Pressure Mattresses For Patients

Pressure mattresses are designed for those with pressure ulcers (also known as bed sores). Pressure sores occur when an individual spends prolonged periods of time in the same position; and typically occurs in those with restricted mobility and/or poor skin integrity.

It is crucial to get the right type of pressure mattress for the right grade of bed sore in order to maximize patient comfort. People who spend a lot of time in bed and can’t easily and frequently change positions are at risk for pressure sores, which are caused by constant pressure that decreases blood flow to tissues and can lead to skin breakdown.
There are several different styles to choose from, each with its own benefits. In this guide, we uncover all the types of pressure relief mattresses, explain their pros and cons, and give you our best product recommendations.
