BRIEF INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

• Back Support: When sitting up in bed, the Wedge can be placed behind the person’s back. This provides good support for the lower back/posterior to lean against. A normal pillow can also be used for upper back support.
• Anti-Slide Wedge: When the person is sitting up in bed, place the Wedge under the legs hard up against the groin. The Wedge will comfortably help the person to stay in position sitting up, and help prevent them sliding back down the bed.
• Anti-Roll Wedge: To help people who need to sleep on their side but roll onto their backs, place the Wedge against their back. The Wedge is very stable and small enough to go under the bed clothes.
• Cradle Wedge: To take the weight of the blankets off the person’s feet, place the Wedge at the bottom of the bed, under the covers.
