Description
The Bed Comforter is a very comfortable body pillow, filled with polyester with hollow core silicone fibre. It is designed to rest between the person's legs, protecting them from rubbing together, and can also be used to rest an arm over. For residents in aged care facilities, it may provide a sense of security, helping them stay in their own bed overnight.
Key Features
- Comfortable Design: Helps reduce discomfort by preventing legs from rubbing together.
- Support for Restless Nights: May assist individuals who experience restless nights.
- Security for Aged Care Residents: Aids in keeping residents in their own beds.
Additional Information
It is difficult to guarantee if this product will work with every patient. If it does not work with one patient, it may well work with someone else in the facility. The success of this product may depend on how it is introduced to the patient.
Make your selection from the drop-down boxes. We highly recommend purchasing one of the three spare cover options. Using a cover means you generally don't need to wash the entire product - you can just wash the cover.
Product Options
- Standard - This is the Bed Comforter on its own. We recommend purchasing this with the Spare Poly Cotton Cover or a Spare Waterproof Cover with Sewn Seams.
- 100% Heat Sealed - This version has sealed seams, so no urine can get inside. Some people use this version with a Spare Poly Cotton Cover over the top that can be easily washed.
- Spare Poly-Cotton Cover - This is a nice soft blue material cover which most people use. It can go on top of either the Standard Bed Comforter or the 100% Heat Sealed version.
- Spare Thermoregulating Cover - This is the same as the Spare Poly-Cotton Cover, but has a thermoregulating material sewn on the inside. See below for important information about this material.*
- Spare Waterproof Cover with Sewn Seams - This is a soft, waterproof, wipeable material cover for incontinent people. It does have stitching, so it is not 100% Heat Sealed. It can go on top of either the Standard Bed Comforter or the 100% Heat Sealed version.

About the Thermoregulating Material
The TR Material was first developed to help astronauts in space maintain their body temperature. The material should help to keep cool people warm and keep warm people cool. It allows heat from the body to escape and, if the body is getting cold, it traps the warmth of the body. Many people who are under cancer treatment such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy may find a benefit from the cooling material.
