Casero Duo Plus Double and Queen Electric Care Bed
The Casero Duo Plus is a wide electric care bed for people who need significantly more sleeping space than a Single or Super Single care bed can provide. Available from MoveSmart in Double and Queen sizes, it combines a generous platform with powered height adjustment, backrest and knee positioning, Trendelenburg/reverse Trendelenburg and a substantial 450 kg safe working load.
Its width makes the Duo Plus particularly relevant for larger users, people who want more room to turn and reposition, or couples who need a wider care-bed platform while retaining the adjustment and access features of a clinical-style bed.
Wide Care-Bed Platform for More Sleeping Space
The Double has a sleeping surface approximately 135 cm wide, while the Queen increases this to approximately 150 cm. Both extend in length from around 200 to 220 cm.
That extra width changes more than comfort. A larger bed also affects room layout, access for carers and the space available for hoists, transfer equipment or bedside furniture. Before ordering, it is worth measuring the whole working area around the bed rather than checking mattress dimensions alone.
Electric Height Adjustment for Transfers and Bedside Care
The current Cubro specification table gives a mattress-platform height range of approximately 26–66 cm. That allows the bed to be lowered for suitable transfers and raised to a more practical height for dressing, personal care, repositioning and bedding changes.
A note on the low-height figure: Cubro's current feature list also refers to an ultra-low height of 18.4 cm, while the same page's specification table gives 26–66 cm for both Double and Queen. Until that discrepancy is clarified, MoveSmart uses the 26–66 cm table value rather than presenting 18.4 cm as confirmed for these variants.
Backrest and Knee-Break Positioning
The backrest raises to approximately 65° and the knee section to around 32°. These sections can be used to move from a flat sleeping position into a more upright posture for reading, meals or conversation, or to change leg position without simply tilting the whole bed.
Because the Duo Plus is a genuine profiling care bed, these adjustments are intended to work together with a suitable profiling mattress rather than a conventional rigid mattress.
Trendelenburg and Reverse Trendelenburg
The complete mattress platform can tilt through approximately ±12°. This gives the Duo Plus both Trendelenburg and reverse Trendelenburg positions in addition to the individual back and knee adjustments.
If a particular tilt position has been recommended for a medical or care reason, follow the advice of the relevant health professional. The value of the feature for most buyers is the additional positioning flexibility it adds to the bed.
Extendable for Taller Users
The sleeping platform extends from approximately 200 cm to 220 cm in 10 cm or 20 cm increments. The integrated extension includes a foot-end mattress retainer so the frame can be lengthened without replacing the complete bed.
A suitable mattress or extension arrangement still needs to match the chosen platform length, so confirm the mattress setup when ordering.
Central Braking and Under-Bed Access
A central braking system is operated from the foot end, making it easier to secure the bed's castors together after it has been repositioned. Full under-bed clearance also helps when compatible mobile lifting equipment or close bedside access is required.
The bed includes a CPR backrest function that allows the back section to be lowered quickly toward flat when emergency access is required. Follow the user guide for correct operation.
High-Capacity Care Bed
The Duo Plus has a 450 kg safe working load and a maximum user weight of 410 kg. Safe working load includes the load carried by the bed as a system, so it should not be treated as simply another wording for user weight.
For a higher-capacity bed, mattress selection, transfers and room layout are especially important. MoveSmart can help confirm the bed size and compatible mattress before purchase.

Casero Duo Plus Double and Queen Bed User Guide
Choosing Double or Queen
The Double provides a 135 cm sleeping width in a bed approximately 149 cm wide overall. The Queen increases the sleeping surface to 150 cm and overall width to approximately 163 cm. Both provide the same core powered functions and load ratings.
Choose according to the user's space requirements and the bedroom itself. The wider Queen can provide welcome extra room, but only if there is still adequate access around the bed for transfers, care and equipment.
