Quilted Cotside Bumpers with Tucks (134 cm - Closed Ends)
- Extra-Long Tucks Under the Mattress - the defining feature of the tuck bumper range is the extra-long fabric tucks that extend beneath the mattress; the mattress weight holds the tucks in position, creating a physical barrier that prevents limbs from slipping between the mattress edge and the bed rail into the sub-rail entrapment zone; this tuck mechanism is distinct from both the base sheet of the CCB connected bumpers and the standard hook and loop bottom edge fastening of other ranges.
- Hollow Fibre Filled, Machine Washable - hollow fibre filling provides soft, consistent cushioning across the rail contact surface; FR polyester outer meets the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 fire safety requirements; fully machine washable for thorough HTM 01-04-compliant laundering decontamination, making this range appropriate for infection-control environments requiring launderable bed safety equipment.
- 134cm Closed Ends, Light Blue - closed-end construction provides lateral protection at the bumper end positions for more active patients; 134cm body length for shorter rail configurations or partial-length coverage; light blue colour supports easy identification as bed safety equipment; available in 183cm closed ends (NCL-CSL) and 200cm open ends (NCL-CS200OE) within the tuck bumper range.
- CQC Regulation 12 Sub-Rail Protection - the tuck mechanism addresses the MHRA-identified sub-rail entrapment zone through a mattress-anchored fabric barrier; a documented bed rail risk assessment confirming the sub-rail entrapment risk and the clinical indication is required before fitting; Mental Capacity Act 2005 best interest obligations apply where applicable.
Quilted Cotside Bumper with Tucks - 134cm - Closed Ends - Machine Washable
The Quilted Cotside Bumper with Tucks (134cm, Closed Ends) uses extra-long fabric tucks secured beneath the mattress to prevent limbs from entering the sub-rail entrapment zone, alongside a closed-end padded bumper body. Hollow fibre filled; FR polyester outer; machine washable. Light blue. Extended-length closed-end version is NCL-CSL (183cm); open-end full-length version is NCL-CS200OE (200cm).

Regulatory Compliance
MHRA guidance on bed rail safety identifies the sub-rail zone as a serious entrapment risk; the mattress-anchored tucks address this zone through a different mechanism to the CCB base sheet but with the same preventive intent. 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 sub-rail entrapment risk, the tuck bumper specification rationale, and the laundering schedule. Mental Capacity Act 2005 best interest obligations apply where applicable.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do the fabric tucks prevent sub-rail entrapment differently from a base sheet?
The CCB connected bumpers (NCL-CCB range) use a full-width highly permeable base sheet that passes completely beneath the mattress, creating a continuous horizontal barrier. The tuck bumpers extend extra-long fabric sections from the bumper body beneath the mattress edges; these tucks are anchored by the mattress weight along the mattress perimeter rather than spanning the full mattress width. The tuck mechanism is primarily effective at the rail-to-mattress edge gap along the sides, anchored by the mattress mass. Both approaches use the mattress weight to secure the barrier; the tuck approach is simpler to fit and remove for laundering while addressing the key side-rail entrapment zone.
How does the machine-washable specification apply to the tuck sections?
The entire bumper including the tuck extensions is machine washable as a single unit; the tucks are integral to the bumper construction and are laundered with the bumper body. After laundering, the tuck sections should be smoothed flat before the bumper is repositioned beneath the mattress to ensure the tucks sit correctly in the under-mattress position and the mattress can be seated flat on top. Inspect the tuck sections for any stitching wear or material damage after each laundry cycle, as tuck integrity is essential for the sub-rail entrapment prevention function.
