Description
Mediflex Pressure Relieving Mattress
The Mediflex is a polyurethane-foam care mattress designed to profile with compatible electric beds. Deep castellations help the foam conform through bed movement, while a softer heel zone and bi-elastic waterproof cover support pressure redistribution and day-to-day hygiene.
Key Features
- Contoured polyurethane foam core.
- Deep castellations for profiling-bed flexibility.
- Low-density heel zone.
- Foam side borders for edge support.
- Breathable waterproof bi-elastic cover.
- Welded seams and concealed zip.
- User-weight range approximately 20–120 kg.
- Approx. 150 mm mattress depth.
- Suitable only where mattress dimensions match the bed platform.
Bed Compatibility and Fit
Mattress fit is safety-critical on a profiling bed. Confirm the required bed-platform dimensions with MoveSmart before ordering so the mattress matches the intended bed correctly.
Choosing a Mediflex Mattress
The key considerations are the bed-platform dimensions, profiling compatibility and user weight. A mattress that is too short, too narrow or poorly matched to the bed frame can create gaps or interfere with profiling, so exact fit matters more than simply choosing a familiar “Single” or “Super Single” label.
Fit the Mattress to the Bed and Care Needs
Mediflex Pressure Relieving Mattress should be selected around the user’s comfort, mobility and pressure-care requirements as well as the bed platform. Confirm the mattress length, width and depth, particularly for profiling or adjustable beds where an unsuitable size can affect movement of the platform. Consider how easily the user repositions, transfers and regulates temperature during sleep.
Use the mattress on a compatible, supportive base and follow the stated care instructions for the cover and internal layers. Bedding should not be pulled so tightly that it restricts profiling or changes the feel of the surface. Anyone with existing pressure injuries or a high clinical risk should have the complete sleep surface assessed by an appropriate health professional.
Frequently asked questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the mattress made from?
Polyurethane foam with a contoured, castellated construction.
Why are there deep castellations?
They allow sections of the foam to flex and conform more easily as a profiling bed changes position.
What is the heel zone?
The heel area uses lower-density foam to provide a softer support zone beneath the lower legs and heels.
What does the cover do?
The bi-elastic cover is breathable and waterproof, and is designed to move with the foam while reducing surface friction.
Is the cover easy to clean?
Yes. The waterproof cover and welded-seam design are intended for practical care-environment cleaning. Follow the supplied care instructions.
What is the user-weight range?
Approximately 20–120 kg.
How thick is the mattress?
Approximately 150 mm.
What sizes are available?
MoveSmart currently has Single and Super Single purchase options. Exact mattress dimensions should be confirmed against the intended bed before ordering.
Why should exact dimensions be confirmed?
A profiling-bed mattress must fit the platform correctly. Confirm the required bed dimensions with MoveSmart before ordering.
Can it be used on a standard domestic bed?
It may physically fit some bases, but it is designed as a care/profiling-bed mattress. Confirm dimensions and intended use first.
Does it guarantee prevention of pressure injuries?
No. It is designed for pressure redistribution, but pressure-injury risk depends on the individual and their full care plan.
Is it supplied with the Casero Duo bed?
A Mediflex mattress is included with the Casero Duo Bed with Mediflex Mattress package.
