Sensaflex 500 Foam Mattress – Medium Risk

The Sensaflex 500 is an affordable mattress designed to provide reliable pressure care for medium-risk users. Made with castellated foam, it helps reduce pressure points while improving comfort and support. Its clever design promotes effective pressure redistribution, making it suitable for hospitals, nursing homes, care homes, and hospices. By reducing the risk of pressure sores, this mattress offers both comfort and peace of mind.

Castellated foam:

Castellated foam mattresses combine function with comfort. The foam moves in independent sections, working in unison with a profiling bed. This design improves pressure relief by allowing small sections to adjust with the user’s movements. As a result, friction is reduced and airflow pockets open to keep the user cool. In turn, this helps lower the risk of sweat and moisture build-up.

Supplied with a protective vapour permeable PU cover:

To improve the quality of care, a durable multi-stretch waterproof cover is fitted to the Sensaflex 500 foam mattress. The cover is antimicrobial which helps in reducing bacterial and odour. It is also machine washable to keep your service user’s environment sanitary. The mattress cover is also designed with a white underside to make it easier to identify fluid ingress and strikethrough.
To launder the cover in a washing machine, set the main wash to 65 Degrees Celsius for no less than 10 minutes or 95 Degrees Celsius for no less than 3 minutes. The cover can be tumble dried on low heat and the temperature must not exceed 60 Degrees Celsius. The foam can be autoclaved at 134 Degrees Celsius.
