See also our Kits.
The Stabilizing Mesh
It is between the two layers of mesh where supports are placed around an individual to create the ideal position for them.
Lateral Supports for Air-Flow Mattresses
When someone is using an Air-Flow or Low-Air Loss mattress it is very important that supports are adapted in order to ensure that the individual still gets the maximum benefit from their mattress.
Simple Stabilizer
A multi-adjustable leg support designed to support the pelvis and the femora. The soft base allows the legs to gently relax within it and provides a gentle, passive stretch overnight. The soft support at the side also prevents external rotation of the hips and keeps the legs in a functional and secure position.
Pair of Wedges
Our wedges are a soft support which can be used in the same way our regular wedges are used but they go directly on to the pressure mattress.
Side Lying Leg Support
The Side Lying Leg Support is designed to protect the hips and pelvis when a person is lying on their side.
Padded Lateral Supports
Our padded lateral supports are perfect for providing firmer support for an individual using our therapeutic positioning equipment.
Foot Supports
Our Foot Supports are beautiful, soft, products which hold the feet in a neutral position for long periods of time.
Horseshoe Pillow
The horseshoe pillow is made from a lovely soft fibre and covered in a soft, durable polyester-mix material.
Sausage Pillows
Our sausage pillow is a lovely option for supporting an individual.
Neck Support Pillow
Our neck support pillow is a lovely option for supporting an individual’s neck.
Treat-Eezi Acute Pressure Relief Bed Sore Overlay
The Treat-Eezi Acute Pressure Relief Bed Sore Overlay is a revolutionary mattress topper which can be used on any standard single or double bed without affecting the partner’s sleep.
The Temperate Topper
The Temperate Topper wicks moisture away from the skin and allows air to circulate around an individual.
Sheets
Our sheets are made from a beautiful material which is hard wearing but lovely and soft.
Flat Stabilizing Mesh
Our Stabilizing Mesh can be used on all sizes of beds making it one of the most flexible bases of the positioning system.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are sleep positioning systems?
Sleep positioning systems are specialist supports designed to help people maintain a comfortable, supported lying position while resting or sleeping. They can include stabilising mesh, lateral supports, leg supports, wedges and pillows, selected and arranged to suit an individual’s postural care requirements.
LCS supplies Simple Stuff Works sleep positioning products for children and adults, helping healthcare professionals and carers consider positioning needs overnight as part of a wider postural care plan.
Who can benefit from a therapeutic sleep system?
A therapeutic sleep system may be suitable for children or adults who have difficulty maintaining a comfortable lying position independently or who require additional support because of their posture, mobility or care needs.
These systems may be considered for people with complex physical disabilities, neurological or neuromuscular conditions, or those who spend extended periods in bed. A healthcare professional should assess individual needs and recommend appropriate supports.
How can sleep systems support 24-hour postural management?
24-hour postural management considers how a person’s body is supported during everyday activities, sitting and lying, rather than focusing on one position alone.
A sleep system can provide additional support overnight, complementing daytime seating and positioning equipment. Supports may be arranged to help maintain alignment of the pelvis, trunk and limbs, according to the individual’s clinical goals and tolerance.
What is the Simple Stuff Works Stabilising Mesh?
The Stabilising Mesh is a base component of the Simple Stuff Works sleep positioning system. Supports are placed between two layers of mesh, helping hold them in position around the individual.
The system can be configured with different supports to meet individual positioning requirements. Its flexible design allows healthcare professionals to adapt the arrangement for use on suitable beds and mattresses.
Can sleep positioning supports be used with an air-flow or low-air-loss mattress?
Yes. Simple Stuff Works offers lateral supports specifically designed for use with air-flow and low-air-loss mattresses. These supports need to be selected and positioned carefully so they work appropriately alongside the mattress and do not compromise its intended function.
The mattress manufacturer’s guidance and the individual’s pressure-care plan should always be followed. A healthcare professional should confirm that the selected supports are compatible with the mattress and suitable for the person’s needs.
How do I choose the right sleep positioning system?
The right system depends on the individual’s age, body shape, postural presentation, mobility, skin integrity, mattress type and the position or positions they need support with overnight.
LCS works with healthcare professionals, families and carers to help identify suitable options from the Simple Stuff Works range. For advice about sleep positioning systems in Ireland, contact LCS Ltd at info@lcs.ltd or call 071 916 3905.
