As Ayurvedic and Sustainable fashion being an emerging trend in today’s medical textile world, this paper surely going to be a great help for the hospitalized bed returned patients in pleasing their issues. A decubitus ulcer (bed sore) is formed by the pressure against skin, which controls blood flow of the skin.

The non- woven fabric sample will be coated by using the herbals like Kedrostis foetidissima (Appokava Leaf), Chrysopogon zizanioides (Vettiver), Neem and Turmeric. The functional testing of the treated non - woven samples will be subjected for the functional properties. Based upon the test inferences the coated non-woven will be made as a suitable end use products as use and through bed covers. It will be cost effective, non-allergic and the bacteria’s can be protected from affecting others or patient attender who will be using the bed again
