GENERAL USE
MATTRESS CLEANING AND CARE
Mattresses are fully encased in a protective waterproof, multi-stretch PU cover to prevent
fluid ingress from damaging the foam core. The mattress cover should be cleaned regularly in
accordance with your organisation’s disinfection protocol.
For full cleaning procedures for our mattresses see page 8 .
MOVING, HANDLING AND STORAGE
Where possible, mattresses should be stacked flat and transported on a bed base.
Mattresses should be handled by two people, one at either end of the mattress.
Store mattresses in a temperate, dry environment. Do not expose to high humidity or heat.
Do not drag or pull mattresses by the cover.
SAFE USE
The length, width and height of the mattress should be checked to ensure that these
dimensions are within the limits specified by the bed manufacturer and do not introduce gaps
that could increase the risk of entrapment.
Before and during use of mattress overlays with bed rails, consider the reduction in the
effective height of the bed rail relative to the top of the mattress may allow the occupant to
roll over the top of it; extra height bed rails may be required. The hazard of entrapment in the
vertical gap between the side of the mattress and the bed rail may be exacerbated due to the
soft, easily compressible nature of the overlay and/or mattress edge. If the standard mattress
is replaced with a lightweight foam mattress, third party bed rail assemblies (including the
mattress and bed occupant) can tip off the bed when the bed occupant rolls against the bed
rail. This is because many third-party bed rails rely on the weight of a standard mattress to
hold the assembly in place.
If the mattress is on a bed which is profiled it may not be a suitable surface for CPR. In this
case, put the service user on the floor to perform CPR.
