Sitting upright in bed should feel supported—not like a struggle. The VISSCO Orthopaedic Hospital Back Rest is designed to provide reliable back support for hospitalised and bedridden patients who need to sit comfortably for extended periods.

With its strong powder-coated metal frame, padded head cushion, supportive fabric back and adjustable positioning, this hospital back rest makes everyday activities such as eating, drinking, reading or watching television more comfortable while helping the user maintain a more supported sitting posture.

Why Choose VISSCO Orthopaedic Hospital Back Rest?

Designed for Better Bedside Comfort

For patients who spend long periods in bed, getting into and maintaining an upright sitting position can be difficult. This back rest provides a stable support surface behind the back, helping users sit up for everyday activities.

Adjustable Sitting Position

The back rest can be positioned at different leaning angles using the provided adjustment spaces. This allows caregivers to select a more suitable sitting angle according to the user's comfort and activity.

Supportive Padded Head Cushion

A padded head cushion adds an additional point of comfort when sitting upright, making the back rest particularly useful during longer periods of supported sitting.

Strong Powder-Coated Metal Frame

The frame is made from metal with a powder-coated finish, providing a durable structure suitable for regular home or healthcare use.

Easy-to-Clean Fabric Back

The back support uses an easy-to-clean fabric and can be wiped with a damp cloth for routine product care.
