Machine-Washable Bed Bumpers - Quilted Protection (200 x 105 cm Open Ends - High)
- 105cm Height for Third Rail Extension - the 105cm height covers the full three-rail structure on profiling beds fitted with a third rail extension, providing padded impact protection across all three rail levels; this is the highest-specification and final option in the MWB machine-washable range, specifically designed for the three-rail bed configuration that neither the 76cm nor 96cm versions adequately cover.
- Machine-Washable FR Polyester - fully machine washable FR polyester with quilted finish provides impact cushioning and HTM 01-04-compliant laundering decontamination; the machine-washable specification is the defining differentiator from the wipe-clean 200x105cm version (NCL-CSBPBX), providing deeper decontamination capability for high-infection-risk care environments.
- Full-Length 200cm Open Ends - 200cm full profiling bed length; open ends for ventilation at the rail end positions; hook and loop bottom fastening; this version completes the MWB machine-washable quilted bumper range; all MWB range options: NCL-MWB (134x76), NCL-MWBH (134x96), NCL-MWBL (183x76), NCL-MWBHE (134x96 closed), NCL-MWBHLE (183x96 closed), NCL-MWBPB (200x76), NCL-MWBPBH (200x96), NCL-MWBPBX (200x105).
- CQC Regulation 12 Three-Rail Compliance - a documented bed rail risk assessment confirming the three-rail configuration, the 105cm height rationale, and the machine-washable specification rationale is required; MHRA guidance on full-height rail coverage for three-rail configurations applies; Mental Capacity Act 2005 best interest obligations apply where applicable.
Machine-Washable Quilted Bumper - 200x105cm - Open Ends - Third Rail Extension
The Machine-Washable Quilted Bed Bumper (200x105cm, Open Ends) completes the MWB range, providing the 105cm height required to cover profiling beds with third rail extension configurations in a machine-washable FR polyester quilted construction. Full 200cm profiling bed length; open ends; hook and loop fastening. The wipe-clean equivalent is NCL-CSBPBX. This is the final of 8 MWB range options.

Regulatory Compliance
MHRA guidance requires full-height coverage of all rail structures accessible to the resident; for three-rail beds, the 105cm height satisfies this requirement. FR polyester meets the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 fire safety specification. Machine washability per HTM 01-04 supports NHS IPC deep decontamination requirements. CQC Regulation 12 documentation must confirm the three-rail configuration, the 105cm height rationale, and the laundering schedule. The bed rail risk assessment must address all MHRA entrapment zones for the three-rail configuration. Mental Capacity Act 2005 best interest obligations apply.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does this version differ from the wipe-clean 200x105cm NCL-CSBPBX?
Both the NCL-MWBPBX (machine-washable) and NCL-CSBPBX (wipe-clean) provide 200x105cm padded coverage for three-rail beds. The NCL-MWBPBX uses machine-washable FR polyester with a quilted finish, enabling HTM 01-04-compliant laundering decontamination; the NCL-CSBPBX uses a wipe-clean cover for surface decontamination between uses. The choice is driven by the care home's NHS IPC decontamination policy for bed rail covers; where deep laundering is required or where body fluid contamination events are anticipated, the machine-washable version is the appropriate specification.
Does the 105cm height affect the hook and loop fastening mechanism?
No. The hook and loop fastening is positioned along the bottom edge of the bumper regardless of the overall height; the 105cm height is carried by the padded bumper body above the fastening line. The fastening mechanism is the same across all MWB range versions; the height selection determines the padded coverage area, not the fastening approach. Confirm that the hook and loop fastening engages securely with the specific rail profile on the three-rail bed before the bed is returned to clinical use, and inspect the fastening integrity at each routine CQC Regulation 12 equipment check.
