Sleeping on a medical mattress, supplied by a contract bedding manufacturer with experience in delivering the highest quality of mattress cutting, brings with it a whole host of benefits. If you are ill or injured, and there is a requirement to spend time either in a hospital or at home with a medical mattress, sleeping on this type of pressure relieving mattress will go a long way to providing you with the comfort and other benefits that you need and deserve.
Pressure relieving mattress
The biggest advantage of sleeping on a medical mattress is that it has been designed to provide the perfect redistribution of pressure. This is vital for those people with limited mobility or who have been confined to bed for long periods of time. A good medical mattress alleviates pressure on the parts of the body that are vulnerable to sores and pressure ulcers. Areas such as the shoulders, hips, and heels are better protected when sleeping on a medical mattress.
Support for your whole body
By perfectly redistributing your body weight, a medical mattress is designed to provide support for your entire body. This helps to promote better spinal alignment and reduce pain points in the body, in the vulnerable parts mentioned above especially. This aids in promoting a better sense of well-being for those confined to bed.
Optimal comfort
The latest technologies and materials are used within medical mattresses, improving the level of support and comfort provided to those sleeping on them. Better weight distribution leads to a reduction in general discomfort, and with that comes reduced pain and a better night’s sleep.
Better hygiene
For many medical mattresses, there is the provision of a waterproof or water resistant cover that helps to protect against spills, accidents and bodily fluids, which helps to create a cleaner and more hygienic environment to sleep in. This is especially important in hospitals and care homes and helps to maintain a high standard and longer life cycle for the mattress.
Motion control
Medical mattresses are designed to prevent the transfer of motion, or at least to minimise it. What this means is that you are less likely to disturb another person in the bed if it is a shared bed. The more movement a mattress experiences the more likely it is to suffer from wear and tear over time and the less likely the person in the bed is to get a good night’s sleep. This helps not only the person sleeping in the bed but also the longevity and durability of the medical mattress.
You can see that there are a few benefits to sleeping on a medical mattress. This is why contract bedding for hospitals and other types of medical facilities requires cooperation with companies that have high reputations and understand what it takes to produce precision mattress cutting for a medical foam mattress. With this type of support, patients and those in long-term care and with long-term injuries and illnesses can experience a much higher quality of sleep and comfort.
