Bed Armchair

WHAT IS THIS PRODUCT?

The Bed Armchair is a sturdy foam support for someone to sit up in bed, and to help prevent them slipping sideways. This design is much simpler than people using a lot of pillows, which usually move around and slip out.

It is made in four individual sections. It is easy to put together, or pulled apart from behind a Patient sitting up in bed. The arm rests are adjustable and can be pulled forward to a different position to rest the person’s hands.

The pelvic/lumbar support is used under the person to support their back when sitting in a reclined position.

Three different grades of foam have been used to create the Bed Armchair:

1. For the back rest, a medium density grade of foam has been glued together with a slow recovery foam. This gives a firm but soft back support and help prevent sideways slip.
2. The pelvic/lumbar support is also made from a medium density grade foam, with a layer of slow recovery foam. This is for added Patient comfort and to prevent the spine from bending.
3. The arm rests are made from a firm grade of foam to give good support and be strong enough for the Patient to lean on, or reposition themselves without collapsing.
