Deep Pile Polyester Bumpers (134 x 96 cm)
- 96cm High-Sided Air-Permeable Fleece - the 134x96cm high-sided version provides the air-permeable deep-pile polyester fleece protection at the greater height required for profiling beds with mattress overlays or raised rail configurations; where a seizure-prone patient is also sleeping on a pressure relief overlay, the 96cm height ensures the air-permeable surface covers the full exposed rail above the overlay mattress level.
- Seizure and Overlay Mattress Dual Requirement - the high-sided specification is appropriate where the clinical assessment identifies both the seizure/involuntary movement indication for air-permeable fleece and the overlay mattress configuration requiring 96cm coverage height; both requirements must be present to justify this version over the standard 134x76cm (NCL-CSHP1).
- Full-Length Hook and Loop - Machine Washable - full-length hook and loop fastening along the bottom edge for secure attachment during involuntary movement episodes; machine washable for HTM 01-04-compliant laundering decontamination; the 134cm body length suits shorter rail configurations or partial-length coverage requirements within the six-size CSHP range.
- CSHP Range Sizing - 134x96cm high-sided (NCL-CSHP1H); standard 134x76cm is NCL-CSHP1; extended-length options are NCL-CSHP18 (183x76cm), NCL-CSHP18H (183x96cm), NCL-CSHP3 (200x76cm), NCL-CSHP3H (200x96cm); bed rail and seizure risk assessments must together confirm the appropriate size selection.
Deep Pile Polyester Bumper - 134x96cm - High-Sided - Air-Permeable

Regulatory Compliance
The same NICE CG137/NG217 seizure safety rationale and MHRA bed rail safety requirements applicable to the standard 134x76cm version (NCL-CSHP1) apply here. The 96cm height additionally satisfies MHRA full-height coverage requirements for overlay-configured beds. CQC Regulation 12 documentation should confirm both the seizure risk assessment (supporting the air-permeable specification) and the bed rail risk assessment (confirming the 96cm height and the bed configuration). Mental Capacity Act 2005 best interest obligations apply.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are deep-pile polyester fleece bumpers appropriate for all seizure-prone patients?
The CSHP air-permeable fleece bumpers are appropriate where the seizure or neurological risk assessment identifies face or airway contact with the bumper surface during a seizure as a specific clinical concern. Not all seizure types present this risk to the same degree; the clinical team should assess whether the individual patient's seizure pattern includes tonic-clonic episodes or other presentations where sustained face contact with the bumper is a foreseeable risk. Where airway contact is not a specific identified risk, conventional bumper materials may be adequate. The clinical assessment and care plan documentation should record the rationale for the air-permeable specification.
When should the 96cm high-sided version be specified for a seizure-prone patient?
The 96cm version (NCL-CSHP1H) should be specified where the seizure-prone patient's bed is also fitted with a pressure relief overlay or airflow mattress that raises the mattress surface above the standard bed base level, creating an exposed rail section above the overlay that a 76cm bumper would not cover. Seizure-prone patients frequently require pressure relief mattresses as part of their care plan if they have limited mobility; this combination of seizure risk and overlay mattress is therefore a common clinical scenario in high-dependency care. Both the seizure and overlay configurations should be confirmed in the bed rail risk assessment before specifying.
