The Wonder Sheet is a fitted sheet with a satin panel in the centre to help people turn and move more easily in bed. The smooth section sits under the hips and trunk to reduce friction, while the fabric at the head and foot helps keep the person stable and stops them sliding up or down the bed. (Statewide Home Health Care)
It may be helpful for people who find turning in bed difficult or painful, including those living with Parkinson’s disease, arthritis, neurological conditions, chronic pain or general weakness, and for carers who want to reduce heavy lifting and strain during bed mobility. The Wonder Sheet is used in homes, residential aged care, hospitals and disability support settings as part of a broader manual handling and pressure care plan led by an allied health professional.
