Padded Footboard (Divan Beds)
- Prevents Bed Slippage on Divan Beds - padded footboard designed specifically for divan bed bases provides a cushioned footrest that prevents the resident from sliding down the bed during rest or personal care; divan-specific fitting distinguishes this model from the metal frame version (NCL-FB1M), making this the correct specification for care homes and homecare settings with divan bed bases.
- Simulated Sheepskin Cover - soft simulated sheepskin cushioned surface provides a comfortable, padded contact point for the feet and lower legs; the surface texture provides gentle resistance against foot movement that helps maintain the resident's position while remaining comfortable for extended contact during bed rest and overnight positioning.
- Quick Fit for Any Divan Size - designed for quick and simple fitting to virtually any standard divan bed size in care home, hospital, and homecare environments; the metal frame version (NCL-FB1M) is available for care environments where metal frame beds are in use; both models serve the same clinical function across different bed base specifications.
- CQC Regulation 10 and MHOR 1992 - maintaining the resident's position in bed reduces disruptive manual repositioning episodes, supporting CQC Regulation 10 (dignity) during rest periods and contributing to MHOR 1992 compliance by reducing the cumulative carer manual handling load associated with frequent slide-down repositioning in a multi-resident care environment.
Padded Footboard for Divan Beds - Simulated Sheepskin - Slip Prevention
The Padded Footboard (Divan Beds) is designed to prevent residents from sliding down divan-base beds during rest and personal care, providing a soft simulated sheepskin cushioned footrest. Quick and simple to fit to any standard divan bed size, it reduces the manual repositioning effort required from carers and supports CQC Regulation 10 dignity objectives during bed rest. The metal frame bed version is available as NCL-FB1M.

Regulatory Compliance
As with the metal frame version (NCL-FB1M), the divan bed footboard supports MHOR 1992 compliance by reducing the frequency of manual repositioning episodes, and CQC Regulation 10 (dignity) by maintaining the resident's position without repeated disruptive interventions during rest. CQC Regulation 12 (safe care) requires equipment to be fit for purpose; the divan-specific fitting mechanism should be confirmed secure and the simulated sheepskin surface inspected for integrity at each use. Where the care environment has a mixed bed base specification, both NCL-FB1M (metal frame) and NCL-FB2D (divan) should be procured to match the actual bed base type for each resident.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does this footboard differ from the metal frame version?
The clinical function - preventing bed slippage and providing a cushioned footrest - is identical between the divan version (NCL-FB2D) and the metal frame version (NCL-FB1M). The difference is in the fitting mechanism, which is designed specifically for the base profile and attachment points of divan beds in the NCL-FB2D, and for metal bed frames in the NCL-FB1M. Procuring the correct version for the bed base type is essential; fitting the wrong version may result in insecure attachment that does not provide effective slip prevention. Check the bed base specification before ordering.
Is this footboard suitable for use with adjustable divan beds?
The footboard is designed for standard divan beds. Adjustable or motorised divan beds where the base profile changes during operation should be assessed to confirm the footboard attachment remains secure and does not interfere with the bed adjustment mechanism. Where the divan base includes a powered adjustment that moves the footboard attachment points, the footboard should be removed before adjusting the bed position and refitted after adjustment to maintain both safe footboard function and safe bed operation per CQC Regulation 12.
