The 2 Way
Base Sheet
All SIBA Satin base sheets allow safe and easy repositioning for people in bed, enabling them to turn easily from side to side but not slip down. Extra safety is provided by the striped cotton edges on all of our base sheets. They can be used on their own or combined with one of our renowned SIBA Satin top sheets for those who need more in bed repositioning care.
<pclass=”color-dark”> Although some are designed to be tucked in, as you would a normal sheet, most are secured to the mattress base through elastic straps or drawstrings helping them to fit the mattresses easily and stay in place without moving, meaning safety for users at all times.
Available in five widths, each of our base sheets have a satin panel central (or
for wider matteresses, offset) to the mattress. These are either full length or midi
mattress length, dependant upon your patient’s needs. The striped polycotton
panels on each side of the satin panels are designed to prevent patients sliding
off the bed whilst only the satin panel allows for movement.
