Pressure Relief Mattresses

When you lie in bed, sit in a wheelchair, or wear a cast for a long period of time, you may develop bedsores (or pressure ulcers) on areas of the skin facing pressure.

They occur in stages between Stages 1 and 3, and can be a major problem for the elderly. Serious complications can result, ranging from bone and joint infections to skin cancer, sepsis, and more.

Many people with bedsores may experience pain, discomfort, social isolation, and even depression.

Pressure relief mattresses are designed to protect against bedsores by removing stress off pressure points.

It spreads out the user’s weight over a large surface area and reduces the pressure on the bonier parts of the body that come into direct contact with the mattress.
