    WHAT IS THIS PRODUCT?

    The Slide & Turn Sheet is material from a slippery material, with a foam piece underneath which helps is grip onto the bed. It is sewn in a circle, that  it is effectively one slippery sheet on top of another. This helps a carer to turn someone in bed with minimal effort, and is much easier than turning on standard bed sheets. The material is thin and breathable, and shouldn’t increase sweating. 

    WHO IS THIS PRODUCT SUITABLE FOR?

    This product is great for people who have trouble turning in bed, and need help to turn over. This may be due to:

    • Old age
    • Arthritis
    • Other muscular skeletal issues
    • Parkinson’s Disease
    • Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) / Motor Neurone Disease (MND) 

    BRIEF INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

    Place the Slide & Turn Sheet on the Bed with the foam side down. This helps the Sheet stay in place. Lay in the middle of the Sheet, either directly on the material, or with a bed sheet or incontinence pad between the material and the person. A carer can then gather up the top part of the material, and with correct training, can turn the person onto their side. Later, they can be turned back to the other way. This product helps people get a better nights’ sleep, even if the Sheet looks untidy in the morning. 

    WHAT IS THIS PRODUCT MADE FROM?

    Nylon, foam.

    WARNING
