The dynamic Mattress Overlay option is positioned on top of the existing support surface to provide additional pressure redistribution as part of an overall plan of care. They have the advantages of being quick and easy to fit and not requiring the existing mattress to be removed and stored elsewhere. In a home care setting, an overlay placed on one side of the bed may also allow partners to continue sharing the same bed.*
*For use on a double bed - an individual risk assessment must be carried out to ascertain that the securing straps are not required for patient safety.
