Machine-Washable Bed Bumpers - Quilted Protection (200 x 96 cm Open Ends - High)
- Full-Length 200x96cm High-Sided - the 200x96cm version provides full profiling bed length padded coverage at the 96cm height required for overlay or airflow mattress configurations; this is the highest-specification standard open-end version in the MWB range and the appropriate specification where full-length high-sided machine-washable coverage is required without closed-end lateral protection.
- Machine-Washable FR Polyester - fully machine washable FR polyester with quilted finish provides impact cushioning and HTM 01-04-compliant laundering decontamination; the 96cm height and machine-washable specification together address both the overlay-related height requirement and the deep laundering decontamination need in high-infection-risk or post-contamination care environments.
- Open Ends for High-Sided Overlay Beds - open-end design for air circulation and flexibility at the rail ends; hook and loop bottom fastening; the closed-end high-sided machine-washable versions are NCL-MWBHE (134x96cm) and NCL-MWBHLE (183x96cm); the standard-height full-length version is NCL-MWBPB (200x76cm); the third-rail extension version is NCL-MWBPBX (200x105cm).
- CQC Regulation 12 Compliance - CQC Regulation 12 documentation should confirm the overlay configuration, the 96cm height rationale, the open-end specification rationale, and the laundering schedule; MHRA bed rail safety guidance applies; Mental Capacity Act 2005 best interest obligations apply where the resident lacks capacity to consent to bed rail use.
Machine-Washable Quilted Bumper - 200x96cm - Open Ends - High-Sided
The Machine-Washable Quilted Bed Bumper (200x96cm, Open Ends, High-Sided) provides full profiling bed length padded coverage at 96cm height for overlay and airflow mattress configurations, in a machine-washable FR polyester quilted construction. Open ends for ventilation. The standard-height version is NCL-MWBPB (200x76cm); the third-rail version is NCL-MWBPBX (200x105cm); closed-end high-sided versions are NCL-MWBHE (134cm) and NCL-MWBHLE (183cm).

Regulatory Compliance
MHRA guidance on full rail coverage for overlay-configured profiling beds is satisfied by the 96cm height. FR polyester meets the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 fire safety requirement. Machine washability per HTM 01-04 supports NHS IPC decontamination obligations. CQC Regulation 12 documentation should confirm the overlay configuration and the 96cm height rationale. The wipe-clean equivalent for this specification is NCL-CSBPBH (200x96cm wipe-clean). Mental Capacity Act 2005 best interest obligations apply.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the 200x96cm machine-washable bumper suitable for alternating pressure airflow mattresses?
Yes, subject to confirming compatibility between the hook and loop bottom fastening and the airflow mattress side profile. Alternating pressure airflow mattresses typically have a greater depth than standard replacement mattresses, increasing the height of the exposed rail above the mattress surface; the 96cm bumper height addresses this. The machine-washable FR polyester specification also suits airflow mattress environments where more frequent laundering is required due to the higher moisture and clinical activity associated with active pressure care beds. The specific airflow mattress supplier guidance should confirm any constraints on bed accessory materials.
When should the 200x96cm be specified rather than one of the 134cm or 183cm high-sided versions?
The 200cm version (NCL-MWBPBH) should be specified where the full profiling bed rail length requires high-sided padded coverage from head to foot; the shorter 134cm (NCL-MWBH) and 183cm versions provide partial-length coverage suited to shorter rails or specific coverage requirements. For standard adult profiling beds where an overlay mattress increases the height requirement to 96cm across the full rail length, the 200x96cm is the appropriate full-coverage specification. Where closed-end protection at the rail end positions is also required, there is no 200cm closed-end machine-washable option; the 183x96cm closed-end version (NCL-MWBHLE) provides the closest alternative.
