Description
icare IC25 ActiveX™ Mattress – Soft, Deep-Immersion Pressure Care
The icare IC25 ActiveX™ Mattress is the softest and most immersive option in iCare’s main ActiveX™ homecare mattress range. It is designed for users who prefer a more enveloping sleep surface or benefit from greater immersion around prominent pressure areas, while still retaining firm edge support for transfers and sitting.
At 225 mm high, the IC25 is deeper than the IC15, IC20 and IC30. Its multi-layer ActiveX™ construction responds to warmth and pressure, allowing the surface to become more compliant around the body. Bluetec™ and Vant™ fabrics assist temperature regulation and airflow, while Contour-Latch™ helps keep the mattress secured to compatible profiling beds.
iCare classifies the IC25 as a High Risk pressure-care mattress with a Soft Feel and a manufacturer user-weight range of 30–200 kg. Because deeper immersion can make movement harder for some people, transfer ability and in-bed mobility should be considered alongside comfort and pressure redistribution.

Which iCare ActiveX™ Mattress Should I Choose?
Choose the IC25 when a soft, more immersive feel is the priority. The IC15 is the firmest, lowest-immersion option for users who value ease of movement and transfers. The IC20 provides a balanced Medium Feel. The IC30 is also Medium Feel but adds gel- and charcoal-infused ActiveX™ plus reinforced XP Support™ edges and additional cooling-focused features.
A softer mattress is not automatically a better pressure-care mattress for every user. Greater immersion can improve comfort and envelopment but may increase the effort required to roll, reposition or rise from the bed. The best choice balances pressure-care needs with mobility, transfer technique, body weight, comfort, continence and the bed platform.

Who Benefits From Deeper Immersion?
Some users find that a softer, more conforming mattress feels more comfortable around bony or sensitive areas and provides a greater sense of envelopment. That can make the IC25 appealing when firmer surfaces feel uncomfortable.
The trade-off is movement. A person with reduced strength may find it harder to roll or push up from a deeply immersive surface. Firm edge support helps at the mattress perimeter, but it is still worth trialling the mattress with the user’s normal bed mobility and transfer routine where possible.

The IC25 has a Soft Feel and provides the deepest immersion of iCare’s main ActiveX™ mattresses.
Who is the IC25 most likely to suit?
It can suit users who prefer a softer, more enveloping surface or find firmer mattresses uncomfortable, provided the deeper immersion does not create problems with mobility or transfers.

How does it differ from the IC30?
The IC30 has a Medium Feel and includes gel- and charcoal-infused ActiveX™ plus reinforced XP Support™ edges and extra cooling-focused features.
Can a soft mattress make repositioning harder?
Yes. Greater immersion can increase the effort required to roll, move across the mattress or push up, so in-bed mobility should be considered when choosing the IC25.
What pressure-care category does iCare give the IC25?
iCare classifies it for High Risk pressure-care applications and lists a Waterlow rating of 20+.
Does that guarantee it is appropriate for every high-risk user?

What user-weight range is it designed for?
iCare specifies 30–200 kg.
How thick is the mattress?
The IC25 is 225 mm high.
Why does it still have firm edge support?
The firmer perimeter provides a more stable surface for sitting and transfers even though the central mattress surface is soft.
How does ActiveX™ work?
ActiveX™ becomes more compliant as it warms, allowing the mattress to contour around the user and redistribute loading.
Can it be used on an adjustable bed?
Yes. It is designed for adjustable and profiling bed platforms.
Does the IC25 need to be flipped?
No. It uses a flip-free design.
Is a waterproof cover available?
