Which Size Bed Is This Mattress For?
This pressure relief mattress has the dimensions for a single sized bed (198 x 90cm).
What Is SensaGel Memory Foam?
SensaGel memory foam infuses gel with memory foam to provide the ultimate level of pressure relief possible with a static mattress. This special gel-foam hybrid is located at the heel section in order to provide extra relief around one of the most high-risk areas for bedbound and immobile patients.
