Harvest Bed Length Extension Kit with Extended Side Rails:

The Bed Length Extension with Longer Side Rails, is available to extend your Harvest profiling bed by an additional 200mm.

Some users are not comfortable in a typical 2000mm long Profiling Bed, which can cause entrapment issues. This solution provided by Harvest allows for users to feel more comfortable when laid or sat upright in bed.

When should a care bed be extended?

A bed should be extended when the person lying in it is too tall for a standard bed— if their feet touch the end or they cannot lie comfortably. Bed extensions are typically used for very tall individuals. Since the internal length of a Harvest bed is 2 metres (6.56 feet), a person up to approximately 1.9 metres (6.3 feet) should fit comfortably, depending on the proportions of their legs to torso.

When assessing a person for a bed extension, ensure their hips are aligned with the bed’s bending point (where it adjusts into a seated position), and raise the backrest. If their feet reach the end of the bed in this position, the bed is too short, and an extension is required. If the bed has been previously extended for another resident but an extension is no longer needed, it should be returned to standard length.

Extensions are available for:-
