The ICON Visco Overlay is lightweight, available in various sizes, and suitable for those considered at ‘high risk’* of developing pressure ulcers, making it ideal for home care. The foam core has independent, geometrically-cut surface cells that help reduce shear and friction, increase the overall support surface, and reduce peak pressure.

Comfort and conformity

The interior of the overlay has a top layer of high-density viscoelastic foam that is temperature-sensitive. As a result, the foam warms and conforms to the user’s body shape, maximising the body contact area. This provides exceptional comfort and facilitates pressure reduction by minimising peak pressures.

High-density supportive foam base

The dual-layer construction combines a high comfort level with improved longevity due to the supportive, robust foam base.

For patients at risk of pressure ulcer development, choosing the right pressure relief product is crucial to providing adequate care. Designed to be positioned over the original mattress, the ICON Visco Pressure Relief Mattress Overlay is an ideal choice for high-risk patients, as the temperature-sensitive memory foam conforms to the body’s shape to minimise pressure on all key areas. With a dual-layer design of viscoelastic memory foam and a robust foam base, this mattress provides excellent pressure care with a robust design that’s built to last.

Features and Benefits

  • Suitable for patients at high risk of pressure ulcers
  • Two layers of foam: high-density viscoelastic (memory) foam surface and a robust foam base
  • Temperature sensitive to conform to the shape of the body
  • The shape means the contact area is maximised to help evenly distribute weight and pressure
  • Sacral and heels are protected from pressure
  • Highly durable and robust due to the dual-layer construction
  • Multi-stretch, water resistant and vapour permeable cover
  • Cost-effective solution for pressure relief
  • It sits on top of the original mattress
  • Anti-slip base to prevent slippage on a mattress

Temperature-Sensitive Conforming Foam

The top layer of viscoelastic foam used in this mattress is temperature sensitive, allowing it to conform to the shape of the body after contact. This maximises the contact area, thereby facilitating pressure distribution and minimising pressure on key areas. Bony prominences and problem areas such as the sacrum and heels will be protected, greatly reducing pressure sore risk.

Dual Layer Support

The viscoelastic foam top layer works together with the high-density foam base to provide complete support for the patient. The firmer base is highly supportive, improving the mattress’s stability and making it more durable for excellent longevity.

Shear-Reducing Waterproof Cover

The Propad Visco Mattress Overlay comes fitted with a multi-stretch, water-resistant and vapour-permeable cover, making it highly comfortable while allowing it to protect the mattress adequately. The cover helps to reduce shear forces while preventing falls with its anti-slip base. It also includes a white underside, making it easy to inspect to ensure full infection control.

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.

Displayed prices

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
  • Visit gov.uk/financial-help-disabled/vat-relief for more information. That also has links to other financial help if you are disabled
