Pressure Care Mattresses
Pressure care mattresses are designed to support comfort and help manage pressure for people who spend extended periods in bed.
For individuals with reduced mobility or limited ability to reposition independently, the right mattress can play an important role in distributing pressure more evenly, supporting comfort, and maintaining skin health over time. Pressure care mattresses are commonly selected as part of a broader approach to positioning, comfort, and long-term wellbeing.
Designed to suit individual needs
Pressure care mattresses vary in design and level of support, depending on how much assistance is required and how the bed is used day to day.
Options range from supportive foam and hybrid mattresses through to advanced air mattress systems, which provide the highest level of pressure reduction by actively redistributing pressure over time. The most appropriate choice depends on factors such as mobility, time spent in bed, comfort preferences, and overall pressure risk
Choosing the right pressure care mattress
Selecting the right pressure care mattress is an important decision and is often guided by an occupational therapist, particularly where there are specific positioning or pressure management needs.
We regularly work alongside occupational therapists, families, and care teams to help translate recommendations into practical solutions that are comfortable, appropriate, and suitable for use in the home.
