Midshires’ Range of Profiling Beds
With over thirty years of industry experience, award-winning Midshires Mobility are widely recognised as one of the UK’s leading suppliers of mobility products. Within our portfolio of services, we provide a comprehensive range of profiling beds designed to serve the specific requirements of the end users.
What is a Profiling Bed?
A profiling bed is an electrically adjustable bed designed to provide enhanced comfort, support and positioning for people with reduced mobility, disabilities or long-term care needs. Unlike a standard bed, different sections of the mattress platform can be adjusted independently using a simple handset, allowing the backrest, leg rest and overall bed height to be raised or lowered to suit the user’s needs at any given time of day or night.
Profiling beds are suitable for a wide range of people, including those recovering from surgery, individuals managing long-term conditions, older adults who need additional support and people with complex care needs at home or in a care environment. If getting comfortable in bed, managing transfers or maintaining independence throughout the night has become a challenge, a profiling bed could make a significant difference to daily life.
Key Benefits of a Profiling Bed
- Reduces pressure points and supports healthy circulation during extended periods in bed
- Improves comfort and positioning for users with complex postural needs
- Makes transfers in and out of bed safer and more manageable
- Supports greater independence for the user throughout the day and night
- Reduces manual handling demands on carers and family members

Within our portfolio of services we provide a comprehensive range of profiling beds designed to serve the specific requirements of the end users.
Hospital Style Beds
Our hospital beds for home use are high-quality electric beds suitable for home care, community and residential care environments. The range includes standard and low-height models along with bariatric and paediatric options, making it one of the most versatile and inclusive ranges available.
Low-height hospital beds for home models are particularly beneficial for users at risk of falls, allowing the bed to be lowered closer to the floor for safer and more independent transfers. A mattress support extension kit is also available, increasing mattress support length by 15cm where required. All models feature a homely and modest design that sits comfortably within a domestic environment rather than feeling clinical or institutional.
Please contact us for further information on this range of bed.
Single Beds
Our single profiling bed range is manufactured in a variety of sizes and designs to suit individual requirements. Various base designs allow for hoisting situations, ensuring a portable hoist can fit underneath the base where needed.
Sizes available: 2’3″ – 2’6″ – 3’0″
Double Beds
Although classified as a double profiling bed, these are particularly well suited to single occupancy where additional bed space is required for comfort or clinical reasons. Various base designs accommodate hoisting situations as standard.
Sizes available: 3’6″ – 4’0″ – 4’6″
Dual Beds
Our dual electric adjustable beds allow each side to be adjusted independently, making them an outstanding solution for couples with differing comfort or clinical requirements. Each user can raise or lower their side of the bed without affecting their partner, delivering a truly personalised sleep experience for two.
Sizes available: 4’6″ – (2 x 2’3″) 5’0″ – (2 x 2’6″) 6’0″ – (2 x 3’0″)
Divan-Style Beds
For those who want all the clinical benefits of an electric profiling bed within a design that feels at home in a bedroom rather than a care setting, our divan-style beds offer an elegant and practical solution. Available in a range of styles with a choice of headboard designs, these beds are custom-made to ensure the highest level of individual comfort without compromising on aesthetics.
A selection of mattress types is available to suit different needs and preferences, including reflex foam, memory foam and latex, each offering different levels of support, pressure relief and comfort.
Our team can advise on which mattress best complements your chosen bed and individual requirements.
For Carers and Care Environments
Profiling beds benefit not just the user but everyone involved in their care. Adjustable height settings reduce the physical demands of care routines, minimising bending and manual handling for carers and family members. Our range suits home use, residential care homes, hospices and community care environments, making it a practical solution across a variety of settings.

Choosing the Right Profiling Bed
The right profiling bed depends on the user’s mobility level, care requirements, room dimensions and whether hoist access is needed. Mattress selection is equally important and should always be considered alongside the bed itself to ensure the best possible outcome for comfort and pressure care. Selecting a mattress with targeted support plays a crucial role in reducing the risk of developing pressure ulcers during home or residential care.
