How to Choose a Hospital Bed Mattress
The right mattress depends on comfort needs, pressure relief needs, time spent in bed, and the bed size.
For short-term recovery
A supportive foam mattress may be enough for many users.
For long-term bed rest
Pressure relief becomes more important. Ask a clinician if the user is at risk for bedsores.
Before ordering
- Confirm mattress size.
- Confirm weight capacity.
- Check whether the mattress is included.
- Ask whether pressure relief is needed.
