About this category
Types of pressure mattress
Pressure mattresses come in a few different types, suited to different levels of mobility and risk.
Dynamic (alternating) air mattresses
Powered systems that automatically change which areas are under pressure, generally suited to people with limited mobility or a higher level of risk.
Mattress overlays & toppers
Fit on top of an existing mattress to add a lighter level of pressure relief without replacing the whole mattress.
Comfort, range and independence

Common questions
Pressure mattresses: your questions answered
Answers to some of the questions we're asked most often about pressure relief mattresses.
What's the difference between a static and a dynamic (alternating) pressure mattress?
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.
How do I know what level of pressure relief I need?
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.
Will a pressure relief mattress fit my bed?
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.
Can a pressure mattress be used with a profiling or adjustable bed?
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.
How do I clean and maintain a pressure mattress?
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.
