Here is what to look for so you get the right fit the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFoam Thickness and Impact Absorption\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe foam core is the most important part. A 5 cm high-density foam mat provides solid cushioning for most home situations and sits low enough that stepping over it is straightforward. For higher-risk situations, such as someone who spends more time in bed or who has been assessed by an \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilityshopdirect.com.au\/blogs\/news\/7-essential-mobility-aids-to-reduce-risk-of-falls-in-elderly-people\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" title=\"Read our guide to mobility aids that reduce the risk of falls\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eoccupational therapist\u003c\/a\u003e as needing extra protection, a thicker 7-10 cm mat is worth considering. Look for high-impact foam, not soft upholstery foam, as the difference in energy absorption is significant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNon-Slip Base and Bevelled Edges\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA non-slip base keeps the mat stable on hard floors and carpet. This matters both for the person who might land on it and for carers or family members walking past at night. Bevelled edges (sloped rather than square) reduce the chance of anyone catching a toe on the corner. A reflective strip around the edge adds visibility in low light, which is particularly useful for dementia care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFolding and Easy Storage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost quality bedside crash mats fold into two or three hinged sections. This makes it easy to fold the mat away during the day when the bed needs to be made, then lay it flat again at night. A folding design also makes cleaning simpler: wipe down each section with a damp cloth. Look for a vinyl or nylon cover rather than fabric, as it resists moisture and cleans quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0247\/1251\/1573\/files\/aged-care-worker-positioning-bedside-crash-mat-600_600x600.jpg?v=1779527577\" alt=\"Aged care worker positioning a bedside crash mat beside a low bed in a residential care facility.\" style=\"float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho Uses Bedside Crash Mats\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBedside crash mats are used in a range of settings.

High-density foam absorbs impact and cushions the landing, which can significantly reduce bruising, fractures and soft-tissue injuries when someone rolls or slides out of bed. They work best when positioned flat against the side of the bed each night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I choose the right thickness for a bedside crash mat?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA mat that is 5 cm thick suits most home situations and is low enough to step over safely. Thicker mats (7-10 cm) are used in aged care settings where higher fall risk has been assessed by an occupational therapist (OT). If you are unsure, your OT can advise on the right thickness for the individual's needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan bedside crash mats be used in dementia care?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. They are widely used in dementia care because people with dementia are more likely to attempt to leave the bed unassisted. Look for a mat with a reflective strip around the edge for visibility in low light. A folding design makes it easy to move when the bed needs to be made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use my Home Care Package or NDIS funding to buy a bedside crash mat?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn many cases, yes.
