Support for Rest and Sleep

Sleep positioning uses cushions to support the body in a planned lying position. This may involve supporting someone on their side, keeping their legs aligned or taking direct pressure away from a sensitive area.

The arrangement should reflect the person’s posture, mobility and pressure care needs. A single cushion may provide the support required, or several may work together as a sleep positioning system.

Explore Sleep Positioning Cushions

Side-Lying and Body Support

The Seahorse Cushion supports side-lying and reclining positions, whereas the Fixzy Cushion provides support in front of and behind the torso for people who need help maintaining a supported side position.

The Flexo Cushion can be shaped for several lying positions, with its two-channel construction helping to keep the filling in place during repositioning.

Support With the Upper Body Raised

The U-Cushion with Slope supports the trunk and head in a raised position, known as Semi-Fowler. Its shape also provides support around the hips and pelvis.

It can be combined with additional positioning cushions where the person’s needs require them.

Head and Neck Support

The Head Stabiliser supports the head and neck as part of a planned lying position, with small and large options available.

The Butterfly Neck Cushion provides shaped support for people with reduced head control. Its design supports the neck while leaving the person’s field of vision clear.

Leg and Knee Positioning

The H-Cushion supports leg positioning when lying on the side and has additional uses when lying on the back.

The Calf Slope Cushion provides shaped lower-leg support. The Cylinder Cushion offers further positioning options, including support beneath or between the knees.

Heel and Ear Pressure Relief

The Heel/Arm Wedge Cushion supports the arm or calf and can be positioned to offload the heel. The Wedge Cushion Double offers another shaped option for supporting limbs and distributing pressure.

The Semicircle Ear Cushion has an opening designed to relieve direct pressure on the ear.

Additional Positioning Support

The Book Support Cushion can add stability alongside larger cushions, including back support in side lying.

The Oval Cushion fills smaller gaps between the body and the supporting surface. It can be used for more localised support and smaller positioning adjustments.

Designed for Everyday Care

PostureSnug was founded by Occupational Therapists, with a focus on positioning and pressure care throughout the day and night.

Its next-generation adult cushions contain oval-shaped Posi-beads, allowing the filling to be moulded around the body. Stretchy, breathable fabric and waterproof surfaces support regular use at home and in care settings.

The cushions are designed for wipe cleaning, and jersey covers are available for many products. Follow the care instructions supplied with each item.

Adult and Junior Options

The adult range covers broad body support and more localised positioning needs.

PostureSnug also offers a junior collection, with products shaped and sized for children’s postural needs. Ask us about the relevant junior options and availability. Any existing recommendations from the child’s healthcare team will help explain the support required.

Positioning Support Beyond Bedtime

The wider PostureSnug range also includes products for seated activities and daytime care:

Flex Arms for Wheelchairs

Support the arms close to the body’s midline.

Lap Cushion

Provides forearm support and can assist with seated activities in a bed or chair.

SitSafe

Supports seated positioning on the edge of a bed or treatment couch.

Help Choosing the Right Support

Start with what feels uncomfortable or difficult about the current position. Tell us whether the person can change position independently, where additional support is needed and which products are already being used.

If an Occupational Therapist, physiotherapist or nurse has made recommendations, share these with our team so the product discussion can reflect the person’s care plan.

Your Questions About Sleep Positioning

How Do I Choose the Right Cushion and Size?

Consider the support required alongside the product’s shape and dimensions. The brochure provides measurements, but size alone does not determine suitability. Your healthcare professional can advise on the positioning required; our team can help with product information and available options.

Can the Cushions Be Used Together?

Yes. Several products are designed to complement larger positioning cushions. The right combination depends on the individual’s needs and should follow their positioning plan.

Can These Cushions Be Used During the Day?

Yes. Many products also support daytime lying, rest and seated activities. The range is designed for positioning needs across the day and night.

Do They Replace a Pressure Care Mattress or Repositioning?

No. Positioning cushions should be used alongside any prescribed mattress and repositioning routine. Your healthcare professional can advise how they fit into the person’s wider pressure care plan.
