Four Way Glide Sheet

This high quality, two-part system for use on a bed has been specifically developed for use where clients need frequent turning and repositioning or where lateral transfer, leaving the client on the top sheet, is required. The nylon under sheet fits over the mattress and the cotton top quilt is placed over the top providing a low friction surface and giving movement in four directions. The top quilt can be 'locked' into position to prevent movement, for example, when sitting the client up in bed. Available with either a cotton cover or wipeable PU cover. The quilt and under sheet are available separately. Both the under sheet and top quilt can be machine washed and dried at 80°C.
