Our range of pressure care mattresses vary in user risk type. The level of risk is determined by many factors and is how likely or unlikely the user is to developing pressure sores. For example if a pressure care mattress has a risk catergory as high, this mattress is suitable for users with a high risk of developing pressure sores.

Mattresses that use a polyurethane (PU) or Nylon cover are still waterproof but do not cause sweatiness and are much quieter and more comfortable to sleep on. Air continues to circulate through the mattress, allowing any water vapour to escape through the top layer which in turn reduces overheating.

Avoid waterproof mattresses that have a vinyl cover as they cause sweating and discomfort. This is due to the protective layer within the mattress preventing the air from circulating.
