Storage Drawers & Storage Space Under Individual Adjustable Beds.

Our storage drawers are handmade and very strong. There is no point buying a high quality bed designed to last years with cheap drawers which the bottom will fall out of if overloaded.

• We offer storage drawers set in the foot or Sides of our adjustable beds.
• Easy open and close drawers with steel runners and guide wheels.
• A neat finger pull along the bottom edge rather than knobs or handles.
• Designed to be very easy for self-assembly. Both the drawer and carcass are already assembled.

Simply by using the hand control to raise the head end opens up a useful storage space. Many of our customers will opt for drawers in the foot end and place plastic storage boxes in the top end of the bed to take advantage of this. Please select your drawer option from the drop down menu.

Choosing the width of your adjustable bed or beds.

Unlike most retailers using imported components from the Far East, ‘Back Care Beds’ manufacture their adjustable beds and only import the mechanism and motors from Germany. As a result of metric equivalents check the Actual finished width of your selected bed from the list below

The length of an adjustable bed is generally 6’6” (198cm) long, even as a single bed where as conventional beds would only be 6’3” (190cm). We add approx. 2” (5cm) to avoid the mattress interfering with the face of the headboard. If you are particularly tall and need a longer bed we make up to a 7’ adjustable bed. If you are restricted on space we can make 6’3”

• 2’3” (69cm). This is the narrowest adjustable bed that we make and is most commonly used as half a  twin bed to make up a 46”’ width (137cm) double size in UK beds. Actual finished width 2’3 ¾” (705mm)
• 2’6” (76cm). Again, most commonly used as a twin bed to make up a 5’ width (152cm) King size in UK beds. Actual finished width 2’6 ¾” (775mm)
• 2’9” (84cm) “An unusual size” I hear you say. But it is a big step up in size from a 5’ King to a 6’ Super King, so the 2’9” as twin adjustable beds makes up a nice size 5’6” (168cm) Actual finished width 2’9” (840mm)
• 3’ (91cm) The most popular width as an individual single adjustable bed or 6’ (183cm) super king twin adjustable beds. Actual finished width 3’1” (940mm)
• 3’6” (107cm) a nice size individual adjustable bed. If you feel that a 3’ single is not quite big enough Actual finished width 3’5” (1040mm)
• 4’ (122cm) This has become one of our best selling beds Actual finished width 4’ ¾” (1240mm)
• 4’6” (137cm) The widest individual adjustable bed available. Actual finished width 4’6 ¾” (1380mm)

Twin adjustable beds of 2’3” can be used for a couple but be aware, these are quite narrow mattresses for each of you.

• 5’ (152cm) King size. Only available as twin 2’6” adjustable beds. Actual finished width 5’1” (1550mm)
• 5’6” (167cm) Ideal if the 5’ is too small and the 6’ just won’t fit Actual finished width 5’6” (1680mm)
• 6’ (183cm) The perfect width super king size adjustable bed. Two 3’ (91cm) mattresses side by side. Perfect if you have the space, it is worth losing a bedside cabinet for. Actual finished width 6’2” (1880mm)

​​​The comfort and support of an adjustable bed is partly down to the profiling of the bed base but mainly down to the support offered by the mattress. Pocket Spring mattresses do not perform as well as Reflex, Memory Foam or Latex mattresses.The Reflex foam is a good supportive mattress but for a little more money the Memory Foam mattresses give greater support and reduced pressure points which in-turn creates greater comfort.With £100 difference between the Memory 500 Mattress and our Deluxe Memory Foam Mattresses, it is our opinion that although slightly more expensive it is money well spent for the increased benefits.The ‘Latex Ultimate Mattress’ combines natural latex which avoids overheating with a high density memory foam middle layer producing incredible support without the feeling of being engulfed. As the name suggests, this is the ultimate mattress but not cheap

Unlike an ordinary divan style bed, with no one on an adjustable bed in the raised position there is only point contact between the mattress and the slatted base. This means that the slightest pressure or nudge when getting into bed will cause the mattress to shift. Made from tough nylon they are strong enough to hold the mattress in position yet flexible enough not to cause injury if you sit on the mattress above the bars. The bars sit below the level of the top of the mattress. Sheets can easily be fitted around or on the inside of the bars.
The Bars are hooked onto a pair of slats and screwed into the slat through the pre drilled holes.

	​
Our metal foot end mattress retainers are standard with our adjustable beds. When the head end of the adjustable bed is raised the mattress will naturally try to slide down the bed. Although they may not be the prettiest accessory the metal foot end mattress retainers are designed to hold the mattress in position.	Although the metal foot end mattress retainers are very practical, the upholstered foot end mattress retainers have a nicer appearance and grip the mattress better.

For more information please watch our video on Adjustable Bed Luxury Zip Off Washable Top Covers

For more information please read our pdf on Adjustable Bed Luxury Zip Off Washable Top Covers or review the information below.

A standard  cover is included with all of our range of adjustable bed mattresses. As these industry standard covers are not particularly thick it is recommended to use a thick elasticated mattress protector to create an air gap which will increase air circulation and reduce the likelihood of sweating.

Luxury Zip off washable top cover • Awarded the prestigious highest level European Eco certificate. • The thick quilted cover creates an air gap for ventilation to reduce the likelihood of sweating. • Cover completely un-zips around the top edge making  it  considerably easier than standard covers. • Suitable for all of our adjustable bed mattresses. • Machine washable. Do not tumble dry. For this reason it is worth having a spare. • Spare covers are very handy for one on the bed and one in the wash.

The price of the upgraded cover includes the side and bottom casing and is already reduced as a price difference deducting the cost of our standard cover. 

The price below is for the one upgraded casing and cover and then for each additional spare cover. 

Example.

For an individual 3’ Bed £ 50 to upgrade the casing and cover, then an additional £ 50 for a spare cover. Total £ 100

For Twin 3’ beds £ 100 to upgrade both casings and covers, then an additional £ 50 for a spare cover. Total £ 150

Adjustable Bed Anti Perspiration Pads Guide

For more information please watch our video on Adjustable Bed Anti Perspiration Pads

For more information please read our pdf on Adjustable Bed Anti Perspiration Pads or review the information below.

Many people suffer from sweating in bed. This is generally as a result of being prone to sweating rather than it being caused by the sleeping surface. The anti-perspiration pad or anti sweat mattress pad, call it what you want, it makes a difference because it creates an air gap which allows air circulation. Problem solved!

Anti-Perspiration pad, also known as anti-sweat pad. It works quite simply by creating an air gap between you and the mattress, reducing or preventing sweating. Although the principal is simple the technology is far from simple. 3mesh from Muller textiles in Germany is made from thousands of tiny fibres that literally create an air gap allowing air to circulate. We at High & Dry Manufacturing Ltd then convert the 3mesh spacer fabric into a mattress protector with an elasticated skirt to hook over your mattress and a quilted face with poly cotton lining. It really works.

Adjustable Bed Fitted Sheets.

Ordinary cotton or poly cotton sheets have no stretch so they will become baggy when the head and foot ends of the adjustable bed are raised. Sheets with no stretch will come un-tucked and wrapped around you by the morning. From our experience most

customers are skeptical and are surprised by the price, deciding to buy just one to try it out. Shortly after they will purchase more and say what good value the sheets are. For a short while we did stop selling the sheets due to the rising price to us but so many of our

existing customers moaned that there simply was no suitable alternative so we decided to continue supplying them.

German made, high quality 97% cotton and 3% elastan. Excellent comfort, soft feel and hard wearing. Easy care: washable at 60 degrees and tumble dryer. Fully elasticated deep skirt. The material itself has a surprising amount of stretch due to the knit and elastan content. Sheets stay nice and snug on the bed even when the head and foot ends are raised. The stretch means that for length one size fits all between 6’3” to 7’

5 Motor Massage System

For more information please watch our video on Adjustable Bed Luxury Massager

For more information please read our pdf on Adjustable Bed Luxury Massager or review the information below.

This fantastic massage system is far from being a gimmick. Powerful built in motors can give a gentle soothing massage or simply increase the intensity for an invigorating massage, passively exercising you whilst circulating blood to the joints and muscles.

Relax in the knowledge that the timer will automatically switch off after a set time.

Very simple to operate illuminated hand control. 5 sets of massage motors built in to the mattress for a more positive result. Adjustments for intensity, gentle to strong. A choice of wave programs which run up and down your body. Pulse, for targeted massage. Speed control to speed up or slow down the wave or pulse programs. The 5 sets of massage motors can be individually switched on or off again for targeted results.

Note.

The built in massage system cannot be used in combination with our pocket spring mattress. The alternative massage system which can be used is bolted under the adjustable bed slats. This system is widely sold in high street shops because it is easier to sell as an add on however it is far less effective and is noisy in comparison to the built in massage system.
