8.1 Comfort level
The comfort level adjustment dial allows carers to adjust pressures within a safe pre-set range to
provide patients with enhanced comfort or support whilst maintaining a very good level of protection
and therapy. Qualified clinical advice must always be taken before adjusting mattress overlay
pressures.
When the dial is turned towards
Firm
, the output pressure will increase to provide a higher pressure
output and thus increased support.
When the dial is turned towards
Soft
, the output pressure will be decreased to provide a lower
pressure output and thus increased comfort.
To check if the pressure is adequately supporting the patient, slide one hand between the mattress
overlay and base mattress to feel under the patient’s bottom. You should be able to slide the hand in-
between and an acce
ptable range is approximately 25 to 40 mm (1” to 1-1/2”) to ensure the patient Is
not bottoming out.
