Dycem Non-Slip Netting

Dycem Non-Slip Netting – Anti-Slip Mesh for Chairs, Cushions and Rugs

The Dycem Non-Slip Netting is a versatile, lightweight and flexible anti-slip mesh designed to help prevent unwanted movement between two surfaces. Manufactured by Dycem, a specialist in non-slip materials, this practical netting provides additional grip when placed between cushions, chairs, rugs, mattresses and other household furnishings.

Measuring 200cm long x 60cm wide, the netting can be easily cut to size, allowing users to create customised non-slip sections for a wide variety of applications. Its soft, open mesh construction provides effective grip while allowing air to circulate, making it particularly useful for seating applications where comfort and stability are important. Dycem Non-Slip Netting is commonly used in homes, care facilities, physiotherapy departments and rehabilitation environments to help reduce unwanted sliding and movement.

For individuals with reduced mobility, limited lower-body strength or difficulty maintaining a stable seated position, the netting may provide additional friction between suitable surfaces. It can also be placed underneath cushions, rugs and other furnishings to help keep them in position without permanent adhesives or fixings.

Dycem Non-Slip Netting is a positioning and anti-slip aid. It is not a replacement for appropriate seating assessments, pressure care equipment, postural supports or fall prevention measures.

Helps Reduce Sliding on Chairs

One of the most useful applications of Dycem Non-Slip Netting is helping reduce unwanted movement on chairs and seating surfaces. Individuals with reduced lower-body strength, limited trunk control or difficulty maintaining a seated position may experience forward sliding while sitting. When appropriately positioned between suitable surfaces, the non-slip mesh provides additional friction that may help reduce this movement.

Potential applications include:

• Armchairs
• Lounge chairs
• Suitable wheelchair seating
• Rehabilitation seating
• Therapy chairs
• Specialist seating systems
• Care home furniture

For wheelchair or specialist seating use, the netting should only be introduced following appropriate consideration of positioning, pressure distribution, transfers and skin integrity.

Helps Keep Cushions in Place

Cushions can move or slide during everyday use, particularly on smooth furniture surfaces. Dycem Non-Slip Netting can be placed between a cushion and the chair beneath it to help reduce unwanted movement. This makes it useful for:

• Seat cushions
• Armchair cushions
• Sofa cushions
• Suitable wheelchair cushions
• Furniture padding
• Other removable cushions

The flexible material can be cut to match the required area, helping create a practical and discreet anti-slip layer.

Non-Slip Support for Rugs and Furnishings

Dycem Non-Slip Netting can also be placed underneath suitable rugs and household furnishings. The mesh creates additional grip between the rug and the underlying surface, helping reduce unwanted sliding.

• Small rugs
• Mats
• Furniture cushions
• Suitable mattress toppers
• Loose household furnishings

For floor applications, ensure the netting lies flat, does not create a trip hazard and is suitable for the flooring material. The netting should not be relied upon as the sole measure to prevent falls.

Soft Open Mesh Construction

The Dycem Non-Slip Netting features a soft, flexible mesh structure. Unlike solid anti-slip sheets, the open net design allows air to circulate through the material. This makes it particularly suitable for applications where breathability and comfort are important.

• Flexible mesh construction
• Air circulation through the material
• Comfortable for appropriate seating applications
• Easy to position between surfaces
• Suitable for cutting to different shapes
• Additional grip without permanent fixing

The mesh construction makes it a practical option for a range of domestic and professional environments.

Easily Cut to Size

The netting is supplied as a generous 200 x 60cm sheet. It can be cut to the required length and width to suit individual applications. This allows users to create smaller anti-slip sections for different items around the home or care environment.

For example, one sheet may be cut to provide sections for:

• An armchair cushion
• A small rug
• A furniture seat pad
• A suitable mattress topper
• Other household items requiring additional grip

Cut the netting carefully to the required dimensions and ensure it remains flat and correctly positioned during use.

Suitable for Home and Professional Care

Dycem Non-Slip Netting is suitable for a wide range of environments.

• Home Use: It can help keep cushions and rugs in position and provide additional grip between household furnishings.
• Care Homes: The netting may be useful in seating applications where individuals experience unwanted sliding, subject to appropriate assessment.
• Physiotherapy Departments: Physiotherapists may use non-slip materials as part of suitable seating and positioning arrangements.
• Rehabilitation Facilities: The netting can provide additional friction between selected surfaces during appropriate rehabilitation activities.

Simple to Position and Use

Dycem Non-Slip Netting is designed to be straightforward to use.

1. Identify the surfaces where additional grip is required.
2. Measure the area to be covered.
3. Cut the netting to the required size if necessary.
4. Position the mesh flat between the two suitable surfaces.
5. Check that the item is stable and the netting does not bunch or fold.
6. Inspect the material regularly and reposition or replace it if necessary.

For seating applications, seek professional advice where there are concerns about posture, skin integrity, pressure injury risk or the ability to transfer safely.
