Sidhil Bradshaw Bariatric Low
Our verdict
The Bradshaw Bariatric Low takes a 318kg user on a 120cm platform, but its product page and brochure disagree on how low it goes and how much hoist clearance it leaves.
Best for: users over about 190kg, or anyone who needs a wider platform to turn and reposition.
Not for: homes relying on a mobile hoist: the maker’s page gives only 3.3cm under the frame. At 135cm wide it also needs a larger room.
Based on the maker's published documents. We have not physically tested this product.

Where the maker’s own documents disagree
The product page gives “Platform Height (Min – Max): 26-62.5cm”; the Bradshaw Bariatric brochure gives “Platform Height (min): 24.5cm” and “Platform Height (max): 61.5cm”. We list 26cm as the lowest point. The gap under the bed differs more. The page says “Underbed Clearance: 3.3cm (underside of frame), 8.6cm (actuator)”; the brochure says “Underbed clearance for hoist: 19.4cm”. We list 3.3cm. If a hoist has to reach under this bed, ask the seller to measure before delivery. Page and brochure also differ on length (223.5cm and 224.5cm) and platform length (200cm and 202cm).
Where these figures come from
We read the maker's documents for this product when we wrote Best Hospital Beds and Profiling Beds for Home UK: 5 Checked Against Their Makers’ Documents, where it is ranked number 3. The guide names each document and explains how the products were ranked.
Specifications are shown as the maker prints them in its own product page, leaflet or manual, read on the date given. Where a price is shown it names the seller and the date. We have not physically tested these products, and no maker or retailer can pay to be listed or placed higher. Not sure what suits you? An occupational therapist or your local wheelchair service can advise.
