Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. The current standard model now includes integrated weigh scales as standard, improved side rail mechanisms, and a strengthened headboard for reduced movement. The manufacturer continues to refine the bed based on direct clinical feedback.

Up to 1100 lbs (500 kg), with width and length adjustment to suit different patient needs, from bariatric use down to a standard-width, ultra-low falls bed.

Yes. Because it adjusts in width and lowers to a near-floor height, the same bed can double as an ultra-low falls-prevention bed or a standard-width bed, giving multi-use flexibility across a ward rather than requiring a dedicated bariatric-only fleet.

VersaDrive is a motorised assist system built into the footboard. Staff apply pressure to the footboard to move the bed in the intended direction, with speed adjusting automatically and an automatic brake engaging the moment pressure is released. It’s designed to reduce manual handling strain, particularly useful on ramps or inclines where a front-mounted drive wheel helps traction.

The bed uses a Class 2A scale. Class 3 devices are the standard required for certifying medication dosing, so this should be factored into any clinical business case where dosing accuracy is a requirement.

Yes. A trolley system allows the bed to be tipped onto its side for storage, significantly reducing its footprint so it can sit neatly in a corridor or storage area rather than occupying full bed space.

Entry-level bariatric beds with integrated scales start from approximately £15,500. Adding the VersaDrive motorised assist system brings this to roughly £20,000. Optional extras include auxiliary power/USB outlets, IV pole and oxygen bottle holders, trolley sets, and side rail bumpers.

A width- and length-adjustable range to match the bed as it’s resized, spanning hybrid foam/air options (from around £4,500) through to full-air alternating and turning systems (up to approximately £11,000 for the turn variant).

It uses longitudinal air cells beneath the mattress. As one cell inflates, the opposing cell deflates, creating a gradual turn rather than a single wedge lifting from underneath, which helps keep the patient within safe and comfortable reach during repositioning.

Yes, through our specialist seating range. Options include bariatric lateral-transfer chairs and riser recliners, with independent adjustment of seat width, depth, and height within a single chair, reducing the need to stock multiple chair sizes.

Yes. Features include magnetic fastenings in place of Velcro and easy-clean surfaces suited to clinical environments.
