Flexicare Four-Way Single Bed Top Sliding Sheet with Handles (140cm x 200cm)
The Flexicare Four-Way Single Bed Top Sliding Sheet with Handles (140cm x 200cm) is the top sheet of the Flexicare in-bed patient sliding system, designed to help patients with limited mobility turn or readjust when lying down. The system's base sheet offers a slippery surface for this top sheet to glide over, allowing carers to move patients up and down or side to side along the bed, turn them, swivel them or help them to sit up.
What's Included In My Purchase?
Who Can Benefit from the Flexicare Top Sliding Sheet?
Ideal for patients who are bed-bound but unable to move without the help of a carer, the Flexicare Top Sliding Sheet can be placed over the Flexicare Single Bed Base Sheet to create a patient sliding system. The top sheet can then slide over the slippery surface of the base sheet so patients can be shifted or turned in the bed, which can reduce their risk of bed sores or discomfort caused by lying in the same position for too long.

The Flexicare Base Sliding Sheet is made from 100%
cotton with a low friction inner lining
Enables Multi-Directional Movement
This top sheet allows movement in a range of directions so all patient adjustments can be made in a safe and dignified way. By manipulating the top sheet and sliding it over the base sheet, carers can move the patient sideways, up and down, swivel them, turn them or lift them into a sitting position.
Where Can the Base Sheet Be Used?
This top sheet can be used as part of the Flexicare In-Bed Management System either by a single carer, multiple carers and with a hoist to adjust patients who are unable to move in bed. Institutions and applications it would be especially useful for include:
- Hospitals
- Nursing/care homes
- Home care
- Children’s nursing
- Palliative care
How Does the Four-Way Top Sheet Protect Carers?
The Four-Way Top Sheet makes patient repositioning easier and safer for everyone involved. When the top sheet is moved over the base sheet, it provides leverage so patients can be shifted or tuned in a single, smooth motion. As it comes with handles, it can also be attached to a mobile hoist for individuals who need to be turned more regularly.
Suitable for Use with Lifting Hoists
If patients need to be turned very regularly, the handles of the Flexicare Top Sheet can be attached to a patient lifting hoist to further reduce physical strain on the carer. The sheet can then be lifted using the hoist so patients can be gently turned onto their side.

How Comfortable Is the Standard Flexicare Top Sheet?
The Flexicare Top Sheet is made to be comfortable enough to lie on indefinitely as any regular bed sheet, so patients can be repositioned any time at all. To ensure the sheet is therefore as comfortable and safe as possible, it has been made from breathable, fire-retardant cotton and has a padded, quilted surface.
