Whether you require a pressure-relieving mattress for medical needs or an adjustable divan mattress for personalised comfort this guide explores the different types available and their benefits.
Types of Mattresses
Profiling Mattresses
Profiling mattresses are designed to flex with the movement of profiling beds ensuring consistent support as the bed adjusts. They help maintain spinal alignment and prevent discomfort caused by mattress bunching or rigidity.
Pressure Mattresses
Pressure mattresses are designed for individuals at risk of pressure ulcers using foam or gel technology to distribute weight evenly. These mattresses help reduce friction and shear improving comfort for those who spend extended periods in bed.
Airflow Mattresses
Airflow mattresses also known as alternating pressure mattresses use air cells that inflate and deflate in cycles to relieve pressure on different areas of the body. These are ideal for individuals with limited mobility or high risk of pressure sores.
Mattress Toppers
Mattress toppers add an extra layer of comfort and support to an existing mattress. They are available in memory foam gel or fibre-filled options to enhance cushioning and pressure relief.
Mattress Extensions
Mattress extensions are designed to increase the length of a bed to accommodate taller users. These are particularly useful for hospital-type and profiling beds where additional sleeping space is needed. Most options are designed to complement specific mattress ranges and require a bed frame with adjustable length to accommodate them properly
Adjustable Divan Mattresses
