Types of pressure care mattresses and overlays
- Foam mattresses use layers or shaped foam to spread pressure, and suit people at low to medium risk. Examples include the Icon I3 3 Layer Mattress, the Fourfront FM5 Mattress, the Sovereign SM5 Mattress and the Merit 2A Premium Medical Mattress. See all foam mattresses.
- Air mattresses use alternating or low-air-loss cells driven by a pump, for people at higher risk or with existing pressure injuries, such as the 8 Air Alternating Mattress and the Zephair ZA1000 Gentle Critical Care. See all air mattresses.
- Hybrid mattresses combine a foam base with air cells, such as the Hybrid Critical Care Air Pressure System and the Softform Premier Active 2.
- Overlays and toppers sit on top of an existing mattress, such as the Alpha Active 3 Mattress Overlay, the ActiveFloat Mattress Overlay, the ActiveX Mattress Topper Overlay and Medical Sheepskin Overlays (AS4480.1).
- Bariatric and paediatric mattresses include the Maxx Bariatric Mattress, the Icon I38 Bariatric Mattress, the Icon I3 Paediatric Mattress and the Sovereign S41000 Paediatric Mattress.
- Covers, protectors and comfort: the Fully Enclosed Mattress Cover, the Fitted Mattress Protector and the Gel Cooling Mattress Pad.
How to choose a pressure care mattress
- Pressure injury risk: a clinician will usually assess risk (for example with a Braden or Waterlow score). Higher risk generally calls for higher-specification foam or an air mattress.
- Time in bed and movement: people who can't reposition themselves need more pressure redistribution.
- Bed size and type: check the mattress fits the bed base, including adjustable and hospital-style beds.
- Weight: choose a mattress rated for the user's weight; bariatric models are available.
- Infection control: look for a waterproof, wipe-clean, vapour-permeable cover.
Mattresses should be prescribed by a nurse, occupational therapist or other clinician as part of a pressure care plan. For seating, see pressure care cushions.
