icare IC20 ActiveX™ Mattress

icare IC20 ActiveX™ Mattress – Balanced Medium-Feel Pressure Care

The icare IC20 ActiveX™ Mattress is iCare’s middle-of-the-range ActiveX™ mattress and is designed for users who want a balance between pressure redistribution, comfort and ease of movement. Its Medium Feel provides more immersion than the firm IC15 without the deeper, softer feel of the IC25.

The 20 cm-high mattress uses temperature-responsive ActiveX™ material that becomes more compliant as it warms, allowing the sleeping surface to contour around the user. Firm edge support creates a more stable perimeter for sitting and transfers, while Bluetec™ and Vant™ fabrics help with airflow and temperature management.

iCare classifies the IC20 as a High Risk pressure-care mattress with a manufacturer user-weight range of 30–200 kg. Its flip-free design, anti-slip base and Contour-Latch™ system make it well suited to adjustable and profiling beds where the mattress needs to move with the platform without shifting excessively.

Which iCare ActiveX™ Mattress Should I Choose?

Choose the IC20 if you want the balanced Medium Feel in the ActiveX™ range. The IC15 is firmer and lower-immersion for users who prioritise mobility and transfers. The IC25 is softer and more enveloping for users who prefer deeper immersion. The IC30 is also Medium Feel but adds gel- and charcoal-infused ActiveX™ and reinforced XP Support™ edges for additional cooling and edge-stability features.

The best mattress is not simply the softest or highest-rated option. Consider comfort, ability to roll and reposition, transfer technique, pressure-injury risk, continence needs, body weight, time spent in bed and the bed platform. For significant pressure-care needs, individual assessment is important.

Why the IC20 Is the Middle-Ground Option

A firm mattress can support mobility but may feel too hard for some users, while a very soft mattress can increase immersion and make movement more difficult. The IC20 is designed to sit between those two ends of the range. That makes it a useful starting point for users who need pressure care but do not have a strong preference for either a very firm or very soft surface.

Where possible, trial the mattress with the user’s actual transfer method and usual sleeping positions. Edge stability and ease of movement can matter as much as comfort once the mattress is used every day.
