Positioning Pillows & Wedges Australia – Body Positioning Aids for Aged Care & Home
Safety and Mobility supplies a range of positioning pillows, wedges, and body positioning rolls designed to support correct body alignment, redistribute pressure, and improve comfort for clients in bed or seated. Correct positioning is a clinical priority in aged care, hospital, and home care settings, playing a key role in pressure injury prevention, post-surgical recovery, respiratory management, and general comfort for people with limited mobility or complex care needs.
Our positioning pillow range includes leg and knee wedges to support lower limb elevation and hip abduction, cylindrical positioning rolls for lateral support and limb positioning, contoured body pillows for side-lying support, and heel and ankle positioning aids to offload pressure from high-risk bony prominences. Products are available in foam, air cell, and microbead fill options to suit different clinical requirements. Washable, wipeable covers are available for infection control compliance.
As a registered NDIS provider, Safety and Mobility can supply positioning pillows and wedges to eligible NDIS participants and assist plan managers with itemised quotes. We deliver across Australia to homes, aged care facilities, hospitals, and disability support settings.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the difference between a positioning wedge and a positioning roll?
A positioning wedge has an angled, triangular profile used to maintain a specific body angle, commonly used under the knees, beneath the torso for lateral tilt, or under the upper body for head-of-bed elevation. A positioning roll is a cylindrical bolster used to support limbs, fill body contour gaps, or maintain a side-lying position without the person rolling back.
2. Are positioning pillows used for pressure injury prevention?
Yes, correctly positioning a client to offload pressure from bony prominences such as the heels, sacrum, trochanters, and malleoli is a core component of pressure injury prevention in immobile clients. Heel positioning boots and wedges are particularly widely used to keep the heel fully offloaded when a client is at risk.
