Bed stop
A lady with a history of heart problems prefers to sleep in a sitting position in bed. When asleep she tends to slip down the bed.
A custom-made measured bed stop was made which fits snugly around the mattress and bedclothes and is positioned against the feet when the lady is in a sitting position.
The bed stop is firm enough to prevent the lady slipping down the bed and therefore enables her to minimise pressure on lungs and heart during the night.
