Machine-Washable Bed Bumpers - Quilted Protection (134 x 96 cm Closed Ends - High)
- Closed Ends for Active Patient Protection - closed-end construction adds padded cushioning at the bumper end positions, protecting against lateral impact at the rail ends for more active patients who contact the bumper corners during sleep movement; combined with the 96cm high-sided height and machine-washable specification, this is the appropriate MWB range choice for active patients on overlay mattress beds in infection-control environments.
- 96cm High-Sided for Overlay Mattresses - the 96cm height accommodates profiling beds with pressure relief overlays or alternating pressure airflow mattresses, covering the exposed rail above the raised mattress surface that a 76cm standard bumper cannot reach; FR polyester construction meets the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 fire safety requirement for soft furnishings in regulated care environments.
- Machine Washable per HTM 01-04 - fully machine washable FR polyester with quilted finish provides impact cushioning and deep laundering decontamination per HTM 01-04 thermal disinfection standards; the machine-washable specification supports thorough decontamination following body fluid contamination events where wipe-clean surfaces cannot achieve adequate depth of decontamination.
- 134x96cm in MWB Range - hook and loop bottom fastening; open-end equivalent is NCL-MWBH (134x96cm); extended-length closed-end version is NCL-MWBHLE (183x96cm); full-length open-end high-sided version is NCL-MWBPBH (200x96cm); a documented bed rail risk assessment confirming closed ends and high-sided height rationale is required before fitting.
Machine-Washable Quilted Bumper - 134x96cm - Closed Ends - High-Sided
The Machine-Washable Quilted Bed Bumper (134x96cm, Closed Ends, High-Sided) provides closed-end lateral protection alongside the 96cm height required for overlay mattress profiling beds, in a machine-washable FR polyester quilted construction. Closed ends are indicated for more active patients with lateral end contact risk. Open-end equivalent is NCL-MWBH; extended closed-end version is NCL-MWBHLE (183x96cm); hook and loop fastening.

Regulatory Compliance
The 96cm height satisfies MHRA guidance on full rail coverage for overlay-configured profiling beds. Closed ends address the MHRA lateral end impact risk for patients whose movement brings them into contact with the rail end positions. FR polyester meets the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 fire safety requirement. Machine washability provides HTM 01-04-compliant decontamination. CQC Regulation 12 (safe care) documentation should confirm the overlay configuration, the closed-end clinical rationale, and the machine-washable specification rationale. Mental Capacity Act 2005 best interest obligations apply.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should closed ends be specified for the high-sided MWB range?
Closed ends (NCL-MWBHE or NCL-MWBHLE) should be specified where the individual bed rail risk assessment identifies lateral impact at the rail end positions as a specific risk - for example, for more active patients who move extensively during sleep and contact the bumper corners, or for residents with restlessness or agitation who may impact the rail ends. Where the primary risk is impact along the rail length rather than at the ends, open-end versions (NCL-MWBH or NCL-MWBPBH) are adequate. The risk assessment findings should drive the closed-end specification.
Does closing the ends affect the machine-washing process?
No. The closed-end construction adds padded cushioning at the bumper end positions but does not affect the machine-washable specification or the laundering process. The entire bumper including the closed ends should be laundered as a single unit per the manufacturer's care label temperature guidance. Inspect the closed ends after each wash for any stitching damage or deformation that could affect their protective function at the rail end contact points.
