A bed wedge and a small side wedge may look similar in a photo, but their size, foam and shape suit different positioning tasks. Before choosing, compare the space you want to support and the surface where the wedge will be used.
This guide compares the Max Mobility PU Foam Bed Wedge with the Max Mobility Side Wedge Memory Foam Cushion. It also explains how to identify the matching replacement cover for the larger bed wedge.
Start with the size and foam
- Bed wedge: a large, firm wedge made from high-density PU foam. Quintro lists it as 600 mm wide, 600 mm deep and 250 mm high, with a removable white fabric cover. Product code: 26001.
- Side wedge: a smaller memory-foam cushion, listed at 340 mm wide, 240 mm deep and 70 mm high at its widest point. It has a removable black velour cover.
The side wedge is much smaller than the bed wedge. Choosing the softer material alone will not tell you whether the cushion provides the shape or area you want.
When to compare the larger bed wedge
The Max Mobility Bed Wedge is designed for elevation under the head, feet or legs. Its broad footprint is an important part of the comparison: measure the usable space on the bed and consider how it will sit alongside your other bedding.
Check whether a firm, fixed foam shape matches what you want. The product is a wedge, rather than an adjustable bed or a stack of loose pillows. Do not assume that a particular angle or height will suit every person.
When to compare the smaller side wedge
The Side Wedge Memory Foam Cushion offers a compact shape for local positioning. Compare its 340 x 240 mm footprint with the exact area where you intend to place it.
Memory foam and high-density PU foam have different feels. This smaller side wedge is not a substitute for the larger wedge simply because both products have an angled profile. If positioning has been recommended for a health condition or after a procedure, confirm the required setup with the professional advising you.
Buying a replacement bed-wedge cover
A removable cover can make care more convenient, but the replacement must match the wedge model. Our replacement cover for Max Mobility Bed Wedge 26001 is sold separately from the wedge.
Check the model code before adding a cover. A cover listed for the large 26001 wedge should not be assumed to fit the smaller memory-foam side wedge or a different cushion. A spare cover can be useful when one is being cleaned; follow the supplied care instructions for washing and drying.
Four checks before ordering
- Measure the intended space. Compare width, depth and height with the usable area, rather than relying on a product photograph.
- Choose the shape and feel. Compare a large firm PU-foam wedge with a small memory-foam positioning cushion.
- Check what is included. Distinguish the complete wedge from a separately sold replacement cover.
- Review current product details. Open the product page for options and availability, and contact us if a dimension or care instruction needs clarification.
Common questions
Are a bed wedge and a seat wedge the same?
No. A bed wedge is intended for positioning on a bed. A seat wedge is a different product intended for a suitable chair. Choose by the product's stated purpose and dimensions.
Does a replacement cover include the foam wedge?
No. The replacement-cover listing is for the cover only. Use the full bed-wedge listing if you need the foam support itself.
Will the smaller side wedge do the same job?
Not necessarily. The side wedge has a smaller footprint and a different foam construction. Compare the area and shape needed, rather than treating the two products as interchangeable.
