 T he Orbit 235 is a revolution and huge step forward in rotating beds. There is no other rotating bed like it! The Orbit 235 has been developed in collaboration with Occupational Therapists and end users, building on Theraposture’s understanding and experience gained as the true market-leading supplier of rotating beds for over 20 years. Everything that we have learnt and everything that we have been asked for has resulted in the Orbit 235.

This cot has been developed for children who need safe surroundings at home or whilst travelling, such as those with severe Autism or challenging behaviour. This portable safe environment includes extensive padding with large windows for generous visibility and easy access for uncompromised care. The clever Home and Away design allows fast assembly and dis-assembly using strong zip and Velcro fastenings – hence repositioning is hassle-free. Each constituent section is lightweight so single-handed lifting and carrying is strain free and will fit in most standard cars. If young users required more postural variety then powered functionality can be added to the sleeping surface such as height adjustment and/or profiling. Variable height provides extra safety for carers as the risk of back injury can be eliminated as the need to bend when providing support is greatly reduced. As with all Theraposture products, the new Home and Away cot is a tailor-made, hand crafted solution. Each co
