Is it strong enough to use to move a person in bed without ripping? Certain underpads can be used to shift people in a bed

I would say no. They are not as strong as some of the other pads I have used.
377320
no it isn't . the only ones that i know that are that strong are the ones they use in the hospitals and i haven found those.

These pads have a thin plastic lining and I wouldn't attempt to lift a person with them. I use them for my pet who has a hormone problem and is prone to bedwetting. They have been ideal for my needs.

None of the disposable pads ones I've seen are, So far as I know you'd need a washable type under pad. The disposables are sort of gauze, a layer of absorbent stuff and plastic wrap while the washables are very thin cloth, felt, and a rubberized cloth backing.

Two devices can be used in conjunction with each other, ie; 1 set under the shoulders and 1 set under the hips. This technique allows caregivers to easily rotate a bedridden individual to prevent/treat pressure sores or for access to other parts of the body to perform other procedures or for hygiene. The same 2 device arrangement can be used to help boost a bedridden individual up in bed (towards the headboard) in cases where the individual has slid down too close to the footboard.

A friend of mine had one of these. I tried it and found it to be an awesome experience. But it was sitting on the floor. The device seems a bit heavy to put on a bed. However I suppose that if someone is physically impaired a caregiver might be able to help them get it in place.

It can be used on any bed or surface. I would recommend placing it under the sheet to prevent the intended person from moving it.

I used it in the back of our extended cab truck when seats were folded up. It worked ok but there was nothing to attach the other side to, so it could shift like a blanket. My dogs also crawl over it. However it is very stout fabric and easy on off clips so I really like mine. It works best in the back seat.

Depends on the size of your bed posts. They do a very good job of reducing small vibrations but the pads are not very big around. If you have large posts on the bed you will have difficulty getting it to stay up.

The device works very well for places you can get to easily like sofas and heavy curtains. Relative to what you are cleaning, it must be held pretty much at the angle shown in the picture. If you can get to the areas needed allowing for the hose handle that must be attached to it, it should work. If you don't have much clearance, it won't. The regular hard floor attachment that comes with most Miele's is very good at getting flat against the floor. That would be my first choice for under the bed.

I believe so. We picked this bed rail because of the large 'bunky board' styling and the fact that the rails didn't go to the floor. The body weight anchors the handrail when in use. Ours is used under a top mattress only, not under a box spring, and it is fine with a 200 pound patient. It was super easy to put in place, too.

When the mattress the pad is being used upon is a firm, innerspring mattress, this item will likely still work fine for someone under 120 pounds. However, if the mattress is not firm, or has anything "non-standard" about it, such as it is a TempurPedic, memory foam, or air mattress, or if there is some type of padding that has been added to the bed, this 10" x 30" sensor pad may not properly register the body at all times. This can cause false alarms, or majorly delayed alerts. You may want to consider a system with a 20" x 30" sensor pad instead, which is more effective under those scenarios, and can be purchased here: Cordless Bed Alarm System - No Alarm in Patient Room!

Yes, the pad will shift and you'll end up with the edge of it one or two inches in from the edge of the bed. Go for a pad that's not so stretchy or you'll have to sew it tigher on the corners

I'm 6' and use this on my bed so it's comfortable. But it's not the safest way to use this. You got to be careful not to fall off the bed.

I would advise against heavy movement with these isolators. They are best suited for low movement and high enjoyment ( ravel, at the desk...ECT)

Yes, As long as you get the pads under all feet, and you move it slowly, or have some one to help it should move with no problem.

If you are talking about one of those fold out mattresses in a sofa then maybe. They are very flexible since they are connected by a fabric material. But they are also heavy and might move around. If you are a handy person or one someone who is maybe you could work something out. If you can work it out then the support will be great. Good luck!!

I did not personally use the strap. My husband and his friend used it when moving large items like the washer/dryer and dresser up the stairs. They said that it definitely helped to take the load off of things, but it does not make things weightless! one of the main problems, was that the strap is not that wide and you would probably have difficulty keeping a hottub balanced. Would probably work w/ 2 w/ 4 people.

We use them as bed pads for a disabled elderly family member... absorbent and they do not shred easily.

I used this setup to move all my appliances so with 2 decently strong adults you should be able to easily move that package. Instead of using your arms to lift you use them to steady the item you are moving. The strap is 6" or so wide so it is not hard to balance as long as what you are lifting is pretty balanced.
