Machine-Washable Bed Bumpers - Quilted Protection (200 x 96 cm Open Ends With Split Base - High)
- High-Sided Plus Split Net Base - combines the 96cm high-sided height for overlay or airflow mattress profiling beds with the split net base floor-clear feature and machine-washable FR polyester quilted construction; this is the highest-specification option for overlay mattress beds in machine-washable infection-control environments, addressing height coverage, floor hygiene, and deep decontamination simultaneously.
- Split Net Base Floor-Clear - the connected split net base holds the bumper off the floor as the profiling bed side rails are lowered, eliminating floor-contamination of the bumper surface during routine care access; on overlay mattress beds where nursing intensity is typically higher and rail-lowering occurs more frequently, the floor-clear feature provides continuous hygiene protection between laundering cycles.
- Machine-Washable 200x96cm Open Ends - 200cm full profiling bed length; 96cm high-sided height for overlay and airflow mattress configurations; FR polyester quilted construction; machine washable per HTM 01-04; open ends; hook and loop fastening; the standard-height CB version is NCL-MWBPB-CB (200x76cm); the three-rail CB version is NCL-MWBPBX-CB (200x105cm).
- CQC Regulation 12 Premium Specification - CQC Regulation 12 documentation should confirm the overlay configuration, the 96cm height rationale, the split net base clinical rationale, and the machine-washable specification rationale; the net base mechanism should be inspected at each use; Mental Capacity Act 2005 best interest obligations apply.
Machine-Washable Quilted Bumper with Split Net Base - 200x96cm - High-Sided
The Machine-Washable Quilted Bumper with Split Net Base (200x96cm, High-Sided) provides full profiling bed length high-sided padded coverage for overlay mattress configurations, in machine-washable FR polyester with a split net base preventing floor contact when rails are lowered. Standard-height CB version is NCL-MWBPB-CB (200x76cm); three-rail CB version is NCL-MWBPBX-CB (200x105cm).

Regulatory Compliance
MHRA guidance on full rail coverage for overlay configurations is satisfied by the 96cm height. The split net base addresses the NHS IPC floor-contact contamination concern during rail-lowering. FR polyester meets the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requirement. Machine washability satisfies HTM 01-04 deep decontamination standards. CQC Regulation 12 documentation should confirm all three specification rationales - height, net base, and machine washability. Mental Capacity Act 2005 best interest obligations apply.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do the split net base and machine washability work together?
The two features address different contamination events at different points in the care cycle. The split net base prevents floor contamination at every rail-lowering event throughout the day, maintaining the bumper surface free from floor-borne contamination continuously between washes. Machine washability provides thorough decontamination during scheduled laundering cycles, addressing contamination from body fluids, surface soiling, and biological material that accumulates during use. Together, they provide continuous hygiene management - the net base prevents episodic floor contact contamination, and machine washing provides the deep decontamination reset when required by the laundering schedule or following a contamination event.
When is the high-sided CB version required rather than the standard-height CB?
The 200x96cm CB version (NCL-MWBPBH-CB) is required where the profiling bed is fitted with a pressure relief overlay or alternating pressure airflow mattress that raises the mattress surface above the standard bed base level, creating an exposed rail section above the overlay that the standard 76cm bumper (NCL-MWBPB-CB) cannot cover. The overlay thickness determines the additional height required; a 15-20cm overlay typically requires the 96cm height to maintain full rail coverage above the raised mattress surface. The bed rail risk assessment must confirm the overlay thickness and the required bumper height before procurement.
