DoAbility offers several products designed to help people with disabilities have comfort and support in bed, such as rope ladders, bed cradles, horizontal bars, floor support, end attachments, and bed rails.

Swereco’s Rope Ladder is used as an aid to rise from the bed, or even from the tub. It is made up of five pins mounted to a nylon rope, and the bottom ends of the cords are tied around the bed legs. The plastic ladder enables the person to pull herself up with a hand over hand movement.

The Bed Cradle, on the other hand, keeps the blanket from getting in contact with tender parts of the body.

Another set of products by Swereco, the Horizontal Bar and Bed Rails are easy to lift off before making the bed. The bar can be changed from right- to left-hand use. These are designed to assist a person in rising or sitting up on the bed. They are also used as protection from rolling out of bed. The Bed Rail may be combined with the Horizontal Bar or another Bed Rail.

The end attachments and floor support are used for the Horizontal Bar and Bed Rails.

Quite often, using the right mobility equipment will allow a person to be less dependent or require less assistance from their caregiver.

Wheelchair cushions increases comfort while it provides exceptional pressure management.

When we sit, only one third of the body’s surface is supporting all of its weight, and blood flow is restricted. In the presence of muscle atrophy, which is experienced most especially by most people with spinal cord injuries, circulation is limited further by the loss of muscle that once served as a sort of natural cushion. An additional risk of sitting is shear force, as we tend to slide forward in the cushion, causing stress across the surface of the skin. These situations could result to pressure sores, which can be very serious, leading to hospitalization, surgery, and in rare occasions, death. The right cushion is a primary tool for maintaining the health of your skin.


Wheelchair cushions can often significantly improve a wheelchair user’s posture, as well as give support and pressure relief to prevent further medical problems such as pressure sores.

Materials used for wheelchair cushions have come a long way. You now have several choices based on your individual needs. Cushions protect skin from damage that can lead to pressure ulcers, and they affect many functional activities such as reaching, transfers, and wheelchair propulsion.

Many researchers and clinicians who have studied cushions have developed a common conclusion: No one cushion is best for all people. Because so many cushions are available commercially, wheelchair users should be able to find one that adequately meets their needs.

The Cushion Ellips by Swereco is a seat cushion moulded in cold and stiff foam that has unsurpassed comfort and support. The cold foam core gives stability and the stiff foam has a pressure-distributing effect. The leg divider and the slightly marked seat hollow give a stable seat surface for the best possible pressure distribution. The leg divider is equipped with air channels on the upper side to facilitate air circulation. It improves seating safety by preventing slipping. It also helps maintain an upright sitting position.

Cushion Ellips comes in various sizes and are available at DoAbility UK.
