Satin SIBA Two-Way Double Bed Base Sheet with Elasticated Straps (135cm x 200cm)

Designed to fit securely on a double bed, the Satin SIBA Two-Way Double Bed Base Sheet with Elasticated Straps (135cm x 200cm) can make it easier for one individual in a couple to turn over in bed. It has a single offset satin panel that allows the person on that side of the bed to shift positions with less resistance. The rest of the sheet features polycotton stripes which prevents the bed's occupants from sliding towards the edge and falling out.

Who Can Benefit From the SIBA Two-Way Base Sheet?

The SIBA Base Sheet is designed to help for those who have trouble turning or moving around in bed without assistance. Its double bed size and single offset satin panel (positioned to one side) is ideal for couples where only one partner struggles to turn in bed.

Where Can the SIBA Bed Sheet Be Used?

This sheet is ideal for patients being looked after at home, or couples where only one individual struggles to move in bed without help. It is designed to fit on top of a double bed, but only provides in-bed mobility assistance to one of the bed's occupants. If a public care facility has double beds, it can also be used in these settings. Institutions and applications it would be especially useful for include:

• Community nursing
• Hospices
• Home care
• Nursing homes/care homes

How Does the SIBA Base Sheet Prevent Injury?

This sheet can be placed on the top of most standard double mattresses to improve one users mobility in bed. Its offset satin panel is soft and comfortable, and allows the user to shift from side to side more easily, while at the same time, its polycotton edges stop the user from sliding towards the bed's edge so they don't fall and injure themselves.

How Easy Is it to Use the SIBA Base Sheet?

The SIBA Base Sheet can be easily fastened to the bed using its elasticated straps, so does not require any specialist help for use at home. Markers on the slide sheet also indicate which way up it should be placed on the mattress, and where on the bed it should be positioned.

Suitable for Independent Use

As long as they have a sufficient level of independence, the base sheet can be used by patients in their own homes to move around in bed and get in and out of bed without assistance. There is a satin panel on one side that allows them to shift position, while the polycotton material on the rest of the sheet creates friction so they can lift themselves out of bed without hurting themselves. It can therefore help individuals with mobility issues regain their confidence and independence.

Aids Patient Transfers

The base sheet can be used to support the independent movement of patients in and out of bed, but it can also be used by single carers to create a transfer assistance system. To create this system, a top draw sheet is also required.

What Top Draw Sheets Are Available?

There are two types of Satin SIBA Top Draw Sheets available for use with the SIBA Base Sheet. One allows side to side movement only, while the other can be used to shift patients side to side or up and down along the bed. You can learn more by clicking the links below:
