If a roller is left in position it is important to ensure the person will not accidentally slip out of bed.

Unroll the duvet and remove the noodle – your bed should be made. FAQs What is the easiest way to put a duvet cover on a duvet? 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.

Always ensure that the appropriate model of raiser is used for the bed leg, e.g. castor, square leg. The following are examples of types that are available: if raisers are recommended to raise the bed for hoist access, ensure (if the increased height would make existing transfers more difficult) that they are only fitted when the hoist is available for use;

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.

It is difficult to support someone on a turning disc. If support is needed ask for an occupational therapist or physiotherapist to assess the situation. One possible solution is a turning disc with a frame which the person can hold onto. Insert a pool noodle or long cylindrical object into the duvet cover' and lay it at the top side, each side meeting the corners of your cover. The council assessor considers the type and level of your need. If you have many needs or if your needs are assessed as essential or complex the council may help directly; for example, if you have difficulty moving in bed and getting out of bed.

The roller is placed across the bed and under the user who is lying flat on the bed with the open ends facing the head and feet. Once the roller is positioned some users find they can then turn independently. Alternatively, carers can assist the user by pulling on the top layer of the roller or by pulling on a correctly positioned handling sheet on top of the roller.As most people spend between a third and a half of their lives in bed, it is important to ensure that the time spent there is as comfortable as possible, and that it is easy to move around or get in or out of the bed. Turn your duvet cover inside out and then put your arms into it and reach for the two furthest corners of the cover away from the fastenings. The aim of this factsheet is to provide information about accessories for standard beds and beds with special features that are available to help people with specific difficulties or their carers. These difficulties may include getting in and out of bed, turning over, sitting up and generally getting comfortable in bed. Comfort and sleeping well are essential not only for the well-being of a person, but also because, for some people, they may mean the difference between being able or unable to carry out activities independently. If you are experiencing difficulty with any of the activities mentioned above, you may benefit from an assessment by a physiotherapist or occupational therapist. Sometimes a change in the way you carry out an activity or a different technique may help you to manage independently instead of using equipment. 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 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; variable height beds used in the lowered position (N.B. there are beds with an extra low height as a feature); alarm systems (person, movement or pressure operated) to alert carers that a person has moved from his/her normal position; 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. Both domestic and hospital versions of variable posture beds are available. 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.A handling belt worn by the person can make it easier for a carer to help guide him/her around in a semi-standing position or across the board. No more holding the top two corners and huffing and puffing to get the whole duvet covered. Indeed, it eliminates any climbing inside, heavy lifting, awkward stuffing, shaking, or fiddly buttons. And best of all, the extra fabric flap discreetly hides the unique zipper.
