Bed Cradles

Protect Sensitive Skin and Reduce Friction

For individuals suffering from lower limb conditions, the weight of standard bed sheets, heavy doonas, or blankets can cause significant discomfort or exacerbate injuries. A bed cradle is an essential assistive device that installs easily under the mattress or sits atop the bed base, arching over the legs to support the weight of the bedding.

By keeping the linen from making direct contact with the skin, these supports help prevent bed sores (pressure ulcers), assist in healing burns, and provide relief for conditions such as gout, neuropathy, or open wounds. Our collection features durable, hospital-grade options suitable for home care and aged care facilities.

Key Features of Our Bed Supports

• Sturdy Steel Construction: Designed to hold the weight of heavy winter blankets without bending or collapsing.
• Height Adjustable Options: Many models allow you to customize the clearance height to suit different body sizes and mattress thicknesses.
• Easy Installation: simply slides between the mattress and bed base for a secure hold.
• Promotes Air Circulation: improving hygiene and keeping the affected area cool and dry.
• Folding Designs: Select models fold flat for easy storage or travel.

Choosing the Right Bed Cradle

When selecting a support, consider the size of the bed and the specific needs of the patient. A fixed height cradle offers robust stability for permanent setups, while an adjustable bed cradle provides versatility for changing needs. For those with limited space, a folding metal cradle offers the perfect balance of convenience and support.
