Bed Mattress
Hospital bed mattresses play a crucial role in preventing pressure sores and ensuring patient comfort during extended bed rest.
Pressure Redistribution: Hospital bed mattresses include foam, gel, innerspring, and air mattresses that help redistribute a person’s weight across the surface. This redistribution helps prevent and treat pressure ulcers (commonly known as bedsores) by reducing prolonged external pressure on tissues.
Specialized Materials: Unlike regular mattresses, hospital bed mattresses use materials tailored for medical needs. These materials include foam, innerspring, air, and gel. Additionally, hospital bed mattresses are waterproof, antimicrobial, and easy to clean, meeting medical-grade sanitation standards.
Adjustability: Hospital bed mattresses are compatible with adjustable beds. They can bend with the adjustment of the head and legs, allowing for customized positioning. Regular mattresses may not contour well to these positions, making hospital bed mattresses a better fit.
