Versatile, supportive, and comfortable Hybrid Pressure Care Mattress for adaptable pressure injury prevention
Managing pressure care can be complex, often requiring a choice between static foam mattresses and powered air systems, or cumbersome combinations of both. This can lead to compromises in comfort, logistical challenges for carers, and difficulty adapting as a person's needs change. The Hybrid Pressure Relief Mattress Replacement System offers a practical and integrated solution, removing the need to stack a pressure mattress on top of a standard hospital mattress. It provides a single, unified surface designed for both comfort and clinical effectiveness.
This mattress cleverly combines high-quality foam with advanced air cell technology to create a versatile support surface. It adapts effortlessly to different requirements, serving as a high-specification foam mattress for stable support, a non-powered 'pumpless' air mattress for quiet pressure reduction, or a fully dynamic alternating air system when connected to the optional pump. This flexibility makes the Hybrid Pressure Relief Mattress an excellent choice for home care, community settings, and aged care facilities, allowing for seamless transitions in care without needing to change the mattress itself.

Fit, setup and suitability
Before purchasing, it's important to ensure the mattress is a suitable fit for your bed frame. This is a full mattress replacement system available in Single (90cm x 199cm) and King Single (105cm x 199cm) sizes. Please measure your bed base to confirm compatibility. You must also consider the Safe Working Load (SWL), which varies depending on the configuration. For example, the single mattress supports up to 159kg on its own, 190kg with the static regulator, and 250kg with the pump attached. Select the configuration that safely supports the user's weight.

Hybrid Pressure Relief Mattress FAQ
What are the three ways this Hybrid Pressure Relief Mattress can be used?
This mattress is highly versatile. It can be used as a high-specification foam mattress on its own, as a non-powered static air mattress using the included comfort regulator, or as a dynamic alternating air mattress when the optional pump is attached for active pressure redistribution.
Do I need to buy a separate mattress to put under this Hybrid Pressure Relief Mattress?
No, this is a full mattress replacement system. It is designed to be placed directly onto the bed frame, replacing any existing mattress. This integrated design simplifies the bed setup and ensures the system works as intended.
What happens if the power goes out while the pump is in use?
The system is designed with safety in mind. The pump is equipped with a power loss alarm to notify you immediately. Because the air cells have foam inserts, the mattress provides continued support to the user even during a power failure, preventing the risk of 'bottoming out'.
Is the Hybrid Pressure Relief Mattress noisy to operate?
When used as a foam mattress or with the pumpless static care comfort regulator, the system is completely silent. If you use the optional pump for dynamic alternating therapy, it is designed to operate quietly to minimise disturbance in a home care or facility environment.
