back or bed head is raised, and reduces pressure on the buttocks in a reclined position. It measures 19¾″L × 9¾″W × 3¾″H and is finished in a wipeable, incontinence-resistant navy cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRaising the back of a bed or recliner creates a predictable problem: gravity pulls the body down the slope. The person slides forward over minutes or hours, ends up slumped with the shoulders where the hips should be, and takes all the resulting shear force through the skin of the buttocks and sacrum. Repositioning them is a two-person job that has to be repeated all day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wedge sits under the thighs and acts as a physical stop. By raising the front of the seating surface it gives the pelvis something to rest against, so the body stays where it was positioned. That also removes the shear loading on the buttocks, which is the mechanism behind much of the skin damage associated with slumping in a reclined chair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"features-grid\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"feature-card\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStops Forward Sliding\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003eSits under the thighs and raises the front of the seat, giving the pelvis a physical stop so the body holds its position instead of creeping down the slope.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"feature-card\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReduces Pressure on the Buttocks\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003eBy preventing the slide it removes the shear force that builds under the buttocks and sacrum when someone slumps in a reclined position.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"feature-card\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWipeable Incontinence Cover\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003eA navy incontinent-grade cover that wipes clean, chosen for care settings rather than domestic use.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"feature-card\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompact 19¾″ × 9¾″ Footprint\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003eSized to sit under the thighs without occupying the whole seat, so it works alongside an existing seat or pressure cushion.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"feature-card\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReduces Repositioning Workload\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003eWhere a carer would otherwise reposition someone repeatedly through the day, the wedge holds the position mechanically.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"feature-card\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLifetime Limited Warranty\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003eBacked by MOBB Home Health Care’s lifetime limited warranty against manufacturing defects.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere This Wedge Fits in a Seating Setup\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a positioning accessory rather than a pressure-relief cushion, and the distinction matters. It is designed to sit under the thighs and control posture; it does not replace a pressure-redistribution cushion under the sitting bones. In a full setup it works alongside one — a gel or foam cushion for pressure, this wedge for position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf someone is sliding forward in a reclined chair or a profiling bed and developing redness over the sacrum, that is exactly the problem this wedge is built for. If the concern is pressure while sitting upright, a gel or memory foam seat cushion is the correct product instead. Where pressure injury risk is established, an occupational therapist should assess the seating as a whole rather than any single component.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetails\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e193\/4\" L x 93\/4\" W x 33\/4\" H\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e***\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncontinent wipeable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLifetime Limited Warranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMHUPCW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMOBB Home Health Care\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBest For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"best-for-box\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeople who slide forward when a recliner or profiling bed back is raised\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCare and home-nursing settings where repeated manual repositioning is a daily workload\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReducing shear loading on the buttocks and sacrum in a semi-reclined position\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnvironments needing a wipeable, incontinence-resistant cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Choose This Product\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"why-buy-box\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolves a specific mechanical problem — forward sliding — that padding alone cannot fix\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncontinence-grade wipeable cover suited to care settings rather than a domestic fabric that has to be laundered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLifetime limited warranty, stocked in Canada by Factory Direct Medical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eHow do I stop someone sliding down in a recliner or hospital bed?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eSliding happens because a raised back turns the seat into a slope.
