Living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) can bring a range of physical challenges. Fatigue, muscle weakness, and balance issues are common, which can make everyday tasks more difficult. Fortunately, the right mobility equipment can help maintain independence, improve safety, and make daily life easier.
If you’d like more information and support, you can visit the MS Society for further guidance.
Walkers and Rollators
Walkers and rollators are excellent tools for maintaining stability and balance. A standard walker provides a firm support frame, ideal for short distances around the home. Rollators, on the other hand, usually have wheels and a built-in seat, allowing users to rest when needed.
Choosing the right walker depends on your level of mobility. Many people with MS find that a lightweight, adjustable rollator helps them move around safely and comfortably.
Manual and Powered Wheelchairs
Wheelchairs are essential for individuals whose mobility is significantly affected. Manual wheelchairs require physical strength to operate, making them suitable for those with good upper-body function.
Powered wheelchairs (or powerchairs) offer greater independence for those with limited strength or endurance. They can navigate various terrains and often come with customizable seating for added comfort.
Both manual and powered wheelchairs can make a big difference in day-to-day life, allowing users to conserve energy and maintain independence.
Bathroom and Daily Living Aids
MS can make everyday tasks like bathing, using the toilet, or getting dressed more challenging. Bathroom aids, such as shower chairs, grab rails, and raised toilet seats, provide additional support and reduce the risk of slips and falls.
Other daily living aids, including dressing sticks, sock aids, and adaptive cutlery, can also make routine activities simpler and safer. These tools may seem small, but they can have a big impact on independence and confidence.
Seating and Home Adaptations
Comfortable and supportive seating is vital for people with MS. Recliner chairs, specialist cushions, and adjustable beds help reduce fatigue and pressure on muscles and joints.
Home adaptations, like stairlifts or ramps, can make the home environment safer and more accessible, especially if mobility fluctuates day to day.
VAT Relief for Mobility Equipment
It’s important to note that any mobility equipment hired for someone with MS is exempt from VAT. This means you can hire aids such as wheelchairs, walkers, or bathroom equipment without paying the usual tax, making essential support more affordable.
This exemption applies specifically when the equipment is intended for personal use by someone with MS. Always check with suppliers to confirm VAT relief eligibility.
Finding the Right Equipment
Selecting the right mobility equipment can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. Working with a reputable supplier ensures you receive guidance on what best suits your needs. They can provide demonstrations, advice, and sometimes even trial periods for equipment.
Investing in the right aids can improve safety, comfort, and independence, helping you or your loved one live more confidently with MS.
Finding the Right Support for Daily Life
Choosing the right mobility equipment can help make everyday tasks easier and safer for anyone living with Multiple Sclerosis. From walkers and wheelchairs to bathroom aids, the right support can improve independence and confidence.

Ultra Low Floor Bed with Junior Kit: Safer sleep for children
A simple solution for trick bedtimes
Having a child with additional needs can sometimes make bedtimes stressful. You might worry about falls or limbs getting trapped in head or foot boards. As a result, safety becomes a top priority. The Ultra Low Floor Bed with Junior Kit helps to ease these worries. It offers a close-to-floor position that reduces fall height and adds protection.
How the Junior kit keeps children safer
When fitted, the junior kit converts an ultra low floor bed into a child safe bed that meets the British children’s bed standard. In addition, padded head and foot board bumpers add comfort. Moreover the padded, mesh side rail along with the protection plates helps to reduce the risk of entrapment. Therefore the bed creates a safer sleep space for children.
Tailored profiling for comfort and care
This bed gives many profiling options so you can tailor the position to your child’s needs. For example functions include auto-regression, kneebreak, and Trend and Anti Trend up to 15 degrees. Furthermore, the handset includes auto-safety features and can be kept in a lockable handset pocket to prevent tampering. Because of this caring is easier and safer.
Why hiring is smart and simple
Hiring the Ultra Low Floor Bed with Junior kit is convenient. First, the bed is delivered to you set up and ready to use, so there is no need to work out how the parts slot together. Second, protection plates are included for extra safety. Third, we carry out a safety check, and give a full product demonstration. As a result, you will feel confident using the bed before we leave.
Practical benefits for caregivers
Being able to adjust the height of the bed makes caregiving easier on the back. In addition, close-to-floor positioning is especially useful when low positioning is important. Therefore, the bed helps with fall prevention, entrapment protection, and comfortable care.
Flexible delivery and hire terms
We offer flexible hire terms that fit around your life. Also, we deliver nationwide and provide delivery options such as same day, next day and weekend delivery. With so much flexibility, hiring this bed is a practical choice for many families.
A safe sleep space
Providing a safe sleep space is essential. The Ultra Low Floor Bed with Junior Kit achieves this by combining low positioning, padded protection, and advanced profiling options. In short, it is a game changer for children who need extra care at bedtime.

Mobility equipment for spinal cord injury can make everyday life easier, safer, and more comfortable. From wheelchairs and powerchairs to bathroom aids and hoists, the right support helps restore independence and peace of mind. In this guide, we’ll look at the most common types of mobility aids, share tips for choosing the right equipment, and explain how VAT relief works when you hire.
Wheelchairs and Powerchairs for Spinal Injury
Wheelchairs are often the first piece of equipment people think about. A manual wheelchair is ideal if you have the strength and want to stay active, while a powerchair offers electric controls for effortless movement. Both options can be customised with cushions and seating systems to improve posture and comfort.
Comfort and Pressure Care Equipment
Staying comfortable and protecting your skin is really important. Special cushions, seating systems, and pressure-relief mattresses help prevent sores and keep you supported throughout the day and night.
Transfer Aids for Severe Mobility Loss
Moving safely from bed to chair or into the bathroom is made easier with the right tools. Hoists (ceiling or mobile) support safe lifting, while transfer boards and slide sheets are handy for shorter moves. In some cases, standing frames are used for therapy and health benefits.
Bathroom Aids for Spinal Cord Injury
Bathrooms can feel like a challenge, but the right aids make them much more accessible. Shower chairs, bath lifts, commodes, toilet frames, and grab rails all provide extra safety and independence.
Home and Vehicle Adaptations for Independence
Simple changes around the home can make a huge difference. Ramps, riser-recline chairs, stairlifts, and widened doorways improve access and mobility indoors. For travel, vehicle adaptations such as hand controls and swivel seats keep you moving. Even small gadgets like adapted cutlery or smart home devices can help with daily independence.
Hiring Mobility Equipment and VAT Relief
Did you know that if you hire mobility equipment designed for disabled people, you often don’t have to pay VAT? This means wheelchairs, hoists, commodes, and other specialist aids can usually be hired without the extra cost.
The process is very straightforward. We will just ask you to sign a short form confirming who the equipment is for, and that’s it. It’s a quick step that helps keep essential equipment more affordable. So, whether you’re buying or hiring, it’s always worth checking about VAT relief.
Helpful Tips for Choosing Mobility Aids
Finding the right equipment can feel like a big task, but a few simple steps can make the process much easier. Here are some helpful things to keep in mind when you’re choosing mobility aids:
Get a professional assessment. An occupational therapist or wheelchair service can guide you toward equipment that’s suited to your individual needs.
Ask about VAT relief. Many items designed for disabled people can be bought or hired without VAT, so don’t be afraid to check with your supplier.
Think long-term. Look into servicing, spare parts, and how easily equipment can be adjusted as your needs change.
Consider your lifestyle. If you love being outdoors, a sturdy wheelchair or scooter might be important. For comfort at home, cushions and pressure-relief mattresses may take priority.
Try before you buy (if possible). Some suppliers offer demonstrations or short hire periods, giving you the chance to see how the equipment works for you.
Where to Find Spinal Injury Support
For extra advice and community support, charities like the Spinal Injuries Association (SIA) are an excellent place to start. They provide resources, peer support, and practical guidance for people living with spinal cord injuries.
We’re Here to Help with Mobility Equipment
Whether you’re looking to buy or hire, we’re always happy to guide you through the options. The right equipment can bring independence, comfort, and confidence, and we’d love to help you find the best fit. To explore what’s available, check out our product page.
“Can We Still Go?” Yes. Meet the Dyno All Terrain Adaptive Buggy
Family life is built on moments. The Saturday morning park run. The seaside day trip. The woodland walk with muddy boots and hot chocolate at the end. For most families, these adventures are a given. But for parents of a child with hypotonia, the reality can feel very different and the question of how to bring their child along for the ride is one they face every single time they step out the door.
That’s exactly why we are so excited to introduce the Dyno All Terrain Adaptive Buggy, now available to hire. it is a specialist adaptive stroller designed to give children with low muscle tone the postural support they need, while giving their families the freedom to go anywhere.
What Is Hypotonia? Understanding Low Muscle Tone in Children
Hypotonia, commonly referred to as low muscle tone is a condition in which the muscles have reduced tension and resistance to movement. It is not a diagnosis in itself but rather a clinical finding that can be associated with a wide range of underlying conditions, including Down Syndrome, Prader-Willi Syndrome, Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), Cerebral Palsy, and many cases of global developmental delay.
In young children, hypotonia often presents as:
Floppy limbs and reduced resistance when lifted
Poor head and neck control, particularly in infancy
Difficulty sitting upright without support for extended periods of time
Delayed motor milestones such as sitting, standing, or walking
Fatigue during physical activity due to the additional effort required to maintain posture
Feeding and speech difficulties in some cases
For parents, receiving a hypotonia diagnosis for their child or even a referral while awaiting a formal diagnosis can be overwhelming. The day-to-day realities of caring for a child with low muscle tone go far beyond the clinical setting. And one of the most common challenges? Simply getting out and about as a family.
The Hidden Challenge: Why Outings Can Be So Difficult for Children with Low Muscle Tone
A child with hypotonia may look just like any other child. But the effort required to stay upright even in an ordinary pushchair can be exhausting. Standard buggies offer little to no postural support. For a child with low muscle tone, a trip to the park can quickly result in slumping, discomfort, and fatigue long before the fun has really begun.
As children grow heavier, the problem gets worse. Many families find that standard pushchairs are no longer safe or suitable. But the move to specialist adaptive equipment can feel like a huge step. The options can seem clinical, complex, or simply hard to access.
This is the gap we want to help close. Every child deserves to feel the wind on their face on a morning jog. Every child deserves to explore a forest trail or beach. And every family deserves to do those things together.
Introducing the Dyno All Terrain Adaptive Buggy – Now Available to Hire
The Dyno All Terrain Adaptive Buggy is a three-wheeled, folding adaptive stroller. It is built specifically for children who need postural support. It is also built for active families who refuse to let a diagnosis define their adventures.
Designed by Leggero, the Dyno combines a robust all-terrain frame with a highly customisable therapeutic seating system. It is suitable for children with mild to significant postural support needs, including many children living with hypotonia. And crucially, it doesn’t look or feel clinical. It looks like a buggy. A brilliant, adventure-ready, go-anywhere buggy.
We are proud to offer the Dyno Adaptive Buggy for hire. This makes specialist equipment accessible to more families, more easily.
Key Features of the Dyno All Terrain Adaptive Buggy for Children with Hypotonia
Postural Support Seating System for Children with Low Muscle Tone
The Dyno features the RESPOND® Contoured Seating System. It is a fully adjustable, body-shaped seat designed to cradle and support a child’s trunk, pelvis, and hips. For children with low muscle tone who struggle to sit upright, this system provides the external support their muscles cannot yet reliably offer on their own.
Adjustable settings include seat depth, back length, leg length, chest width, and hip angle. This ensures the buggy can be precisely fitted to your child’s individual needs. This level of customisation is rarely found in mainstream pushchairs. It is one of the key reasons the Dyno All Terrain Adaptive Buggy stands apart.
The ACTIVATOR™ Dynamic Seating System, Supporting Therapeutic Movement
One of the most remarkable features of the Dyno Adaptive Buggy is the ACTIVATOR™ Dynamic Seating component. It is a system unique to Leggero. It allows the seat back to gently flex and extend with the child’s movement, rather than holding them completely rigid.
This is particularly significant for children with hypotonia. The ACTIVATOR™ system allows natural movement while maintaining correct pelvic positioning. It does not force a child into a fixed, static position. This has several therapeutic benefits:
It encourages active engagement with the surrounding environment
It promotes strengthening of the upper and lower extremities through movement
It allows children with fluctuating tone to move freely without losing postural support
It uses pivot points based on paediatric anatomical data, making it genuinely designed for children’s bodies
For a child with low muscle tone, this dynamic approach can support physical development. This is especially valuable during the crucial early intervention years.
All-Terrain Capability Built for Real Family Life
The Dyno All Terrain Adaptive Buggy is not designed for smooth shopping centre floors alone. It is built for real life. The three-wheeled frame features a built-in suspension system that absorbs bumps and uneven ground. Pneumatic 16″ rear wheels and a swivelling 10″ front wheel handle grass, gravel, woodland paths, cobblestones, and beaches with ease.
For families of children with hypotonia who have felt limited in where they can go, this represents a genuine change. The Dyno Adaptive Buggy opens doors, quite literally.
Head Support for Children with Low Muscle Tone
Reduced head and neck control is one of the most common challenges for children with hypotonia. It is something many parents worry about deeply when heading out. Our Dyno All Terrain Adaptive Buggy hire comes fitted as standard with the Comfort Plus Headrest. It is a single-pad headrest designed to provide comfortable, supportive resting for the back of the head during outings.
The Comfort Plus is a practical and unobtrusive solution. It is ideal for children who need gentle head support rather than complex lateral positioning. It cradles the head softly during transport. This helps reduce the fatigue that comes from struggling to hold the head upright over extended periods. It also provides a secure resting position during transit, which is particularly valuable when the buggy is used on public transport or in vehicles.
For families hiring the Dyno Adaptive Buggy for day trips, holidays, or regular outings, the Comfort Plus Headrest offers reassuring everyday support. Your child stays comfortable and safe, free to enjoy the adventure.
One-Step Fold and Compact Storage for Busy Families on the Go
We know that families with children with additional needs are often managing a great deal. The Dyno All Terrain Adaptive Buggy folds in one simple step. It collapses into a compact form that is easy to load into a car, store in a hallway, or take on public transport. It has also been tested to BS ISO 7176-19. This is the international standard for wheeled mobility devices used as seats in vehicles. It means the buggy can be used safely on buses and other public transport where required.
Who Is the Dyno All Terrain Adaptive Buggy Suitable For?
The Dyno Adaptive All Terrain Buggy is designed for children up to 36kg (approximately 5st 7lbs) with a wide range of postural support needs. It is suitable for children whose hypotonia is associated with conditions including:
Down Syndrome
Prader-Willi Syndrome
Global Developmental Delay
Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA)
Cerebral Palsy with hypotonic presentation
Undiagnosed or pending diagnosis with low muscle tone
Why Hire the Dyno Adaptive Buggy?
Specialist adaptive equipment represents a significant financial investment, and needs change as children grow, develop, or receive updated diagnoses. Hiring the Dyno All Terrain Adaptive Buggy allows families to:
Access premium adaptive equipment without the full upfront cost
Trial the buggy before committing to a purchase
Adapt as their child’s needs change hiring offers flexibility that buying outright does not
Use it for a specific trip, holiday, or period of need without a long-term financial commitment
Whether you are planning a family holiday, an outdoor event, or simply need a reliable adaptive buggy, hiring the Dyno gives your family the freedom to move without missing out.
Reclaiming Family Adventures One Outing at a Time
A diagnosis of hypotonia, whatever the underlying cause, does not mean your child’s story is limited. It does not mean Sunday walks are off the table, or that your family has to sit out the adventures that other families take for granted.
The Dyno All Terrain Adaptive Buggy was built on exactly this belief, that children with postural support needs deserve to be out there, in the world, taking in the same sights, sounds, and experiences as every other child. That parents deserve to feel confident and free when they head out the door.
Low muscle tone may affect how your child moves through the world. But with the right support, it doesn’t have to define where they go.
Portable Shower Pod: A Practical, Accessible Shower Solution for Home Care
When a shower becomes difficult to use, everyday routines can quickly feel more stressful. That is why the Portable Shower Pod offers such a useful solution. It gives you a safe, compact and easy to install shower option without the need for major home renovation. As a result, it is ideal for short term care, rehabilitation, temporary support and longer term use too.
This portable shower pod is designed to make showering easier, safer and more comfortable for people with reduced mobility or disabilities. It also helps carers by providing access that supports daily care. With its clever design and compact size, it can be installed in a range of home settings where access to water and drainage is available.
A Compact and Convenient Shower Solution
One of the main benefits of the portable shower pod is how simple it is to fit into the home. Unlike a traditional bathroom conversion, this mobile shower solution does not require major adaptation. It can be connected to existing water and drainage systems, which helps reduce disruption and keeps installation straightforward.
The pod is also a great choice when space is limited. Its compact design means it does not take up much room, while still offering a practical and comfortable showering area. This makes it a smart option for home care situations where a full bathroom redesign is not possible or not wanted.
Safe, Accessible and Easy to Use
The portable shower pod has been created with accessibility in mind. It includes a low threshold shower tray and can be used with a ramp, which helps make it suitable for wheelchair users and people using a shower chair. This makes it a useful wheelchair accessible shower and a reliable disabled access shower for a wide range of needs.
In addition, the half height shower doors make it easier for carers to assist from outside the pod. This supports safer and more dignified care while still helping the user keep as much independence as possible. The opaque doors also help maintain privacy, which is an important part of accessible showering and respectful day to day care.
Designed for Comfort and Peace of Mind
The Portable Shower Pod also includes a number of features that help make showering more comfortable. The non slip shower tray helps improve safety, while the strong magnetic doors and water tight seals support a secure and reliable showering space. These details matter, especially when the shower is being used every day.
A movable holder for toiletries adds extra convenience, while the boiler behind the pod helps warm the water. Together, these features create a more pleasant and practical shower experience. As a mobility shower, it supports both the user and the carer, making it easier to manage personal care at home.
A Flexible Choice for Many Care Needs
Because it is so versatile, the portable shower pod can be used in many different care situations. It is suitable for rehabilitation, temporary care, palliative care and extra support at home. It can also be a helpful long term option when a permanent bathroom alteration is not the right choice.
This makes the portable shower pod a valuable temporary shower solution that still delivers comfort, safety and ease of use. It supports wheelchair friendly showers, accessible showering and everyday bathing needs without adding unnecessary pressure to the home. For many families, that flexibility makes all the difference.

World Parkinson’s Day takes place on Saturday 11th April 2026. It is a time to raise awareness of Parkinson’s, support people living with the condition, and recognise the many different ways it can affect daily life. More information can be found on the Parkinson’s website.
What Is World Parkinson’s Day?
World Parkinson’s Day helps shine a light on Parkinson’s and the people it affects. It also gives friends, families, carers, health professionals, and communities a chance to learn more. Parkinson’s is a condition that can affect movement, balance, and everyday routines. Parkinson’s UK notes that there are over 40 symptoms, and that everyone’s experience is different.
That is why awareness matters. The more people understand about Parkinson’s, the better they can offer support, patience, and practical help. It also encourages open conversations about what life with Parkinson’s can look like, both at home and in the community.
Parkinson’s Symptoms and Daily Life
Parkinson’s can affect people in different ways. However, some of the main motor symptoms include tremor, stiffness, and slowness of movement. These symptoms can make everyday tasks more tiring and can change how a person moves around the home or gets out and about.
Because of this, daily routines may need to change over time. Simple tasks such as standing up, turning in bed, walking across a room, or moving between rooms can become harder. Small changes can make a big difference, especially when they help people feel safer and more confident.
How Mobility Equipment Can Support Parkinson’s
Mobility equipment and daily living aids can play an important role in supporting independence. Parkinson’s UK explains that there is a wide range of equipment, living aids, and technology that can make daily life a little easier. This can include items that help with getting around, moving safely at home, and carrying out everyday tasks.
For example, grab rails, walking aids, wheelchairs, bed support equipment, and other home adaptations may help people feel more secure in familiar spaces. In addition, the right equipment can reduce strain for both the person living with Parkinson’s and the people supporting them.
The important thing is that support should feel personal. There is no single solution that suits everyone, because Parkinson’s affects each person differently. That is why practical, thoughtful equipment choices matter so much.
Choosing the Right Parkinson’s Equipment
When looking at mobility equipment, it is wise to get the right advice first. Parkinson’s UK recommends speaking to an occupational therapist, physiotherapist, speech and language therapist, or Parkinson’s nurse before buying equipment. It also advises trying items where possible, so you can choose something that suits the person and their needs.
This approach matters because good equipment should make life easier, not harder. It should fit into daily routines, support movement, and help people stay as independent as possible for as long as possible. As a result, the focus is not only on the item itself, but on how well it works in real life.
Supporting Your Journey with Mobility Equipment
At Mobility Hire, we understand that the need for mobility support can come at different stages of a Parkinson’s journey. It may be needed after a diagnosis. It can also become necessary as symptoms change. Some people need support for a short period, while others require longer-term assistance.
That is why we aim to help in a practical way. We focus on equipment that can help make everyday life feel more manageable, more comfortable, and more dignified. We know that people do not just need products. They need reassurance, flexibility, and support that feels human.
Whether someone is looking for help at home, support with movement, or equipment that makes daily routines easier, the right choice can bring peace of mind. It can also help families and carers feel more confident too.
If you would like to explore options further, you can contact us to start your hire journey and we will be happy to guide you through the next steps.
World Parkinson’s Day 2026: A Time to Learn and Act
World Parkinson’s Day is a good moment to pause, learn, and show support. It reminds us that Parkinson’s is not just about symptoms. It is about people, routines, relationships, and quality of life.
This year, let us use 11 April 2026 to listen, learn, and raise awareness. Let us also remember that practical support matters. Small changes, clear information, and the right mobility equipment can help people keep doing more of what matters to them.
Ascenda Riser Bed for independence and dignity at home
The Ascenda Riser Bed for Independence and dignity at home is built to help people stay independent and sleep more comfortably. In short, it makes transfers easier and reduces the need for extra equipment. Right away you will see how the rise function, tilt-in-space mechanism and continuous mattress surface work together to give safe, calm transitions. If you read on, you will learn who benefits most, which safety features matter, and how to try or hire the bed for a real home setting.
What is a rise and recliner chair bed? (riser bed for home care)
A rise and recliner chair bed is an electric chair and bed in one. It has separate controls for the backrest, leg rest and chair tilt. Because of this, the user can adjust posture, elevate legs or move to standing with help from the rise function. In other words, it is a versatile riser bed for home care that supports both rest and daily activity.
Who benefits from a riser bed for home care
People with chronic pain, arthritis or circulation issues gain real benefits. For example, being able to elevate the legs reduces swelling and improves comfort. Moreover, the chair bed offers a tailored fit because each element adjusts independently. As a result, users often need fewer risky transfers and carers find night time care simpler and safer.
Seamless comfort and gap free mattress surface
The Ascenda supports independent transfers with a continuous mattress surface that reduces gaps. Therefore, pressure distribution improves and bedding stays in place during movement. Furthermore, the bed lowers to a fully horizontal sleeping position for calm, predictable transitions. Overall, seamless comfort helps preserve dignity and ease of use.
Safety features of the Ascenda riser bed
Safety is central to the design. The tilt-in-space action gives steady position changes so users feel secure. Pillow clips keep cushions in place during movement. A wall protection bar helps protect room surfaces. In addition, the leg rest folds inside the bed footprint so no extra space is needed for operation. This makes the Ascenda ideal for smaller rooms.
Easy controls with an intuitive handset
The handset is simple and easy to use. It is backlit for night time operation and includes a one touch entrance and exit function. Also, a lockout option prevents accidental use and gives carers peace of mind. In short, the Ascenda keeps controls straightforward and reliable.
Adjustable seat depths for an individualised fit
The seat depth can be set to 400 mm, 450 mm or 500 mm so the bed adapts to different body shapes and needs. Consequently, posture support improves and users experience better comfort. Combined with the continuous mattress surface, this feature supports pressure care and a tailored fit.
How the Ascenda supports independence and dignity at home
The Ascenda is designed to put the user first. It helps people get in and out with less support and it reduces the number of risky transfers. Therefore, users keep more independence. Families and care teams find daily routines easier and more dignified because the bed responds to real needs.
Hire, try before you buy and simple next steps
We make hiring the Ascenda simple. You can hire week by week and keep the bed for as long as you need. If you are unsure, try our Try Before You Buy scheme. This lets you hire the Ascenda long enough to decide if it suits your needs. If you buy afterwards we credit the minimum rental charge towards the purchase.
If you want to see how the Ascenda riser bed could help you or a loved one, contact our team today. Call us to discuss options, or order online to start your hire period.

The Roho Dry Floatation Air Mattress is now available to hire as an optional mattress for the Opera RotoBed rotating chair bed. Lightweight and non powered, it helps distribute pressure and supports healing while being easy to clean.
What is it and how does it work
The air mattress is made from soft, interconnected air cells that conform precisely to the body. In fact the system used 720 air cells to cradle the body and spread pressure more evenly. This is because each cell moves with the body, the mattress reduces friction and shear when it matters most.
Zoned, adjustable support for different needs
Importantly, the air mattress is split into four independently adjustable sections. This zoning lets carers tune each area to provide a low pressure environment for different contact points, which can help create a better healing environment and reduce risk to soft tissue.
Practical benefits for users
First, the mattress is non powered, so it continues to provide pressure relief even during a power cut. Second, drainage holes present in the base help moisture to move away from the body, improving hygiene and comfort. Lastly, the mattress is lightweight and easy to handle, so it works well as an overlay on top of an existing mattress or as a direct alternative to the RotoBed standard mattress.
