Full Bed Length Bumpers 200 x 105 cm (Extra-Wide)
- 105cm Extra-Wide for Three Wooden Side Rails - the 200x105cm extra-wide dimension is specifically designed to cover beds fitted with three wooden side rails, providing padded protection across the full height of the three-rail structure; the 105cm height exceeds the standard 76cm and high-sided 96cm options and is the appropriate specification for the specific three-wooden-rail bed configuration it is designed to cover.
- Wipe-Clean Full-Length Padded Cover - wipe-clean outer cover allows NHS IPC decontamination between patient uses; the 200cm full length provides complete inner rail coverage from head to foot of the profiling bed rail; padded interior reduces impact injury risk at the rail surface and minimises direct skin contact with the wooden rail edges during sleep and movement.
- CSBPB Range Completion - completes the CSBPB full-length bumper range alongside the standard 200x76cm (NCL-CSBPB) and high-sided 200x96cm (NCL-CSBPBH); the bed rail risk assessment determines which height is appropriate based on the bed configuration, rail type, and whether a mattress overlay is in use.
- CQC Regulation 12 and MHRA Compliance - a documented bed rail risk assessment confirming the three wooden side rail configuration and the clinical indication for the 105cm height is required; MHRA guidance on bed rail safety requires full-height coverage of all rail structures accessible to the resident; Mental Capacity Act 2005 best interest obligations apply where the resident lacks capacity to consent to bed rail use.
Full Bed Length Bumper - 200x105cm - Three Wooden Side Rails
The Full Bed Length Bumper (200x105cm, Extra-Wide) completes the CSBPB range, providing padded wipe-clean inner rail coverage across the full height of profiling beds fitted with three wooden side rails. The 105cm height exceeds the standard 76cm and high-sided 96cm options to accommodate the additional rail height of the three-rail wooden structure. Standard version is NCL-CSBPB (200x76cm); high-sided version is NCL-CSBPBH (200x96cm).

Regulatory Compliance
MHRA guidance on bed rail safety requires that all rail surfaces accessible to the resident are covered to prevent impact injury and entrapment; a three-rail wooden side rail configuration adds a further rail height section above standard and high-sided configurations that must be covered by an appropriately sized bumper. The 105cm height is the specified dimension for this three-wooden-rail configuration. CQC Regulation 12 (safe care) documentation should record the three-rail configuration, the clinical rationale for the bed and rail specification, and the bumper height selection rationale in the bed rail risk assessment. Mental Capacity Act 2005 best interest obligations apply where applicable.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the 200x105cm extra-wide and the 200x96cm high-sided version?
The 200x96cm high-sided version (NCL-CSBPBH) is designed for profiling beds with mattress overlays or raised rail configurations that increase the effective mattress-to-rail-top distance beyond what a 76cm bumper can cover. The 200x105cm extra-wide version (NCL-CSBPBX) is designed specifically for beds fitted with three wooden side rails, where the three-rail structure creates a taller rail profile than either a standard or overlay-adjusted two-rail configuration. These are distinct indications; the bed rail risk assessment should confirm which configuration - overlay or three wooden rails - is present before specifying.
Are the split-base versions of these bumpers available?
Yes. The split base versions of the CSBPB range are available as NCL-CSBPB-CB (200x76cm standard with split base), NCL-CSBPBH-CB (200x96cm high-sided with split base), and NCL-CSBPBX-CB (200x105cm extra-wide with split base). The split base prevents the bumper from touching the floor when the profiling bed side rails are lowered, eliminating the floor-contamination pathway that standard bumpers create during routine rail-lowering for care access. Where NHS IPC hygiene standards require floor-clear bumper positioning, the CB split-base version should be specified.
