Pillow & Cushion Integrity Audit



Section 1: Pillow Integrity & Hygiene

Are all pillows fitted with a waterproof, wipeable cover?

Unzip the outer case: Is the pillow core free from staining, odors, or dampness?

Are any 'disposable' or fiber-fill pillows without waterproof covers being removed/replaced?

Are pillows providing adequate support (not flat or 'bottoming out')?

Section 2: Pressure Relieving Cushions

Is the cushion cover intact with no tears or worn areas on the base?

Is the 'this side up' orientation correct for the resident's seated position?

For gel/foam hybrid cushions, is the gel distributed evenly without leaks?

Is the cushion specific to the resident (checked against their care plan)?

Section 3: Specialist Seating & Slings

Are chair cushions/boosters free from visible food debris or fluid staining?

If using a pommel or lateral support, is the fabric clean and the velcro secure?

Is there a clear cleaning schedule evident for specialist armchair cushions?

Are any damaged items immediately tagged 'Out of Use' and reported?
