Who Can Benefit from Pressure Relieving Mattress Overlays?

Pressure relieving products have been used in the healthcare sector for many years now, however, they have evolved considerably over time. Traditionally, cushions and mattress overlays required pumps and electricity to reduce the risk of developing pressure ulcers. Yet, at Dan Medica South, we have created a breathable, lightweight and hard-wearing alternative that is suitable for patients in hospitals, as well as care homes and in the community. 

The Treat-Eezi range provides effective pressure relief and has become essential to the care of both medical and non-medical clients. The Treat-Eezi Community Pad is a convenient solution for a diverse range of individuals seeking relief from discomfort and pressure sores. Below we have explored pressure relieving mattress overlays in more detail. 

Relieving Pressure in a Range of Settings

As touched on above, pressure relieving mattress overlays are not exclusively for medical patients. Their versatility means they can benefit non-medical clients who are in search of superior comfort and pressure care. From the elderly who spend extended periods in bed to individuals working from home seeking extra support while seated, they adapt to varied needs.

For those at a high risk of developing pressure ulcers, finding the right support can be very challenging. When common equipment has failed, the Treat-Eezi mattress overlay has been effective at distributing pressure and relieving discomfort. It can be used as both a preventative measure and to assist with the healing stages of existing pressure injuries. 

24-Hour Protection to Every User 

Pressure sores are an around-the-clock concern for lots of people and the Treat-Eezi overlay is designed with this in mind. In addition to being used on top of a standard foam mattress, it can be used on any foam-based chair. Being able to transition from bed to chair and back again provides 24/7 support to users. So, you won’t have to worry about pressure ulcers developing, whether you’re sitting or lying down. 

No matter where it’s used, the pressure relieving mattress overlay will conform to the natural body contours and distribute weight evenly. This can help to improve blood flow and prevent skin breakdown, not to mention friction is diminished. By allowing air to flow through every square centimetre of surface area, the Treat-Eezi overlay can help to keep you cool and improve general comfort as well. 

Who Can Use Mattress Overlays?

Many people don’t realise how versatile pressure relieving mattress overlays can be. In today’s fast-paced world, comfort shouldn’t be a luxury and it’s essential for maintaining health and wellbeing. Whether it’s a break from the hustle and bustle of daily life, the end of a long working day or simply the desire for a better night’s sleep, the Treat-Eezi overlay can benefit anyone seeking improved comfort. It’s designed to adapt to various body shapes and sizes. 

• Individuals with Limited Mobility – For those who spend significant time in bed due to health conditions, the risk of pressure sores is a serious concern. Mattress overlays enhance comfort levels and protect vulnerable skin on pressure points.

• Elderly Individuals – As people age, their skin becomes thinner and more susceptible to injury. Elderly individuals can benefit from the added cushioning and support overlays provide, enhancing blood circulation and improving quality of sleep. 

• Post-Operative Patients – Recovery periods post-surgery can be challenging, with patients confined to bed. A pressure relieving mattress overlay can be a game-changer, offering support and speeding up recovery by preventing pressure-related complications.

• Home Office Workers – With the rising trend of remote work, many sit for long periods on unsuitable chairs, which can lead to discomfort and pressure-related issues. Overlays transform an ordinary chair, boosting productivity and well-being. 

• Travellers – The portability of the Treat-Eezi overlay makes it an ideal travel companion, providing comfort and pressure relief no matter where you are. You can ensure that you can rest effectively without any concerns. 

• Athletes – Training regimens can lead to muscle fatigue and soreness, and rest is a key component of an athlete’s recovery. Overlays provide support and pressure distribution, which is particularly beneficial during periods of rest due to sports-related injuries.
