Description
Why Choose Softbed for Your Herd?
- Long-Term Anti-Compaction Support
Unlike materials that harden over time, the latex core and 10mm vulcanised rubber top cover maintain structure and elasticity, ensuring consistent comfort and reducing stall avoidance. - Improved Cow Comfort & Milk Yield Potential
The system reduces pressure on joints and supports natural lying behaviour, helping improve circulation to the udder and supporting optimal milk production. - Advanced Moisture & Drainage Control
A 22mm profiled solid rubber edge channels liquids away from the cubicle, reducing puddling, improving hygiene, and lowering mastitis risk. - Continuous Roll Hygiene System
The seamless design eliminates joints where bacteria and manure can accumulate, improving biosecurity and simplifying cleaning routines. - Safe, Stable Hammer Top Surface
The non-slip, non-abrasive surface improves cow stability when lying down and rising, reducing strain and supporting mobility health.
What Softbed Delivers on Farm
Softbed is engineered for long-term, high-intensity dairy use while maintaining comfort and hygiene standards year after year.
The continuous roll system reduces bedding build-up in problem areas, while the hammer-top finish allows fast, efficient cleaning. Together, these features improve daily workflow, reduce labour time, and maintain a cleaner cubicle environment.
