About SleepShape

SleepShape is a family of positioning cushions developed to make lying support simpler, more consistent and easier to prescribe. The range brings together a carefully chosen set of shapes and sizes that cover the most common positioning needs without overwhelming clinicians or families with unnecessary complexity.

Users who cannot change position independently in bed are at increased risk of poor body alignment, pressure injury, contractures and disturbed sleep. SleepShape cushions are designed to address these issues by providing additional support around key areas such as the head, trunk, pelvis and limbs. The shapes can be used on their own or combined to create a tailored lying solution that supports the person’s posture, comfort and wider 24-hour postural care plan.

Most SleepShape cushions are available with either microbead or microfibre filling. Microbead offers a more fluid, mouldable feel, while microfibre gives a softer, quieter support that can be adjusted in volume via an inner zip. This adjustability allows clinicians to fine-tune the support to specific clinical or user needs, including comfort.

Two outer cover options increase flexibility across different environments. The comfort cover has a softer textile feel that supports sensory comfort and helps with moisture management from sweat. The wipeable cover uses a light blue material that can easily be cleaned, maintaining hygiene for a user whilst protecting the inner support if required.

A range of SleepShape cushions are also available in a hygiene version, catering for environments with the most stringent infection control requirements. Using welded seams and patented filter technology, this support can be safely cleaned and used across multiple patients to provide needed support.

With clear numbering on each cushion and QR codes linking to online resources, SleepShape is designed not only as a set of cushions, but as a practical, easy-to-understand system for clinicians, carers and services working in night-time positioning and pressure care.

Clinical Benefits

Designed for clients who may benefit from:

  • Improved alignment in lying
    Supports can be used to maintain a more neutral position of the head, trunk, pelvis and limbs as part of a 24-hour postural care plan.

  • Support with pressure injury management
    Shapes such as Calf Support, Heel Raiser, Ear Cushion and Occiput can help offload pressure from high-risk bony areas by redistributing load to lower-risk zones.

  • Comfort and sleep quality
    Additional support can help reduce pain and discomfort, supporting more settled rest and improved tolerance of time spent in bed.

  • Contracture management and body shape care
    Cushions such as Triangular, Semifowler, Half Moon and Abduction can help accommodate or influence joint positions to manage contracture risk as clinically appropriate.

  • Support for people unable to reposition independently
    Assists clients who cannot change position in bed without help, including those with complex neurological conditions, severe physical disability or frailty.

  • Flexible, individualised solutions
    Adjustable microfibre volume and multiple shape options provide the ability to fine-tune support as needs change over time.
