If bedding pressing on your feet or legs is making sleep harder, you are in the right place. Our bed cradles (also called a foot cradle for bed or blanket lifter for feet) are part of our broader range of bedroom aids and bed accessories for older Australians. What Does a Bed Cradle Do?

It is non-invasive, easy to use, and works on any standard bed. Bed Cradles for Post-Surgery and Wound Recovery After lower-limb surgery, wound care, or skin grafting, keeping bedding off the healing area is important.

Having one at home means you can continue the same level of protection once you are discharged, supporting a smoother recovery in your own bed. Adjustable Bed Cradles Height-adjustable bed cradles let you set the clearance to the level that suits you. Most models offer multiple height settings, so the frame can be raised higher for maximum airflow or lowe
