Hospital & NHS Grade Mattresses for Pressure Ulcer Prevention
For patients who are bedridden or have limited mobility, the risk of developing painful pressure ulcers is a constant concern. Our pressure relief mattresses are specifically engineered to mitigate this risk.
Using advanced materials like high-density foam and innovative 'castellated cut' designs , these mattresses redistribute body weight evenly, reducing pressure on vulnerable points like the heels, hips, and elbows. This design promotes better blood circulation and airflow, which is critical for skin health and patient comfort. Our range includes solutions for patients considered at "average" to "high risk" of developing pressure sores.

Medical Grade Mattress: Frequently Asked Questions
What is a medical grade mattress?
A medical-grade mattress is a specialised mattress designed to meet the high standards of healthcare environments. Unlike a standard consumer mattress, it focuses on specific medical needs, primarily pressure ulcer prevention and infection control (via waterproof, launderable covers).
Who needs a pressure relief mattress?
Pressure relief mattresses are for individuals at risk of developing bedsores (pressure ulcers). This includes patients who are bedridden, have limited mobility, or spend long periods in one position. A healthcare professional can help assess a patient's risk level.
What is the difference between 'hospital grade' and 'orthopaedic'?
"Hospital Grade" or "NHS Grade" refers to a professional specification that focuses on verifiable features such as pressure redistribution, fluid-proof covers, and fire-retardant properties (BS7177). The term "orthopaedic" is often a marketing term used for firm consumer mattresses and has no official medical definition or authority.
How do I clean a waterproof hospital mattress?
The waterproof covers are designed to be easily wiped down with approved cleaning solutions. For a deep clean, the covers can typically be unzipped and laundered at high temperatures (up to 80°C) to ensure full decontamination, though you should always check the specific product's care label.
