The Deep Pile Polyester Bumper (200x96cm) is the highest specification in the CSHP air-permeable fleece range, providing full profiling bed length coverage at 96cm high-sided height for seizure-prone patients on overlay mattress profiling beds. Full-length hook and loop fastening; machine washable. Standard-height 200cm version is NCL-CSHP3; the complete range spans six size options across three lengths and two heights.

All compliance requirements applicable across the CSHP range - NICE CG137/NG217 seizure safety, MHRA bed rail safety, HTM 01-04 machine-washable decontamination, CQC Regulation 12 documentation, and Mental Capacity Act 2005 best interest obligations - apply to this highest-specification version. Both the full-length 200cm coverage and the 96cm height must each be confirmed as clinically indicated in the seizure and bed rail risk assessments before specifying; the maximum specification should not be defaulted to without clinical justification.
When is the full-length high-sided 200x96cm the appropriate CSHP specification?
The 200x96cm version (NCL-CSHP3H) is appropriate where the seizure risk assessment confirms that full-length rail coverage is required (seizure movement extends along the entire rail), and the bed configuration includes a mattress overlay requiring the 96cm height to cover exposed rail above the overlay surface. Where either condition is absent - where shorter coverage is adequate, or where no overlay is in use - a lower specification from the range is more appropriate. The 200x96cm version is the most complex to remove and refit for laundering; this handling consideration should be factored into the care plan for patients requiring frequent bedding changes.
How does the CSHP range relate to other air-permeable or breathable bed safety products?
The CSHP deep-pile polyester fleece range is specifically designed for air-permeability at the face contact point during seizure episodes, a clinical requirement not shared by most standard cotside bumper ranges. The earlier net cover ranges (NCL-NET, NCL-NETL, NCL-NETPB) use a breathable mesh that is permeable to air and visible through, but these net covers address entrapment prevention rather than providing impact cushioning. The CSHP range provides both cushioned impact protection and air permeability in a single product specifically indicated for the seizure care setting.
