Glide & Slide Sheets

Our Glide and Slide Sheets category contains a wide range of sizes and styles of slide sheet, from the advanced Wendylett System, to a simple bed slide sheet. These simple and easy to use sliding sheets make it far easier for carers to move and position a patient in a bed. A bed slide sheet can be used to move them up or down the bed, from one side to the other, or even in helping to turn them over. Most of our glide sheets are machine washable, but we do have patient specific disposable options available.

Frequently Asked Questions

Click to expand

What is a slide sheet?

A slide sheet is a simple but very effective piece of moving and handling equipment used to help carers move or reposition someone in bed more easily and safely.

What is it made of?

It’s usually made from a smooth, low-friction fabric (often nylon or polyester), which allows it to glide easily against itself. This reduces the amount of physical effort needed to move someone and helps prevent friction and skin damage for the person being moved.

What is a slide sheet used for?

Slide sheets are commonly used to:

Move someone up or down the bed.
Turn someone onto their side (e.g., for personal care or pressure relief).
Reposition someone who has slipped down in a chair.
Transfer someone from one surface to another (in some cases).

Why are slide sheets important?

They reduce the risk of injury for both the carer and the person being moved.
They protect fragile skin from friction and shear forces.
They make repositioning smoother and more comfortable for the person.

Are there different types of slide sheets?

Yes! The most common types are:

Flat slide sheet - A single sheet that folds to create the sliding action.
Tube slide sheet - A continuous loop of fabric that slides against itself.
Disposable slide sheet - Single-use sheets for infection control (used in hospitals and care homes).

Who uses slide sheets?

Carers (in care homes, hospitals, and at home).
Occupational therapists and physiotherapists may recommend them as part of a care plan.
Family carers looking after a loved one at home.

In short:

A slide sheet makes moving someone easier, safer, and more comfortable, especially if they have limited mobility and cannot move themselves.

How do you use a slide sheet?

Here’s a clear step-by-step guide on how to use a slide sheet safely and effectively. This method helps protect both the person being moved and the carers, while reducing the risk of injury or discomfort.

Step-by-step guide: How to use a slide sheet

1. Prepare the person and the environment

Explain to the person what you are about to do — communication helps reduce anxiety and keeps them involved.
Check that the bed is at the right working height (waist height for the carers).
Remove pillows if necessary to create space for movement.
If the bed has brakes, ensure they are on.

2. Position the slide sheet under the person

Roll the person onto their side using proper manual handling techniques.
Fold the slide sheet in half (lengthways) so it’s easier to place under them.
Slide the folded sheet into position — typically from shoulders to thighs (or head to feet if a full-length move is needed).
Roll the person back onto their back, so they are lying on the slide sheet.

3. Reposition or move the person

If you are moving the person up the bed, stand at either side of the bed (two carers are usually required for safety).
Each carer holds the top layer of the slide sheet.
On a count of three, gently slide the person up the bed, using the sheet to reduce friction and make the move easier.

4. Turning the person (if needed)

If the person needs to be turned onto their side (for personal care, pressure relief, etc.), the slide sheet can make this easier too.
Use the slide sheet to gently rotate the person into the desired position, minimising friction and effort.

5. Remove the slide sheet (if necessary)

Once the move is complete, you can remove the slide sheet unless it is designed to stay in place for regular repositioning.
To remove, roll the person to the side and gently slide the sheet out.

Safety tips

Always follow local manual handling policies if you are working in a care home, hospital, or professional setting.
Never drag a person directly on the bed — the slide sheet protects their skin and makes the move smoother.
Use at least two carers for larger or less mobile people.
Use a disposable slide sheet if infection control is required.

Quick recap

A slide sheet makes moving someone safer, easier, and more comfortable, by reducing friction and allowing smooth repositioning. It’s gentler on the person’s skin and helps prevent back strain for carers.
