Patient Aid Padded U-Sling with Head Support - Soft Polyester Fabric - Comfy and Safe Lifting for the Elderly, Bariatric, and Non-Weight-Bearing - Medium, 225lb. Maximum Carrying Capacity

My mother weighs under 80 pounds and I was not sure if this would work, but I purchased a small and it works great. I like the plastic insert in the back that snaps on and off, and I have washed it several times but I air dry it and it holds up fine and still looks like new. Overall I am very pleased.

When taking care of a loved one, the entire journey is a learning experience. I knew nothing about lifts and slings when it all started, but from my experience, the U-Sling is the way to go. There are so many slings out there in all sorts of configurations but for us, this variation was the best. It was so easy to get on and off. My husband could remain sitting the whole time the sling was being put on and taken off. All he had to do was lean forward to get this down the back as far as possible and then just have his legs lifted to get the leg straps under his legs. As long as I got it FAR down in the back and FAR up under the legs he said it was quite comfortable and well supported. Once he got where he was going, it was very easy to remove for him to sit comfortably. Removal of the sling was quite important so there were less chances for bumps and creases that might cause bed soars. Many of the slings, you can't get off in a seated position, so the U-sling was perfect.

The sling is everything it says it should be. If you need this item, you know that nothing is easy pertaining to a lift. However, this should not be your only sling. It is great for lifting onto a commode or other such seat but it takes two people or a lot of maneuvering to use unless your person can sit up by themselves. This has nothing to do with the item, only info if you are wondering if it is worth purchasing as an additional sling. It is soft and should be easy to launder though.

Easy to use, quality material, easy to eipe clean. This sling fits our hydraulic bed lift perfect. We have the size small for our son and use it to get him into his wheelchair from bed and back out. Being this style sling makes it easiest to remove so he does not have to keep it under him in his chair. We have used this one daily for almost s full year and it is in perfect shape.

Agree with another review - too stiff and hard to position under wife alone and with son's help. Was used for first time when wife fell during nursimg visit on February 17. Nurse succeeded with my help in positioning sling correctly. Provided very good back and body support. I was unable to position it when wife fell in garage on February 23rd. Had to call 911. Son and I couldn't get sling under her correctly on February 27th due to stiffness when wife fell again. Had to use our full body sling. I thought U sling would be easier for us to use. For us at least this wasn't the case. Sling is very sturdy and high quality. Just didn't work for us.

Very good quality. Fits my 13 year old daughter well .

This was delviered a few weeks ago. I use it for my Dad who is mostly bedridden. His last mattress was very similiar to this one. I had that one for like 5 years and it worked great, but noticed that the middle of the mattress was going flat so i ordered this one. Like i said this new one is very, very similiar to the old one. Its only been a few weeks of using the new one....but so far so good. Very east to put together...and the pump is very good too.

My mom fell thru I criss crossed it and still she slipped from the back thankfully she was over the toilet when she slipped thru

Well constructed and works well with two point lift.

Great quality product. For a very reasonable price. The only negative aspect was that they didn't have all the sizes. I bought an XL and that was a a bit too big. A large would of been better. But , I'm still very satisfied with the purchase.

A real help in moving a senior with an injury off of and onto bed.

This sling is very well made and the price is amazingly affordable compared to what mobility aid companies charge (one quoted $800!). Unfortunately, I had to return it because I found the portion that goes around the legs to be a bit too stiff and therefore slightly uncomfortable.
