The distribution of pressure not only provides great comfort to the patient but something much more important – given its interior in castellation cuts, it responds to the need of each individual to protect themselves from obtaining pressure ulcers, whether their risk is large or small. This makes the ICON Essential Mattress a perfect solution for those patients who must stay in bed for a long period for a mandatory recovery.

Another thing that worries us a lot when it comes to keeping a patient in bed is the durability and maintenance of the mattress. The Essential Mattress by ICON brings us a perfect solution given its coverage is made of a polyurethane fabric, woven in a way that forms a multi-stretch layer and, even better, it is waterproof. These advantages added to its modern design not only ensure durability but also allow the patient’s recovery on a surface that reduces friction and shear forces, characteristics that can further magnify its main function: weight distribution and avoiding pressure ulcers.

  • ICON Essential Mattress comes in 2 thickness sizes for patient comfort: 2000 x 880 x 150 mm and 2000 x 880 x 120 mm. In this way, the patient can choose the mattress that best suits their rest: a more rigid surface or a more padded.
  • Castellation cuts in the foam of the mattress, which helps the uniform distribution of the patient’s weight throughout the mattress providing comfort and safety.
  • A cleaning temperature of up to 95 °C allows cleaning with hot water without damaging the mattress and removing difficult stains or dirt.
  • Multi-stretch polyurethane fabric ensures minimal friction in the patient, preventing ulcers or skin damage.
  • Zipped around three sides for easy inspection and makes laundering a lot easier.
  • It allows a large amount of maximum weight: 110kg for its 120 mm thick version and up to 140kg for its 150 mm thick version.

VAT Relief for the Disabled

What is VAT relief?

We have compiled this small guide to help you understand who is and who isn’t eligible to claim VAT relief on disability aids available to buy on this website. VAT relief allows chronically ill or disabled people to buy eligible items at 0% tax rather than the current standard rate of  VAT – saving them a significant amount of money.

Who is eligible for VAT relief?

To be eligible for VAT relief the government says that you have to fit the following criteria:

  • Charities – simply provide us with your charity number.
  • A person is ‘chronically sick or disabled’ if they are a person:
    • With a physical or mental impairment which has a long-term and substantial adverse effect upon their ability to carry out everyday activities; with a condition that the medical profession treats as a chronic sickness, such as diabetes; or who is terminally ill.
  • Important to note: It does NOT include a frail elderly person who is otherwise able-bodied or any person who is only temporarily disabled or incapacitated, such as with a broken limb.

What proof do we need to provide?

The government requires a simple declaration to be made as to the nature of your disability at the time of order in order to waive VAT on an eligible purchase. No proof of your disability need be shown to any party at any time. It is easy to claim VAT relief, all we need to know is the full name, full address and what their chronic sickness or disability is. We do not need a doctor’s letter or any reference numbers as long as we have the requested details.

The above information can be provided to us during the checkout. If you order online, by phone or by post we will send you a form and a free return envelope asking you for the above information and a signature.

If you see a small purple banner or text link with the words, “VAT relief available” or a price shown with “with VAT relief” after it, then VAT relief can be claimed on that particular item.

Things to remember

  • We do NOT decide if an item is or isn’t exempt and we don’t make any more or less money if we charge you VAT or we don’t charge you VAT
  • The details you provide are private and strictly confidential. They can only be viewed on our secure private company network and will be made securely available to the UK Government HMRC should they request any clarification on your purchase.
  • If you do not complete the VAT relief form, or you are not eligible for VAT relief, we are obliged to charge you the full prevailing VAT on the whole of your order
  • Not all products are eligible for VAT relief, so we are obliged to charge VAT at the prevailing rate for those products that are not VAT exempt, even after you complete this form
