Cadence Select Profiling Bed
- Low Footboard Design for Improved Carer Visibility - the defining aesthetic feature of the Cadence Select is its low footboard, which is significantly shorter than the standard footboard of the Cadence Comfort; the low footboard improves the care team's line of sight to the resident from the foot end of the bed during observation visits, wound care at the lower limbs, and overnight monitoring; this is particularly relevant in shared rooms or when carers carry out visual checks across multiple residents without fully entering each room.
- 235kg SWL - 200kg User - 240-800mm Height - the Cadence Select shares the same clinical specification as the Cadence Comfort: SWL 235kg (37 stone), maximum user weight 200kg (31 stone), and height range 240-800mm for MHOR 1992 carer ergonomic access; the identical clinical platform means the Select can be selected when the low footboard aesthetic is preferred without any compromise in clinical functionality.
- Trendelenburg, Reverse Trendelenburg, and Auto-Regression as Standard - the full Cadence clinical positioning suite - Trendelenburg, reverse Trendelenburg, auto-regression, and five-position footrest - is standard on the Select as on the Comfort; the backrest elevates to 70 degrees and the knee rest to 45 degrees; the lockable handset and emergency battery backup maintain safe operation for dependent residents.
- Fully Customisable - Split Rails Optional - 5-Year Warranty - the Cadence Select supports the same customisation options as the Comfort range: frame width, headboard style and finish, side skirt fabric, and optional split side rails; the in-house upholstery service allows complete integration with the care home's interior design; IPX4 motor protection; overall 2155 x 1055mm; 126kg total weight; 5-year warranty; MHRA compliant.

Regulatory Compliance
The Cadence Select Profiling Bed complies with MHRA guidelines for profiling beds. Optional split side rail use requires individual assessment under MHRA bed safety guidance. SWL and user weight must be verified per MHOR 1992 before deployment. IPX4 motor protection and low-voltage supply meet electrical safety standards for care home environments. Equipment register records and MDR conformity documentation must be maintained for CQC Regulation 12 compliance.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the clinical and operational benefit of a low footboard, and does it affect the bed's structural strength?
The low footboard on the Cadence Select is shorter in height than the standard footboard, positioning its top edge significantly lower than a full-height footboard. The primary operational benefit is improved carer sightline to the resident from the foot end of the bed during visual observation; a carer standing at the foot of the bed or in the doorway can see more of the resident's body, including the lower limbs, abdomen, and lower face, without needing to enter the room fully or move around the bed. This is relevant for overnight observation checks in care homes where carers must monitor multiple residents efficiently while minimising disturbance. It is also practically useful during clinical procedures at the lower limbs such as wound care, dressing changes, and leg oedema assessment, where the carer's hands and the resident's legs are both accessible above a low footboard without the obstruction of a full-height panel. The low footboard does not affect the structural integrity of the bed frame; the frame's SWL is determined by the main frame members and actuators rather than the headboard or footboard panels.
When should a care home choose the Cadence Select over the Cadence Comfort or Cadence Premium?
All three Cadence variants share identical clinical specifications - SWL, user weight, height range, and positioning functions are the same across the Comfort, Select, and Premium. The selection between them is therefore driven by aesthetic preference and functional visibility requirements rather than clinical differentiation. The Cadence Select is the appropriate choice when the care team or resident specifically values the improved foot-end visibility of the low footboard, or when the modern clean-line aesthetic of a standard headboard with a low footboard matches the care home's interior design language better than the curved boards of the Comfort or Premium. The Cadence Comfort is preferred when full aesthetic continuity between the head and footboard style is desired and the curved design matches the room's furnishings. The Cadence Premium is selected when the most premium curved profile at both the head and foot end is the priority, typically for the highest-specification rooms or for residents who have specifically requested the most refined aesthetic. Any of the three may be combined with the in-house upholstery service for complete customisation.
