Contour Mattress Genie Adjustable Bed Wedge System - Inflatable Under The Bed Wedge Mattress Riser for Elevated Support, Fits Queen Size Bed

Product Information

Many adjustable height beds do not stop automatically if there is an object underneath and there is a risk of entrapment. Some companies have a double bed option. Usually this comprises two single beds placed close together (one or both with the profiling option). If needed, ensure the beds will separate easily, e.g. for carers to assist from both sides, and/or there is sufficient clearance underneath, e.g. for the legs of a portable hoist. Simply place the air chamber under the head of your mattress and within minutes you have all the benefits of an adjustable bed. As the chamber fills with air, it gently flexes the mattress and the head of your bed is raised to the desired level. The inflatable chamber reverts to completely flat when not in use. The strong and reliable pump is capable of lifting loads of 1000lbs. Yes, the Mattress Genie is suitable for use on most types of beds, including those with wooden or metal slats. Will the Mattress Genie Stay Silent While I Sleep? The bulletin recommends that alternative methods of bed care/management should be considered first, such as:

These are made up of two circular discs that rotate against one another. They are useful for someone who can semi-stand or who can use a board as a bridge (but finds it difficult to turn, step or adjust his/her feet) to transfer directly from bed to chair. Users place their feet on the disc and, as the transfer is made, the disc swivels. The Mattress Genie is supplied in single, double or king size versions. The Mattress Genie Adjustable Mattress Tilter is a firm favourite with both NHS and personal users as it provides excellent value for money and is so easy to use. Which Mattresses Are Compatible? some bed rails are provided with net sides to reduce the risk of impact injury. Some companies supply padding to go over rails. Do not assume the netting or padding will reduce the risk of being trapped. Also, some covers are not air-permeable and may present a risk of suffocation; Yes, the Mattress Genie is suitable for use on most types of beds, including those with wooden or metal slats. How Do I Use the Mattress Tilter Genie? manually operated beds are controlled by a foot-operated gas-assisted mechanism, a lever or winding mechanism or a ratchet system. The carer can find all of these quite hard work and the user cannot control the adjustment.Alternatively, if you use the Mattress Lifter underneath the foot of your bed you can help to improve the conditions associated with a different range of problems. Raising your legs can increase circulation quality which reduces the chance of oedema and varicose veins, while allowing your calves and feet to rest. Finally, keeping your legs raised is ideal when undertaking recovery from an injury, as this can increase blood circulation and reduce pain. Is the Harley Mattress Lifter Supplied with a Cover? the amount of noise made by these units varies. Personal preference and whether other people nearby will be disturbed needs considering. Air bags tend to be noisier and hydraulic pistons quieter; Bed leg raisers are placed under the legs to raise the height of the bed. This can make standing easier. However, once raised, the height of the bed is set and the problems mentioned before may sometimes still be encountered. For example, although the raised height helps a person to stand it is too high for them to sit safely on the edge of the bed and/or to lift their legs into bed.

Double, Small Double, King and Super King will arrive in two separate pieces (two pieces of foam to be put into cover). This will not impact the performance of the product.

The domestic ones tend to be smaller with a wooden or padded headboard and generally look more homely. The hospital versions are larger, usually with a metal frame, more resilient and often have a choice of nursing functions. Serious injuries have occurred from the use of bed rails. The prescribing, selecting, fitting and maintenance of bed rails needs considerable care to avoid injury. The Medical Devices Agency (now within the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) issued a bulletin in July 2001 - Advice on the safe use of bed rails. The Harley Mattress Lifter features a foam construction that does not require any inflation. Due to this, you do not have to worry about punctures of changes in the inflation level. Where Do I Place the Harley Mattress Lifter?If a person is unable to take any of their weight through their legs, advice should ALWAYS be sought from a therapist as to the safest method of assisting or moving them out of bed. Most people are not strong enough to lift someone (including many children) from the bed onto a chair/wheelchair/commode. Equipment which will do the lifting instead is available or sometimes the person may be able to slide across. if the height of the bed has been raised (e.g. by adding an extra mattress for pressure relief) can the hoist still lift the person so that his/her bottom clears the mattress surface? Adjustable height beds can be powered manually or electrically. Manually operated beds usually have a hydraulic mechanism that raises and lowers the bed. This movement may feel jerky as the bed rises. The control is often a foot pump at the side of the bed. It cannot be operated by the user. The Mattress Genie is an adjustable alternative to foam bed wedges and an affordable alternative to electric adjustable beds.

The Harley Lifter is supplied with a cover. The cover can be removed and is designed with fleece. How Do I Wash the Mattress Lifter? These are made of a length of material which has either been stitched to form a continuous roller or is folded in a similar way so that the slippery material on the surfaces inside will easily slide against each other. However, a unique model is available which serves as a safety rail, can be used independently and also helps raise the person’s legs. An air filled platform first moves through 90° to bring the platform to the horizontal, lifting his/her legs. The user then moves the legs across into bed. The platform can be raised a further 90° to form a barrier to prevent him/her falling out of bed. a more comfortable and stable position can be achieved in a bed with four sections, as the user’s bottom remains horizontal while the knees are raised to form a break;Sometimes small handling equipment is used to help people move in bed. Advice should be sought from a therapist on the safest handling technique and the equipment to use.
