WHAT IS THIS PRODUCT?

The Thermoregulating Top Sheet is designed for people who may who not be able to control their body temperature when sleeping. The Duvet Cover may sometimes be known as a quilt or doona. The reason people may not be able to control their body temperature may be due to a number of reasons that may include:

  • A reaction to medication
  • Menopause
  • A physical disability that prevents someone from removing the bed blankets
  • A personal condition such as a form of hyperhidrosis, etc.

About the Thermoregulating (TR) Material

TR Material contains micro-encapsulated Phase Change Materials (PCMs), and was first developed to help astronauts maintain their body temperature. The material should help to ‘keep cool people warm’ and ‘keep warm people cool’. The material allows heat from the body to escape, or if the body is getting cold, it traps the warmth. Many people who are undergoing cancer treatment such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy may benefit from the cooling material.

WHO IS THIS PRODUCT SUITABLE FOR?

The Thermoregulating Top Sheet is suitable for someone who runs too hot or too cold at night or when sleeping.

BRIEF INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Place the Mattress Topper on the mattress. The four elastic corner straps are long enough to fit very deep mattresses . Fit the elastic straps under the corners of the mattress and adjust the elastic using the buckle to make a secure fit. Do not over tighten the elastic straps so the elastic will be able to expand when the person gets into bed.

When fitting, be aware that the TR Mattress Topper material does not have any stretch properties, so the material may crease up under the patient. The benefit of stopping perspiration may be more beneficial for the patient without comprising pressure care. After using, as normal good nursing practice, the patient’s skin integrity should always be checked.

WHAT IS THIS PRODUCT MADE FROM?

Thermoregulating material, non-latex rubber.

Highly Flamable Material. Keep away from flames, cigarettes, etc. Store in a cool, dry place away from any potential sources of ignition.

The Thermoregulating material is a delicate material that wears out more quickly than other materials. See the Important Information tab for more information.

General Warning: Be aware that this item may mask the effects if someone does get an infection. Always check with a medical therapist that this item will be suitable.

Material Warning: The Thermoregulating material is a delicate material that wears out more quickly than other materials. The wear can be due to normal use, as well as the washing process.The material can stretch and distort, so the material opens between the rows of the Thermoregulating cells. This looks ugly and will increase in size over time. Despite the damage, the Thermoregulating qualities should still help people control their temperature. To help prevent this damage, always use a large washing bag, such as the Pelican Washing Bag, when washing the product. The washing bag is designed to help protect the material from getting damaged with other items in the washing machine, and from being directly next to the drum and agitators in the machine. Remember that except for the Thermoregulating Slippers, the material should never be directly next to the person’s body when in use. The person should never lie directly on or under the Thermoregulating Material, as this can damage the material.

Warranty: All Thermoregulating products have a 3 month repair or replacement warranty, providing the product is washed in a washing bag.
