Patients suffering from chronic soreness and those who spend a\nlonger time in bed usually need more comfort. Comfort is needed because\nconsistent pressure and stress is applied to certain body parts as they\ncontinue to remain in position. This and a few other factors necessitated the\nmanufacture and production of pressure relief mattresses. <a href=\"http:\/\/chicagohospitalbedrental.com\/\">Pressure relief mattresses<\/a> are\ntherapeutically proven to offer succour to sick and ailing patients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This\ntype of mattress is particularly useful and valuable for patients who spend\nextended periods in bed. These patients are highly susceptible to pressure\nulcers and bedsores. Pressure ulcers and bedsores are painful experiences and\nit exposes the patient to risks of infection. The idea behind pressure relief\nmattresses is to reduce the pressure exerted on the bed by high-risk parts of\nthe human body. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For\ninstance, the weight of the patient is redistributed evenly across the surface\nof the mattress. Pressure relief mattresses are also designed to have increased\nairflow so that the underside of the patient will remain cool and dry. It is\nalso possible to incorporate additional systems and features to a pressure relief\nmattress for extra comfort and value. One of such is an air support system that\nensures dryness of the mattress at every point in time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\nis also important to state that the pressure relief mechanism and approach\nvaries from one mattress to another. This makes it more challenging to find the\nbest and most appropriate pressure relief mattress for your need. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In\nthis article, we will be looking at some of the best pressure relief mattresses.\nThese products were manufactured by leading companies and the selection and\nassessment was done based on factors like cost effectiveness, durability,\nsizing, customer feedback, and pressure relief methods. This ranking is in no\nparticular order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>The\nPrevatt Defend Pressure Relief Mattress from Joerns<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This\nmattress made the cut because it is one of the best products around. It is a\nfoam mattress with impressive features such as increased airflow. It has a\nunique open-cell composition that adds to the safety of patients. Due to the\nfact that it is a foam mattress, it is typically more expensive than an\nequivalent innerspring mattress. However, this particular mattress is lower in\ncost when compared to other foam mattresses. It has a pleasant design that\nensures even pressure distribution. Other features include pattern spacing,\nsloped heel zones, and cut depth. Its design is breathable and this reduces or\neliminates the likelihood of bedsores occurring. This mattress is available\nwith or without built-in sideways. It all depends on preference. On the flip\nside, it does not feature independent foam sections and there aren\u2019t too many\nsize options available for this product. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>ThevoRelief\nPressure Relief Mattress<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This\none features micro-stimulation technology and an innovative design. It is very\neffective for relief of pain and it offers so much comfort to ailing patients. It\nhas so many features because it uses a unique technology. As earlier explained,\nit uses micro-stimulation technology that stimulates the human nerves mildly\nwhile the patient is asleep. This technology helps ensure there is no soreness\non the patient\u2019s body. Apart from the micro-stimulation technology, there are\nsuspensions in the construction of the mattress aimed at improving patient\u2019s\ncomfort. These suspensions are the wing and pain suspension. What the wing\nsuspension does is to ensure proper pressure relief and response based on the\nbody physique, shape, and size of the patient. On the other hand, the pain\nsuspension does the job of ensuring the patient experiences a soft sensation by\nleveraging on a line of compression discs. With all these features, the patient\ncan be assured of a pain-free night of sleep. One good thing about this product\nis that it is available in so many sizes and options. However, it is a bit more\nexpensive than other mattresses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Therapeutic\n5-zone support mattress<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As\nthe name suggests, this one is highly therapeutic. It offers superior comfort\nand support to ailing persons. It does this by combining two features \u2013\ncross-cutting and zoning. By zoning, we refer to mattresses that are separated\ninto different sections with each section offering a varying level of support. This\nmeans different parts of the body has different support levels. Most times, the\npart of the body around the hips experiences more firmness because the hip is relatively\nheavier than other body parts. For cross-cutting, the cells of the mattress\nhave the ability to move with the body of the patient rather than offering a\nresistance to body movement. As a result, shear is reduced and the pulling on\nthe skin\u2019s outer layer is reduced when body movement occurs against the surface\nof the mattress. This product is specially made for hospital beds and it has\nreceived rave reviews from many users. Its dimension is 35\u201d X 80\u201d X 5.5\u201d and it\nis made from foam. Also, its cover is zippered and it is made from nylon\nmaterial. The weight capacity of this mattress is 350 pounds and it features a\nnon-skid bottom. It is waterproof, fire-retardant, and super comfortable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Alternating\nPressure Low Air Loss Mattress<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nprinciple of operation of this mattress is such that it supplies air support\ndynamically while operating as an entire system so that bedsores can be\nprevented and healing can be accelerated. It is an entire system because it\nfeatures a pump that is extremely quiet. This pump helps to ensure air flows\nconsistently and it has the ability to supply up to 8 litres per minute. When\nair is supplied, it flows through the interior of the mattress so that air\nreaches the body of the patient. Invariably, bedsores and pressure ulcers are\nprevented from developing. When the pump is in operation, the patient doesn\u2019t\nhear its operational sound or vibration. It has features that isolate the\nvibrations from the air pump. Also, the patient can choose between static and\nalternating modes of air supply. The difference between the two modes is that\nthe static mode ensures consistent supply of the same amount of air while the\nalternating mode supplies varying air volume. One would expect that this\nmattress would be very expensive considering the fact that it features an\ninnovative airflow system but it is quite affordable. However, some of its cons\ninclude the fact that it is only available in a particular size and leaks may\noccur as a result of wear and tear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Solace\nResolution Glissando Heavy Duty Mattress<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This\nmattress has a wide range of impressive features and qualities. It is made from\nfoam of high density and it offers so much comfort to patients. With this\nmattress, patients cannot fallout from bed because it has durable, soft and\nsturdy foam sidewalls. Another feature it has is its sectioned foam design.\nThis means it does not function as a single block of foam. By dividing it into\nsections, we ensure even distribution of pressure across the body of the\npatient so that pressure is not accumulated on a particular body part. This\nmattress also has a gliding layer that is patented. This gliding layer is\nlocated on the top of the mattress. The role of the gliding layer is to reduce\nfrictional force and shear between the skin of the patient and the mattress.\nTherefore, body ulcers and bedsores are prevented from growing. Another\ninteresting thing about this product is that it is quite inexpensive despite\nhaving so many impressive features. So, it is highly cost-effective and of\ntop-quality. On the flip side, this mattress is not available in different\nsizes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What should I ask my doctor\nabout a pressure relief mattress?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If\nyou are thinking about buying a pressure relief mattress, you should know the\nfollowing or ask your doctor the following questions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Are there risk factors? If\nyes, what are the risk factors? <\/li><li>Is the patient mobile?<\/li><li>Does the patient have body\nulcers and pressure sores already?
