Bedside mats are essential for reducing the risk of impact-related injuries caused by falling off or slipping near the bed.
Designed for hospitals, nursing homes, and home care, these padded mats provide a soft landing surface that absorbs impact
from falls, helping prevent fractures or head injuries when a patient rolls or falls out of bed.
How Bedside Mats Work
Bedside mats are usually placed on both sides of the bed; medical bedside mats minimize the severity of fall injuries through
impact absorption. When a patient lands on the mat, its internal high-density polyurethane foam or composite layers compress
and absorb the energy of the fall, significantly reducing the force transmitted to the body — especially to vulnerable areas
like the hips, head, and shoulders.
Beyond cushioning, bedside floor mats also improve overall fall risk management with their safety-focused features. These
impact-reduction floor mats often feature a non-skid bottom that keeps the mat securely in place under shifting weight or
equipment, and easy-to-clean surfaces, like vinyl covers, that make disinfection and hygiene maintenance easier.
Bed Mat Uses
Bed mats are used across a variety of care settings to improve patient safety and comfort, including:
- Hospitals and medical facilities — for fall prevention in high-risk patient rooms.
- Assisted living centers and senior housing — to enhance resident safety while maintaining accessibility and making elderly monitoring easier.
- Rehabilitation units — for at-risk patients regaining mobility or recovering from injury.
- Home care environments — offering peace of mind for families and caregivers supporting elderly loved ones or those recovering from surgery.
