Anti-bedsore mattresses are especially suitable for people with reduced or no mobility or sick people who will stay in bed for long periods of time.
This type of mattress has a special surface that distributes the weight of the body, relieving pressure and thus preventing the appearance of bedsores (dreaded skin wounds that arise as a result of the immobility of the body). In addition, an anti-bedsore mattress is prepared for people with circulatory problems, excessive sweating, incontinence or neurological problems.
Currently, we find a wide variety of anti-bedsore mattresses on the market, among which the following stand out:
Vicoelastic therapeutic mattresses
They are polyurethane mattresses with a great capacity to adapt to the body and extremely comfortable that distribute weight and relieve tension.
Special anti-bedsore mattresses
Among this variety, a distinction is made between anti-bedsore mattresses for articulated beds, mattresses for barriers (which guarantee greater safety to prevent falls of the person resting) and special anti-bedsore mattresses with a discharge area on the heels
Air bedsore mattresses
A variety that has an inflatable plastic surface. The mattress is connected to an air compressor powered by an electric current that inflates and deflates it, generating movement in the person’s body and changing the pressure points on which it rests.
This feature makes it one of the most effective mattresses for preventing the appearance of ulcers. These are mattresses especially suitable for people with very reduced or no mobility.
Water pressure relief mattress
They contain hot water inside. They are mattresses that benefit blood circulation and oxygenation of tissues by constantly providing imperceptible changes in the body’s support points.
