Our Mala bed-fixer system is the practical solution to an often occuring problem:
How can I fix a person to the bed if it doesn't have any struts or similar practical elements and also doesn't offer the possibilities of permanent eyes (i.e. on holiday, in the hotel bed or simply for matters of disgression)?
The answer: A Mala bed-fixer strap 'top' and a Mala bed-fixer strap 'bottom' (if needed with additional extensions) combine into a continuous strap, which wraps around the mattress and has two fixing points on the upper side.
And now for the details:
First, please, determine how far the fixing points shall be seperated from each other. On the one hand this should not be wider than the width of the mattress, so that the points will remain on the top side of the bed. On the other, they should not be too close together, so that they can support a wide variety of fixings to the bed.
You can choose between these lengths of the bed-fixer strap 'top' (the length of the strap is equal to the distance between the fixing points):
60 centimetres
80 centimetres
100 centimetres
120 centimetres
(please choose the length)
Now please measure the circumference of your mattress, so you can determine the full length for the combination of straps. Preferably you go around once completely.
If this isn't possible, since you cannot reach it, please use this guideline:
Double the width of the mattress (for the bottom and the top side of it). To this value you add about 30 centimeters for the sides of the mattress.
Usually mattresses are not thicker than 15 centimetres; doubling this (for the right and the left side) you get 30 centimeters.
Calculation example:
Width of the mattress: 100 centimetres x2 results in 200 centimetres, adding 30 centimetres for the sides results in a circumference of 230 centimetres.
If you'd like your fixing point to be 80 centimetres apart, you need a 'top' with 80 centimetres. You substract these 80 centimetres from the full measurement of 230 centimetres resulting in 150 centimetres. This means for the underside a 'bottom' of at least 150 centimetres is needed.
At this point you should change over to the Mala bed-fixer strap 'bottom' (Prod. No. MBL152) to see the available lengths.
You will notice that this exact length is not available. Therefore please chose a 'bottom' with a length of 160 centimetres. This way you can use both straps with your mattresss, as the 'bottom' has plenty of slits to adjust the length.
