Sidhil Softrest Junior Contour Foam Pressure Relief Mattress

Choosing the correct pressure relief mattress is crucial for children in care environments, as optimal weight distribution is often necessary to mitigate the risk of pressure sore development. The Sidhil Softrest Junior Contour Foam Pressure Relief Mattress is made with castellated foam for excellent pressure distribution, and is made with a smaller size to fit paediatric profiling beds like the Sidhil Bradshaw Junior Paediatric Profiling Bed.

What's Included?

• 1 x Pressure relief mattress
• 1 x Waterproof and vapour-permeable cover

Who Can Use the Softrest Junior Pressure Relief Mattress?

This mattress provides weight distribution that will reduce the occurrence of high pressure zones around bony prominences, making it ideal for low mobility patients at a high risk of pressure sore development. As it is supplied in a smaller size than standard mattresses, it is suited to smaller and paediatric profiling beds.

Which Beds Is the Mattress Suitable For?

With a smaller size of 190 x 78.5cm, this mattress is suited for use with smaller profiling beds. It is ideally suited to the Sidhil Bradshaw Junior Paediatric Profiling Bed.

• Suitable for patients at high risk of pressure sore development
• Suitable for use with paediatric profiling beds like the Sidhil Bradshaw Junior Paediatric Profiling Bed

What Is the Benefit of Castellated Foam?

This mattress is made with castellated viscoelastic foam across the entire support surface, meaning the foam is made with slits that allow independent movement of small sections. This castellated helps the mattress to move with the skin of the patient, reducing the shear and friction forces that can exacerbate pressure sore risk. The castellations also enhance the airflow through the mattress, which can help to reduce overheating and moisture risk.

Four-Way Turn Capacity

This mattress is made with four-way turning capacity, meaning that it can be turned from top to bottom and back to front, and provides equal pressure relief qualities on each side. This prevents any indentations in the foam to provide an even support surface for the patient, thereby increasing the longevity and support of the mattress.

Waterproof Cover Included

In order to protect the integrity of this mattress's foam, it is supplied complete with a waterproof, vapour-permeable cover. The cover is made from multi-stretch PU-coated fabric, allowing it to protect the mattress while remaining comfortable for the user. The multi-stretch material allows the cover to move with the patient, helping to reduce shear and friction forces that can exacerbate pressure sore risk.
