The Skil-Care Elevated Bed Wedges are designed 24 inches wide to comfortably provide the ideal angle to elevate the patient's feet or head. This versatile bed wedge is useful in a homecare setting or in a facility that uses non-electric hospital beds to adhere to stringent safety standards. The wedge is available in heights of 7.5, 10, 12 and 27 inches to achieve the optimal angle for the feet or head, depending on the patient's needs. When placed at the head of the bed, it offers relief when the patient suffers from acid reflux and indigestion, heartburn, snoring, sleep apnea, and sinus congestion. It also adds comfort when the individual enjoys sitting up in bed while watching TV or reading. When placed at the feet, the lower extremities are elevated to improve circulation to tired and swollen legs or feet.

The Elevating Skil-Care Bed Wedge can be placed directly onto the mattress or inserted between the box spring and the mattress for a seamless transition and effective positioning. When placed directly onto the mattress, you may want the wedge with cover. The fabric is made of Skil-Care's Cozy Cloth, an ultra-soft polyester microfiber that's low shear to protect delicate skin. The cover removes to launder as needed and its outer vinyl material is waterproof to simply wipe down.
