Frequently asked questions
What is a pressure relief mattress?
A support surface designed to reduce pressure on the skin and help prevent or treat pressure ulcers (bed sores) by redistributing or actively alternating pressure across the body.
Which pressure relief mattress do I need?
It depends on the patient’s risk level. Static foam or gel mattresses suit low-to-medium risk; alternating air and hybrid systems suit high and very-high risk. Contact us and we will advise.
What is the difference between alternating air and hybrid mattresses?
Alternating air systems inflate and deflate air cells in cycles to continuously change pressure points; hybrid systems combine foam and air cells for immediate comfort plus active pressure relief.
Do you supply pressure relief products to care homes in bulk?
Yes. Care homes and groups can open a trade account for volume pricing across mattresses and cushions.
How quickly can pressure relief mattresses be delivered?
We deliver UK-wide; contact us for current lead times on larger replacement systems.
