Skil-Care 30-Degree Positioning Wedge
Skil-Care 30-Degree Foam Bed Positioning Wedge
Contoured 30-Degree Incline, Standard or High-Density Foam Core, Non-Slip Base, and Disinfectable Low-Shear II or Vinyl Covers
Maintaining a steady, comfortable position in bed depends on support that holds its shape and stays where it is placed. The Skil-Care bed positioning wedge is contoured to a consistent 30-degree angle of incline, giving caregivers and users a dependable reference shape for comfortable support and proper positioning. The foam body is offered in standard or high-density constructions, and the surface is available in smooth or convoluted foam profiles, so the wedge can be matched to the firmness and feel that best suits the user and the bedding setup.
Practical construction details make the wedge easy to live with day to day. A non-slip bottom surface keeps it securely planted on the mattress once positioned, resisting the gradual drift that can undo careful placement. The covers can be disinfected as part of regular cleaning routines in both home and institutional care settings. With three lengths — 16, 24, and 34 inches, each 12 inches deep and 7 inches high — and a choice of Low-Shear II fabric or wipeable vinyl covers, the series adapts to different bed sizes, positioning needs, and care environments.
Key Performance Features & Benefits
- 30-Degree Contoured Incline: A consistent 30-degree angle provides a dependable shape for comfortable support and proper positioning in bed.
- Smooth or Convoluted Foam Surface: Two surface profiles let you choose the feel that works best against the body or bedding.
- Standard or High-Density Foam Core: High-density versions in the 24-inch and 34-inch lengths deliver a firmer, more supportive foam feel for users who prefer it.
- Non-Slip Bottom Surface: The gripping base resists sliding on the mattress, keeping the wedge securely in position once placed.
- Disinfectable Covers: Both cover types can be disinfected, supporting routine cleaning practices in home and care environments.
- Three Lengths, Two Cover Options: Available in 16", 24", and 34" lengths with Low-Shear II fabric or wipeable vinyl covers to suit different beds and settings.
- Six-Month Manufacturer Warranty: Each wedge is backed by a 6-month warranty from Skil-Care.
Positioning Specialist Insight: When choosing a length, consider how much of the body the wedge needs to span — the 16-inch size suits compact placements, while the 24-inch and 34-inch lengths extend support across a broader area along the torso. If a firmer feel is preferred, look to the high-density foam versions (SKUs 554030 and 554028). Cover choice matters for upkeep: vinyl covers offer a smooth, wipeable surface, while Low-Shear II covers provide a low-friction fabric feel. Whichever variant you select, place the non-slip bottom flat against the mattress and follow the cover care guidance when disinfecting.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which length should I choose?
A: The wedge is offered in 16-inch, 24-inch, and 34-inch lengths, all 12 inches deep and 7 inches high. The right choice depends on the area the wedge needs to span — shorter lengths suit compact placements, while the longer versions extend support across a wider section of the bed.
Q: What is the difference between the Low-Shear II and vinyl covers?
A: Low-Shear II (LSII) is a low-friction fabric cover, while the vinyl cover offers a smooth, wipeable surface. Both cover types can be disinfected as part of a regular cleaning routine, so the choice comes down to the preferred surface feel and cleaning approach.
Q: How does high-density foam differ from the standard foam version?
A: The high-density versions (SKU 554030 in 24-inch and SKU 554028 in 34-inch) use a denser foam core, which provides a firmer feel than the standard foam versions of the same dimensions. All versions maintain the same 30-degree contoured incline.
