Beds and pressure care
Last updated: 5 October 2026 · Total: 5 products
People who spend long hours in bed need a surface that adjusts and protects the skin. Profiling beds such as the Invacare Etude Plus raise the backrest and knees and change overall height electrically, which helps both the user and the carer. Pressure-relief mattresses fall into static types, including air-cell overlays like the ROHO Dry Floatation system, and powered alternating systems such as the Arjo Nimbus 4 that inflate and deflate cells in a cycle. Positioning aids, including turning systems and wedges, hold or change a lying posture. Pressure-care surfaces are selected with a clinician.

How to choose
- Confirm that the mattress dimensions and weight are approved for the bed frame you intend to use.
- Minimum bed height matters for transfers and safety; maximum height matters for the carer's back.
- Powered mattresses make pump noise and need mains power, so ask what happens in a power cut.
- Check user weight limits for both the bed and the mattress, since they are rated separately.
Common questions
What is a profiling bed?
It is a bed with a mattress platform divided into sections that move independently, usually by electric motors. The backrest and knee section can be raised, and the whole bed can go up and down.
What is an alternating pressure mattress?
It is a mattress with air cells connected to a pump. Groups of cells inflate and deflate in turn, so the areas of the body that carry weight keep changing.
