  • Pressure relieving mattress
    Patent number: 9849052
    Abstract: This invention relates to a pressure relieving mattress including an elongate support 11 having a base 12, a pressure relieving overlay 15 and an inflatable inlay 16. The inlay 16 has a plurality of laterally extending inflatable cells 23. At least some of the cells, in at least their un-inflated state, have an inflatable volume which is wider adjacent its ends than its mid portion. This reduces the likelihood of gaps appearing between the pressure overlay and the walls of the tray.

  • Pressure relieving mattress
    Publication number: 20050172414
    Abstract: This invention relates to mattresses, such as a pressure relieving mattress, comprising a base portion and an upper portion overlying the base portion and having an interface between the portions which has a coefficient of friction low enough such that the portions can slide relative to each other. This configuration enables relative movement of the portions, when the mattress is lying on a profiling bed and the bed is being profiled.
