A customisable foam and static air pressure reduction mattress. The mattress is constructed of three foam layers with a roho insert in the middle of the top layer. The mattress also features firm sides to assist with transfers and an integrated hinge system allowing use on adjustable beds. Macro Plus is similar to Macro but with additional roho heel sections. Supplied with a water resistant, vapour permeable, two way stretch cover. These mattresses can be customised to suit size and weight of user. No standard sizes.
General Details
Caution
All pressure reduction products must be monitored to prevent 'bottoming out'. This occurs when the user's weight bears down so hard on the product material that it is flattened and the bony parts are pressed against the surface below the cushion or mattress. Where bottoming out occurs even with correct use (eg correct inflation levels), a different product may need to be considered.
