Do Pressure Relieving Mattresses Work?

Yes, pressure relieving mattresses, such as alternating pressure mattresses, are highly effective for both the prevention and treatment of pressure sores. They are designed to continuously alter the points of pressure against the individual’s body, significantly reducing the risk of pressure ulcers for those with limited mobility. This technology not only provides constant relief to vulnerable areas but also diminishes the need for frequent manual repositioning by caregivers, enhancing overall care quality and patient comfort.
