independently adjustable back and knee sections.

Fold the Bed When It Is Not Needed

Space-Saving Foldable Structure

A conventional electric care bed continues to occupy its complete floor area even when it is temporarily unused. This model uses a foldable frame that can be converted into a substantially more compact configuration for storage.

Useful for Home and Community Care Equipment Management

Where a bed is used temporarily during rehabilitation or extended recovery, the ability to fold the structure provides a practical advantage once the equipment is removed from active service.

Suitable for Rental Providers

Home healthcare and care-bed rental companies regularly move equipment between users. A foldable design can make returned beds easier to organize during cleaning, inspection and storage between rental periods.

Better Storage Efficiency for Distributors

For distributors holding multiple beds in inventory, the compact folded configuration can also help improve warehouse space utilization compared with storing every bed fully extended.

A Warmer Alternative to a Conventional Hospital-Style Bed

Residential-Style Wood-Finish Panels

The large wood-finish head and foot panels give the bed a warmer visual character than conventional medical beds using predominantly clinical plastic components.

This is especially relevant in long-term and residential care, where the bed becomes part of the user's everyday living environment rather than equipment used only during a short hospital stay.

Designed to Integrate with Home-Like Interiors

The exterior can fit more naturally alongside residential furniture and care-room interiors, making the bed suitable for elderly care environments seeking professional functionality with a less institutional appearance.

Electric Operation for Frequent Daily Adjustment

Four Electric Actuators

The bed uses four electric actuators to provide its powered positioning movements. Electric operation makes repeated adjustments more convenient than manually operated crank mechanisms when positions need to be changed frequently throughout the day.

Wired Handset Control

A wired handset provides convenient access to the electric functions, allowing the bed position to be changed without manually operating mechanical controls.

Durable Structure for Long-Term Care

Epoxy-Coated Steel Frame

The main supporting structure is manufactured from epoxy-coated steel to provide a stable foundation for repeated electric height and position adjustment.

Articulated Steel Mattress Platform

The mattress support area uses an articulated steel structure that follows the movements of the adjustable back and knee sections while maintaining continuous support for the mattress.

Double-Sided Casters with Individual Brakes

Four double-sided casters allow the bed to be repositioned when required. Individual brakes are provided to secure the bed after it has reached the intended location.

Who Should Consider This Ultra-Low Care Bed?

Residential Elderly Care

The combination of ultra-low positioning and a home-like exterior makes the model particularly relevant where an older user requires a higher level of care while remaining in a residential-style environment.

Assisted Living Facilities

Facilities can benefit from the wide electric height range while maintaining a warmer room appearance than conventional hospital equipment.

Long-Term Home Care Programs

Where professional or family caregivers provide extended assistance outside an acute hospital environment, the multiple electric positions provide greater flexibility for different stages of daily care.

Home Healthcare Equipment Rental

The foldable structure gives rental providers an additional operational advantage when beds need to be transported, returned and stored between users.

Standard Electric Care Bed or Ultra-Low Bed?

Choose a Standard Care Bed When...

The primary requirement is conventional backrest, leg and height adjustment and an exceptionally low sleeping position is not required.

Consider an Ultra-Low Bed When...

The care plan benefits from positioning the sleeping platform much closer to floor level while still requiring the ability to raise the complete bed electrically for caregiver access.

This model becomes particularly distinctive when ultra-low height is combined with vertical lifting and a foldable frame. Buyers can compare additional configurations in our Nursing Bed range according to the intended care environment.
