A low bed is a specially designed hospital bed that can be lowered close to floor level to reduce fall risk for elderly, confused or high-dependency patients. With adjustable height, strong side rails, lockable wheels and easy-clean construction, it combines safety, comfort and practicality. Ideal for hospitals, nursing homes and home care, it supports safer mobility, better caregiver ergonomics and a more protective healing environment.
Description
A low bed, also known as a low hospital bed or floor-level bed, is purpose-built to reduce the risk and severity of patient falls while maintaining comfort and accessibility. Designed with an ultra-low height close to the floor, it is ideal for patients who are confused, restless, frail, or at high risk of rolling out of bed. By minimizing the distance between the mattress and the floor, this bed supports a safer care environment without relying solely on physical restraints.
Most low beds feature an adjustable height range, allowing caregivers to work at a comfortable level during treatment and then lower the bed for resting or unattended periods. Sturdy side rails or assist bars provide added security and support during turning, repositioning, or transfers. Smooth-rolling lockable castors enable easy movement within the room, while a robust steel or alloy frame ensures stability and durability under continuous clinical use. Surfaces are generally designed for easy cleaning to meet hospital hygiene standards.
Key features and benefits include:
-
Ultra-low height to help reduce fall-related injuries
-
Adjustable elevation for safer nursing care and easier transfers
-
Integrated side rails or supports for added safety
-
Strong frame construction suitable for long-term use
-
Lockable wheels for stability during care activities
-
Easy-to-clean design to support infection control
Low beds are widely used in hospitals, long-term care facilities, rehabilitation centers, hospices and home-care settings. Compared with standard hospital beds, a low bed offers targeted fall-prevention advantages for vulnerable patients, improving safety while maintaining dignity and mobility. Selecting a professional-grade low bed signals that the facility takes patient protection, clinical efficiency and modern best practices seriously.
