Sleepform Anleitung

Always remember more air

Always remember more air can be let back into the bag at any time to make it more flexible and easier to mould. To do this close the valve, remove the pump and momentarily opening the valve again allowing air back into the mattress. Experiment with this so you are confident in moulding the mattress. Once all the air is removed, the mattress will be rigid and the beads will become more visible on the outer surface. We recommend you check the Sleepform mattress daily and remove air occasionally if you find it is getting soft. Positioning the Sleepform Mattress on the bed Set the Sleepform Mattress in the area where you will need the support. The Mattress is designed in a “U” shape so that one end has beads in it to aid with positioning. This is the end the valve is attached to. Place the bag in the middle of the bed with the channel in the middle. Where you want to provide a pommel for leg abduction you can keep the air valve towards the middle of the bed. Alternatively, if you wish to focus on head positioning, you can position the bag with the valve to the top of the bed.

Air-flow Mattress The Air flow Mattress is always used when you use the Sleepform Mattress. This is because the Sleepform Mattress is air tight and is a firm support surface and could present a suffocation hazard to the user. The Air-flow Mattress has an open celled structure that provides a comfortable cushion where air can flow freely and prevents heat build up and pressure points. Place the Air flow Mattress on top of the bed covering the Sleepform Mattress. Consider which other supports you wish to try. Knowing your child’s dimensions, place the attaching belts under the bed mattress approximately where you need the supports for Chest, Hip, Leg and Knee support. The receiving clips should be easily reached to attach the supports during the assessment process.
