Frequently Asked Questions
What are living aids that improve someone’s comfort?
People with certain disabilities or chronic illness may benefit from using special equipment to improve their day-to-day comfort.
Some mobility aids may also make a big impact in this respect.
What kinds of comfort aids are available?
Pressure relieving cushions - if someone’s disability or chronic condition means they spend long periods in bed or sitting down, they may be at risk from pressure sores.
Cushions designed to alleviate this possibility come in many forms.
They range from foam based models with varying degrees of firmness, dependent on the user’s needs, to more expensive air and gel-based cushions.
Some foam pressure cushions have cut-out sections which reduce pressure completely from localised areas of the body.
This may include the bases of the spine, for example, which may become sensitive for people sitting for prolonged periods.
Other cushions have gel-filled sections, designed to spread pressure and maximise comfort.
Pressure relief pillows - offer comfort to the head and neck.
Memory foam pillows are popular options, reshaping to the user’s contours.
Also included here are V-shaped pillows to help support you while you’re in bed.
Others are designed to support the head when the user is in a sitting position.
Foot comfort - soft pads, warmers and slippers to make your feet as comfortable as possible.
Includes fleece padded ‘open’ slippers which deliver comfort and abundant ventilation.
Wide fitting slippers - for people with swollen feet, these aids to foot comfort may make a huge difference.
With wider than standard size and large apertures, these slippers are very easy to put on and take off.
Leg rests - these raise the feet off the ground, creating a posture of relaxation.
Riser chairs and riser cushions - rising seats have cushions which push the user upwards from a sitting position.
Getting from sitting down to standing up can be a challenge for many people with restricted mobility.
These cushions are sometimes built into the armchair, while others are available as separate, portable cushions.
Also included here are chair and bed raisers.
These extend the height of furniture legs, reducing the distance of travel the user needs to make from a standing position to a sitting one.
Heated cushions and wheat bags - some people find heated cushions of great comfort and sometimes of therapeutic effect.
Wheat bags are heated in microwave ovens and provide soothing warmth to localised areas of the body.
Do mattress toppers improve comfort?
Mattress toppers provide an extra layer of padding between the bed-sheet and mattress.
Most are made from varying firmesses of foam, sometimes with a nodular or gridded pattern on the top surface.
This is meant to increase air flow and create additional support for the body.
For those bed bound for prolonged periods, fleece mattress toppers are also available, creating extra softness and warmth.
Memory foam mattress toppers reshape themselves to the contours of the user’s body, creating a feeling some people find extra supportive and comfortable.
