This extra wide bariatric sliding satin base sheet with a sliding surface of 96cm x 200cm can be used in order to:

• turn in bed independently or assisted
• enter and exit the bed with minimal effort
• move up and down the bed, when used with a 4 way draw sheet
• prevent sliding down the bed

The extra wide sliding satin base sheet has a low friction central satin area that encourages movement from side-to-side and makes turning easier. The edges of the sheets are a poly-cotton blend and will minimise movement, allowing you to slide to the edge of the bed whilst minimising the likely hood of falling.

Sliding satin base sheets come in different widths and lengths to suit different beds and uses. This sliding satin base sheet is L200 x W230 cm with a satin panel L200cm x W96cm, in the centre of the sheet.

When you need more help or the person you are caring for requires some assistance to turn or move in bed the base sheet can be combined with a 4D draw sheet. This allows for 4 directional movement – sideways, upwards and downwards. The 4D draw sheet is then placed on top of the 2D sliding satin base sheet (and under the user). The draw sheet will further reduce friction and make assisted repositioning easier for the user and the caregiver.
