Alternating pressure mattresses work by continuously changing the points of pressure across a resident's body, reducing pressure ulcer risk. Clinical standard for medium to very-high-risk residents across UK care homes.
Trade2Care stocks alternating pressure systems, low air loss mattresses and lateral rotation systems. All meet NHS and CQC standards. Compatible pump systems available on each product page.
Risk levels explained
-
Medium risk — basic alternating pressure suitable
-
High risk — higher-spec alternating or low air loss required
-
Very high risk — low air loss or lateral rotation recommended

Hybrid pressure care mattresses combining foam and air technology — suitable for medium to high-risk residents. One versatile solution covering a broad risk range.

Hybrid pressure mattresses combine a high-specification foam base with an air cell upper layer — the comfort of foam with the active pressure redistribution of an alternating system. Only true hybrids including a pump system are featured here.
Why choose a hybrid?
-
Versatile risk coverage — medium to high risk in one mattress
-
Cost-effective — reduces stock complexity across resident types
-
Bariatric options — wider sizes and higher weight ratings available
For very-high-risk residents see our Dynamic Alternating Mattresses. Call 03452 999 999 for advice.
Pressure relief cushions for wheelchairs, specialist seating and profiling beds — foam, gel and air options. Suitable for low through to very-high-risk residents.

Residents spending significant time seated are at risk of pressure damage at the ischial tuberosities, coccyx and sacrum. The right cushion significantly reduces this risk as part of a comprehensive pressure care plan.
Cushion types
-
Foam cushions — low to medium risk; passive contouring support
-
Gel cushions — medium risk; better pressure distribution than foam
-
Air cell cushions — high risk; dynamic pressure redistribution
-
Hybrid foam-gel — good all-round option
Select cushions following a formal pressure risk assessment. Call 03452 999 999 for guidance.
Bariatric alternating and hybrid pressure care mattresses — SWL up to 320kg, wider sleep surfaces. For larger residents where standard mattresses fall short.

Standard pressure care mattresses are not suitable for bariatric residents. Trade2Care stocks dedicated bariatric pressure mattresses rated from 200kg to 320kg in wider sleep surfaces.
Key considerations
-
Weight rating — always select above the resident's actual weight
-
Mattress width — standard 90cm; bariatric options wider
-
Pump capacity — bariatric mattresses need higher-capacity pumps
See our Bariatric Profiling Beds. Call 03452 999 999 for full bariatric specifications.
