About this category

Fluid-repellent, wipe-clean covers make it easier to keep things hygienic, which is especially helpful for anyone spending extended periods in bed.
Buying guide
A few simple questions can help you find the right level of pressure relief for your needs.
Speak to a district nurse, occupational therapist or GP about your mobility and skin condition to help identify the right level of pressure relief.
Decide between a static foam mattress for general support, or a dynamic, alternating air mattress for a higher level of pressure relief.
Measure your bed frame and check whether the mattress is suitable for use with a profiling or multi-section base if needed.
Consider weight limits, ease of use for carers, and how the cover should be cleaned and maintained.

Common questions
Answers to some of the questions we're asked most often about pressure relief mattresses.
A static mattress, usually made from shaped foam or gel, is designed for people who can reposition themselves and need general comfort and pressure support. A dynamic, or alternating, mattress uses a powered pump to automatically change which areas are under pressure, and is generally suited to people with more limited mobility or a higher level of risk.
The right level of pressure relief depends on factors like your mobility, how much time you spend in bed, and your current skin condition. A district nurse, occupational therapist or GP can carry out a risk assessment and recommend the type of mattress that's most appropriate for your situation.
Most pressure relief mattresses are made to fit standard UK bed sizes, so they'll generally fit a standard bed frame. It's worth checking the mattress dimensions and depth against your frame and any existing bed rails before ordering.
Yes, many pressure relief mattresses are designed to flex with multi-section profiling and adjustable beds. It's worth checking that the specific mattress you're considering is suitable for use with a profiling base before ordering.
Most pressure relief mattresses have a fluid-repellent, wipe-clean cover, which supports good hygiene and infection control at home. Always follow the manufacturer's cleaning instructions, as some covers and foam interiors have specific care requirements.
