Height Adjustable Beds
Based in Melbourne, back to sleep’s stylish and modern range of HiLo height adjustable beds are unmatched for function and durability. Our beds offer you the ability to raise or lower the bed, making it easier for you to get in and out of bed, or to help you transfer onto the bed from another mobility aid.
Our range includes Icare and Aspire beds. The ability to raise and lower the head and foot areas and tilt the whole bed can assist in relieving pressure and compression from your spine and lower back, as well as increasing your circulation and lymphatic drainage.
For many Australians managing mobility or care challenges, the right bed can make a huge difference in daily comfort, safety, and independence. A Hi Lo bed allows you to adjust height and recline positions to make getting in and out easier, supporting more comfortable sleep and safer care at home.
At Back to Sleep, we tailor our Hi Lo adjustable beds to suit each person’s lifestyle, body, and care goals. We’re here to help guide you through the process, including recommending suitable options so you can feel supported night and day.
What Is a Hi Lo Bed?
A Hi Lo bed (short for high-low) is a hi lo electric bed designed with safety and flexibility. You can raise or lower the mattress to match sitting, standing, or caregiver heights. Common in hospitals and aged-care settings, they’re now more accessible for homes thanks to better design, usability, and funding options.
Because they support safe transfers and reduce injury risk, Hi Lo electric beds are typically recommended by Occupational Therapists, Case Managers, Support Co-ordinators and Physiotherapists. . And when paired with the right mattress – for example, a mattress for bed sore prevention – they become even more effective for maintaining skin health and comfort.
Who Benefits from an Adjustable Hi Lo Bed?
Anyone experiencing movement or positioning challenges can benefit, including:
- Older adults looking for safer, easier transfers
- Those recovering from surgery or injury
- Clients/participants with neurological or chronic conditions
- Carers and family members supporting daily care routines
-
NDIS or Home Care Package clients/participants
If rising or lowering the bed causes discomfort or risk, a Hi Lo bed can help maintain dignity and independence.
Height Matters: Why Hi Lo Adjustment Beds are Essential
Standard beds often sit too low or too high, causing strain when entering or exiting. A Hi Lo adjustable bed can be set to a comfortable stand-up height, reducing stress on joints, back muscles, and caregivers.
Once seated, you can lower the bed for safe transfers or raise it again for care tasks. That flexibility supports posture, ease of movement, and long-term comfort.
Preventing Pressure Injuries: Mattress Options
Pressure area care can be a major concern when sleep is prolonged – especially for people with limited mobility.
That’s why a suitable mattress choice matters:
- High-resilience foam mattresses provide balanced support and comfort
- Alternating air mattresses reduce pressure buildup and aid circulation
-
Hybrids offer a mix of pressure relief and stability
We can help to match your mattress for bed sore prevention with your bed’s adjustable functions, post-care needs, and budget – because effective pressure care goes hand in hand with safe positioning.
