Product description
The Corus community low profile bed has a unique low height of 20cm and is designed to help in the prevention of falls and injuries to clients. The simple to use variable height allows greater independent movement and transfers.
A unique approach
The Corus low profile bed has been designed using 4 years’ of research on anthropometric data based on the Adult Social Care Survey 2009-2012. Over 227,000 people were surveyed looking at their age, gender, height, weight and mobility.
The findings from the survey showed:
• 175cm average height
• 80kg average weight
• Over 75% are over 64 years old
• 65% female
• 90% either cannot or have difficulty getting out of bed
By using this data we have been able to design a quality low profile bed which offers exceptional comfort and support to all users.
Enhanced comfort and support
• Enhanced shear and friction reduction
• Excellent postural support
• Better respiratory positioning
• Exceptional comfort
Dementia friendly low profile bed
• Appearance is in harmony with a domestic setting
• Uniquely styled head and footboard design, enhancing patients’ visual field, reducing the “enclosed feeling” that some beds generate
• Rounded corners for safety
• Appropriate height to prevent injury from falls
• Stable four-point design as dementia users tend to use the bed as a mobility aid
• 30 point Light Reflectance Values (LRVs) between the grey rounded corners and head and foot panels can be achieved, making it easy for the visually impaired to see the edge of the bed
