Soft yet firm versatile support option for air mattresses
When someone is using an air mattress (sometimes known as Air-Flow or Low-Air Loss mattresses), it is very important that supports are adapted in order to ensure that the individual still gets the maximum benefit from their mattress. For this reason we do not suggest using the mesh base system or mattress topper in this situation, and instead, provide supports that are adapted to include mesh so they can be used directly on top of the mattress.
These fibre wedges with mesh sides are a soft support which can be used in the same way as the regular wedges are used, but they go directly on to the pressure mattress. The mesh is inbuilt in to the wedge meaning it can grip the mattress and goes directly under the sheet.
The intended purpose of Simple Stuff Works is therapeutic positioning of the body in the lying posture, and is a gentle therapy used for those with movement difficulties. When used correctly it may help protect and restore an individual’s body shape. The system has no Velcro or screw action fixings, so silent changes of position can be made with little disruption to the person whilst in bed.
The Simple Stuff Works way provides high quality education and therapeutic positioning equipment with an aim to eradicate the preventable problems associated with body shape distortion.
Simple Stuff Works advisors and colleagues are all highly experienced, having written some of the leading research into Postural Care and its effects. Medifab educators have been upskilled by these individuals and are ambassadors to promote protection of body shape.
Therapeutic positioning requires a comprehensive understanding from everyone involved if it is to be implemented successfully. Medifab with Simple Stuff Works is equipped to offer a range of training to support families, healthcare professionals and indeed anyone with an interest in therapeutic positioning. Our courses are accredited and license delegates to join a worldwide community of Postural Care Leaders with access to all our training materials and support.
Simple Stuff Works take pride in the fact that their equipment is silent, hygienic and simple to use. Training programs are available in Australia and New Zealand and will allow you to implement this powerful form of therapy as safely and as humanely as possible.
