The children's mattresses and overlays included here are designed for pressure relief - mattresses for comfort are widely available on the high street.

Children's pressure reducing mattresses may be made from foam, water or be filled with air.

Help and advice

These products are designed to reduce pressure - they do not entirely relieve pressure. Care should still be taken to ensure that children are repositioned and turned regularly to change pressure distribution.

Consultation with a community nurse before purchasing any pressure reducing equipment is strongly advised.
