Not Just a Block of Foam

Understanding Reactive Mattresses

The science and design of reactive mattress surfaces can be complex. To make informed choices, it's essential to understand the components of these mattresses.

Over time, mattresses have evolved to create a category of high specification foam mattresses. However, not all mattresses are created equal. By thoroughly understanding the science behind the mattress system, we can provide clients with the best advice on appropriate choices.

During this session, we will cover: 
- The science behind redistribution surfaces for pressure care 
- Requirements of the foam component 
- Requirements of the cover component 
- Evidence of reactive surfaces 
- Criteria and assessment for use 

By the end of the session, you will have a comprehensive understanding of the category, be able to confidently prescribe reactive mattress surfaces and compare different products.
