Symmetrikit Symmetrisleep

Long term therapy every night of the year

Symmetrisleep is one of the World’s most popular in-bed sleep systems; it provides dynamic support throughout the night, when the body is most relaxed and susceptible to change.

It is a proven system widely used to protect and improve body shape as well as function. For many it provides relaxation, a better nights sleep and easier care.

Symmetrisleep Works

 The Symmetrisleep offers adjustable, comfortable support for those who cannot move easily; requiring fewer position changes overnight – meaning more sleep for everyone. 

The air mantle disappaites heat and moisture  increasing comfort  during the night for easier nights and better mornings.

A combination of postural supports

The symmetrisleep uses a combination of postural supports, a pressure relieving Airmantle and comfy overlay sheet to provide just the right amount of support and postural protection. The Postural supports stay in place making it an easy system to use. It can be used on a variety of beds including air mattresses.

What does Symmetrisleep do?

Symmetrisleep enables people with movement disorders to sleep more symmetrically. Therapists are finding that it can prevent distortion of body shape or even correct established problems when used as part of a 24 hour Postural Care Programme.

The system allows a gentle progressive approach to complex postures. Elements can be introduced gradually during the day and night as tolerance builds. Symmetrisleep is the first and only system that has been designed to provide the bio-mechanical rotational forces to improve chest shape.

Any mattress, any position, even sitting up!

With the Velcro sheet, pressure relieving Airmantle and stretchy sheet in place, the system is ready and the bed has a flat surface for easy transfer.

When the user is ready, the brackets and pillows that provide support are fitted. The system is quickly built up to support the client rather than having to fit the client to an existing form: carers find that it only takes a moment to get this right and fine adjustments can be made instantly.

Symmetrisleep® and active temperature management

Coolover® covers offer active temperature management, pressure re-distribution and a gentle massaging action when you move.

This cover option uses our Omnitherm® technology and a clever variable Denier weave with extra Bamboo to actively manage temperature and lower skin humidity through enhanced wicking. When skin temperature rises our Omnitherm® microcapsules start to absorb excess body heat and as your body cools, it returns this energy to help to maintain a more even temperature.

Symmetrisleep® Airmantle® moulds to support the body for maximum protection and a good night’s sleep.It offers a temperature regulating alternative to hollow fibre wadding or foams which can have exactly the opposite effect.

During the night, we regularly rearrange our bedclothes to help maintain a constant body temperature. Airmantle helps those who cannot make these adjustments for themselves; it puts a layer of air around the user allowing perspiration to evaporate so helping to maintain temperature and  improve microclimate.
