When should you change your medical bed mattress?

🎯When should a medical mattress be changed?🎯


✅ First: The regular medical mattress (medical foam/sponge)


◾️Lifespan: 3–5 years


✅ It will be changed immediately in the following cases:


◾️A depression or bulge appeared


◾️It became harsh or uncomfortable


◾️The outer cover is damaged or has become unsanitary


◾️The onset of bedsores


This option is suitable for: patients who are partially mobile or not bedridden all day

✅ Second: Air mattress (variable pressure)


◾️Lifespan: 2–3 years


It must be changed or repaired immediately if:


◾️Weak or stopped air pumping


Irregular cell filling


◾️Air leak present


It no longer prevents bedsores.


This option is suitable for: bedridden patients or those at high risk of bedsores


⚠️ Beware! ⚠️


If bedsores appear → the mattress must be changed immediately

Even if it's new.


✅For their safety...


🟢If the patient moves little → a good medical mattress + regular check-ups


🟢If the patient is bedridden → Air mattress with variable pressure (bubble or cylinder) + continuous monitoring


The appropriate mattress is chosen according to the patient's condition and weight.
