Bed Accessories

Bed accessories adapt an ordinary or home care bed to the person sleeping in it. This category includes bed rails and bed poles for support and safety, plus other items such as bed wedges, leg lifters, bed raisers, mattress extensions and bed cradles.

Small changes at the bed can prevent falls and reduce carer effort. A bed pole helps someone roll and sit up; bed raisers bring a low bed to a safer transfer height; a wedge can support positioning for breathing or reflux. Check compatibility with the bed and mattress, entrapment risk with any rail, and the safe working load of each item.

Thrive Lifecare stocks bed accessories at its Launceston and Cambridge showrooms and delivers Tasmania-wide. We can quote for NDIS, Home Care Packages and Support at Home, DVA or private purchase. Book a trial if you are unsure which accessory suits the bed and the person.
