FAQ

What are the benefits of using a pressure-reducing mattress?

Pressure-reducing mattresses help distribute body weight evenly, minimise pressure points, and improve comfort for individuals who are bedridden or at an increased risk of pressure injuries

What is the difference between a foam mattress and a hybrid pressure care mattress?

A foam mattress is typically made of visco-elastic foam or similar materials, offering consistent support and pressure redistribution. Hybrid mattresses combine foam layers with air cell configurations, offering additional pressure reduction and comfort.

How does an alternating air mattress work?

An alternating air mattress supports the user’s body on the inflated cells, whilst the deflated cells offload pressure and allow increased blood flow to the skin and tissues. The air cells alternate between inflation and deflation to prevent and manage pressure injuries.

Who can benefit from using a hybrid pressure care mattress?

Hybrid mattresses are ideal for individuals with moderate to high risk of developing pressure injuries, as they offer both comfort and advanced pressure redistribution.

How often should foam pressure-reducing mattresses be replaced?

Foam mattresses should typically be replaced every 3-5 years, or sooner if there are visible signs of wear, such as sagging or loss of support, which could compromise their effectiveness.

What are the key features of an alternating air mattress?

An alternating air mattress features a pump system that cycles air through the mattress cells, relieving pressure on the body and helping prevent pressure injuries.

Can pressure care mattresses be used on any type of bed frame?

Yes, most pressure care mattresses are compatible with standard bed frames, though adjustable or profiling beds may be recommended for maximum therapeutic benefits.

What is the difference between low air loss and alternating air mattresses?

Low air loss mattresses provide continuous airflow to maintain skin integrity and prevent moisture buildup, while alternating air mattresses have a low air loss feature which assists in the management of heat and moisture in the skin.

Are pressure care mattresses covered by health insurance or NDIS?

Depending on the patient’s medical condition and specific needs, pressure care mattresses may be covered by health insurance or funding bodies like the NDIS. Check with your provider for eligibility.

How do I maintain and clean an alternating air mattress?

Alternating air mattresses should be wiped down with mild detergent and warm water regularly. The pump, tubing and air cells should also be checked periodically for any blockages or air leaks.
