Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the walnut and oak Lomond Low Bed?
The clinical specification is identical across both finishes. The walnut and oak options allow care home operators to select a finish that complements the decor of the care environment. Residential care settings often prefer domestic-style finishes to support a non-institutional atmosphere in residents' bedrooms.
Can this bed be used with floor-level crash mats?
Yes. At its 20cm ultra-low setting, the Lomond Low Bed is compatible with floor-level crash mats placed alongside the bed to further reduce injury risk during unassisted bed exits. The bed height should be set to its lowest position during overnight periods for patients on a falls prevention care plan, with crash mats positioned on the anticipated exit side.
