Bedside Fall Mats

Secure® Bedside Safety Fall Protection Mats are a highly effective solution for reducing fall risk in hospitals, nursing homes, and home care environments. Placed alongside beds for patients or residents at high risk of falling, these fall prevention mats are made with high-impact, shock-absorbing foam that cushions falls and helps prevent serious injuries. The high-density foam used in our mats offers superior impact absorption to reduce the risk of injury.

Our bedside fall protection mats for the elderly are perfect for use with any type of bed, including low-profile beds commonly found in long-term care facilities. Whether you’re caring for hospital patients, seniors in nursing homes, or individuals recovering from surgery, Secure® bedside safety mats offer peace of mind by significantly lowering the likelihood of injuries from falls or rolling out of bed.

Bedside safety mats are critical patient safety aids. Studies show that as many as 20% of falls in acute hospitals, long-term care (LTC) facilities and rehab centers result from patients falling out of bed. Secure® fall protection mats provide a cushioned landing surface to help prevent head, chest, and pelvic injuries, as verified by independent biomechanical testing.

What is a Bedside Fall Mat?

A bedside fall mat is a safety solution designed to cushion falls and minimize the risk of serious injury. Often referred to as “crash mats for the elderly,” these mats don’t prevent falls but significantly reduce their impact. They are a vital element in many fall prevention strategies, offering peace of mind for caregivers and protection for fall-risk individuals.

Who Benefits from Bedside Fall Mats?

Bedside fall mats are ideal for individuals who need assistance getting in and out of bed. They serve as a protective layer for those who are prone to falls, such as:

• Elderly individuals with limited mobility
• Patients with cognitive impairments, such as Alzheimer’s or dementia
• Toddlers who might climb out of cribs
• Anyone prone to falls due to medical conditions

While these mats are designed primarily for those who shouldn’t leave bed without assistance, they also provide safety for those who might attempt to get up independently.

Key Benefits of Bedside Fall Mats

Incorporating bedside fall mats into a fall prevention plan can significantly enhance safety. Here’s why they’re an excellent investment:

1. Impact Absorption

Fall mats cushion the impact of falls, reducing the likelihood of serious injuries. This is their primary function and a top reason caregivers rely on them for safety.

2. Non-Slip Surface

Most fall mats feature non-slip surfaces, enhancing traction and reducing the risk of slips. This feature ensures safer movement for users who may attempt to stand or move independently.

What to Consider When Choosing a Fall Mat for the Elderly

1. Outer Material

Look for bedside safety mats with durable and easy-to-clean materials, like vinyl, to maintain hygiene effortlessly.

2. Thickness

A thicker mat (at least 2 inches) offers better impact absorption, ensuring optimal protection in the event of a fall, while thinner mats (1 inch or less) offer fall injury protection while being easier to walk on.

3. Size

Choose a mat that’s long enough to cover most of the bedside area—ideally, at least 65 inches long for standard beds.

4. Traction

Ensure the mat stays securely in place with strong anti-skid properties, reducing the risk of shifting during use.

5. Portability Features

Foldable safety mat designs make the mat easier for caregivers to transport and store when needed.

6. Waterproof Design

Opt for waterproof mats to ensure longevity and make cleaning a breeze in case of spills or accidents.

7. Warranty

A warranty adds peace of mind, protecting your investment against unexpected issues. All mats we offer are covered by a one-year warranty against defects and workmanship.
