Key features of this kids electric adjustable bed
Child-sized, homely design
The IC280JR is designed specifically for children, offering a smaller, cosier sleeping surface with a more homely look than a hospital bed, while still giving you the support features you need.
Electric back & leg adjustment
Powered backrest and knee-bend sections make it easier to get comfortable for sleep, reading or supports, and help carers position your child safely for feeding, cares and transfers.
Safety side options
The IC280JR can be configured with guard rail and safety side options to reduce the risk of falls and provide peace of mind for night-time movement and seizures.
Height adjustment to protect carers
Electric height adjustment lets you raise the bed to a safe working height for cares, then lower it for sleep, helping protect parents and support workers from back strain.

Buying the IC280JR vs hiring a children’s adjustable bed
We can help with hire and sale options for adjustable beds, but for many children the need is long-term. In those situations families often find it more practical to buy a paediatric adjustable bed that is always set up in the child’s room.
Purchasing the IC280JR gives your child a familiar, consistent sleep environment, with all the positioning, safety and comfort features available every night and during the day for rests or cares.
If you are unsure whether to buy or hire a kids electric bed, we can talk through your child’s needs, timeframes, funding and how the bed will be used so you can choose the most cost-effective option.
IC280JR kids bed vs standard children’s bed
| Feature | Icare IC280JR | Standard kids bed |
|---|---|---|
| Back & leg adjustment | ✓ Electric backrest and knee-bend to help with positioning, breathing and comfort. | Flat surface only – carers may need to use extra pillows, wedges or manual lifting. |
| Height adjustment | ✓ Raises to a safe working height for cares, then lowers for sleep and transfers. | No height change – cares and transfers often done from awkward, low positions. |
| Safety & rails | ✓ Compatible with safety sides and rail options to reduce fall risk and night-time wandering. | Standard sides only; may not provide sufficient protection for high-needs children. |
| Child-friendly appearance | ✓ Softer, furniture-style design that feels more like a bedroom bed than a hospital bed. | Typical kids frames look homely but lack the support and adjustability required. |
| Support for carers | ✓ Designed to reduce bending and heavy lifting, supporting parents and support workers long-term. | Transfers and cares rely more on manual handling, increasing fatigue and injury risk. |
Frequently asked questions about buying a kids adjustable bed
-
Can I buy the Icare IC280JR kids bed outright? +
Yes. The Icare IC280JR is available to buy outright. For many children with ongoing support needs, buying is more practical than hire because the bed can stay set up in their room long-term with no ongoing hire fees. -
Can I see the IC280JR in your showroom with my child? +
Absolutely. You’re welcome to visit our Loganholme showroom with your child, support team or therapist. We can show you how the bed moves, discuss safety side options and talk through room layout, hoists and other equipment. -
Is the IC280JR compatible with NDIS funding? +
Many families purchase the IC280JR using NDIS assistive technology funding. We can provide quotes for OTs, assist with product information and issue invoices in the right format for self-managed and plan-managed participants. -
Does the bed come with side rails or do they need to be added? +
The IC280JR has optional safety side and rail configurations. Which setup is best depends on your child’s movement, seizure risk and behaviours. We usually recommend discussing rail choices with your therapist so the bed supports both safety and independence. -
