Apollo Ultra Low Profiling Floor Bed

Apollo Ultra Low Profiling Floor Bed Hire

Hire the Apollo Ultra Low Profiling Floor Bed, a specialist floor-level profiling bed designed to dramatically reduce the risk of injury from falls while delivering full electric profiling functionality for patients and carers alike.

With a platform that lowers to just 7cm from the floor, this bed is a great choice for people at high risk of rolling or falling out of bed, and it suits a wide range of care settings including care homes, hospitals, and home care environments.

What is an Ultra Low Profiling Floor Bed? 

An ultra low profiling floor bed is a specialist care bed that combines two functions in one frame. It offers the near-floor positioning of a traditional floor bed alongside the electric adjustment of a standard profiling bed, so carers get full clinical control without giving up the safety benefits of a low sleeping surface.

This dual function is what sets a floor bed apart from a standard profiling bed, which typically sits much higher and offers no dedicated floor setting.

The Apollo Ultra Low Profiling Floor Bed is built for situations where floor height and safe repositioning both matter. The section below covers exactly how low it goes and why that matters.

Ultra Low Floor Height for Maximum Fall Prevention

Lowering a patient’s sleeping surface close to the ground is one of the most effective ways to reduce the severity of injury if they roll or fall from the bed. This makes floor-level positioning especially valuable for patients living with dementia, those at high risk of falls, and individuals in palliative or end-of-life care, where even a short fall can cause serious harm.

The Apollo Ultra Low Profiling Floor Bed lowers to just 7cm from the floor, putting it among the lowest platforms available on hire. When raised for care tasks, the bed reaches a maximum height of 67cm, giving carers a comfortable working height without compromising patient safety.

The total height adjustment range of 60cm means the bed adapts quickly to the needs of both the user and the carer throughout the day.

Full Electric Profiling Functions for User Comfort

Despite its floor-level capabilities, the Apollo Ultra Low Profiling Floor Bed does not compromise on profiling functionality. The bed features electrically operated backrest, knee break, height, and tilt adjustments, all controlled through a simple and intuitive hand control. The backrest adjusts to an angle of up to 70 degrees, and the leg support reaches 35 degrees, allowing a wide range of comfortable positions for resting, sleeping, and personal care.

The anti-Trendelenburg tilt function provides additional positioning support where clinically required. Because all functions are electric, both patients and carers can make adjustments easily and safely without any manual effort. The bed also comfortably supports users up to 27.5 stone (175kg), making it a reliable choice across a broad range of care needs.

Auto-Regression and Auto-Contour for Safer Profiling

Two of the most important clinical features on this ultra low profiling floor bed are the auto-regression function and the auto-contour function. The auto-regression function synchronises the backrest and knee break movements during profiling, which reduces friction and shear forces on the sacral area, helping to protect skin integrity and lower the risk of pressure injuries during repositioning.

The auto-contour function raises the backrest and leg support simultaneously, allowing for effortless positioning that prevents the patient from sliding down the bed. Together, these two features make the Apollo Ultra Low Profiling Floor Bed a strong choice for patients with complex care needs or skin vulnerability.

Built-In Safety Features That Protect Users and Carers

Safety is central to the design of the Apollo Ultra Low Profiling Floor Bed. A dedicated ground button on the hand control lowers the bed to the optimum 7cm floor position, while a safety stop mechanism automatically halts the lowering process at a set point to help prevent the entrapment of feet or limbs beneath the bed frame.

This keeps both the user and carers safe during height adjustments. The bed also features individually lockable castors, which enhance stability during use and allow the bed to be moved and re-positioned safely when needed.

Optional Accessories for Enhanced Care

The Apollo Ultra Low Profiling Floor Bed can be further adapted to meet individual care needs through a range of optional accessories available on request. These include side rails with mesh bumper for additional fall protection and a length extension kit for the floor bed including side rails. If you are unsure which accessories are most suitable for your situation, our team is always happy to help.
