Why Should I Cater Different Bedding to Different Patients?

If you work in healthcare, you’ll already know how varied the needs can be from patient to patient. From bariatric patients who require regular repositioning, to elderly and disabled patients who need comfort and protection – the type of bedding you choose can make a huge difference to their stay in a hospital or care home.

Can I Use Hospital Bed Sheets At Home?

If you are caring for someone who requires a hospital bed at home, the right bed sheets are important. Regular sheets can wear and tear more easily, and can be harder to clean when compared to professional grade hospital sheets. Therefore, our range of hospital bed sheets are also perfectly suited to be used in a private home environment.
