Pressure Care Mattresses

If you or a loved one are in bed for an extended period recovering from surgery, old age or medical conditions, they will be at risk from developing pressure injuries.

Our mattresses are designed to provide support & pressure relief for the user. A healthcare professional will assess any risk, which can be dependant on many factors including age, weight, medical condition etc. Our mattresses are risk rated i.e. low, medium, high or very high risk.

The mattress should match the risk factor that has been identified to reduce the risk of pressure injuries.

As mentioned previously, pressure Care Mattresses can be matched to the patient’s risk of pressure injuries. These mattresses are designed to be used with a profiling bed with a mattress platform consisting of two, three or four sections depending upon the level and complexity of the profiling action provided. These adjustable sections enable the different parts of the bed platform to incline independently to create a rising backrest and knee break profile for increased comfort, support and pressure care.

Profiling beds help make it simple to position a patient for medical procedures or leisure activities properly, but not all mattresses are suitable for use on top of another mattress – unless stated. Our mattresses are designed to move along with a profiling bed to minimise shear and friction forces during movement, ensuring patients receive the best and most effective pressure relief possible.

Most of our mattresses come with a vapour permeable cover that resists fluids and stretches without causing additional friction when the user moves. Mattresses should be checked regularly for any damage.
