Metzeler Pressure Care Mattress

Features

Durable Reinforced Mattress Edge
The reinforced high-density foam edge offers exceptional stability during bed transfers, reducing the risk of falls or sliding during ingress and egress. This feature is particularly beneficial for:
•    Patients with reduced mobility
•    Bed users undergoing physiotherapy-assisted movement
•    Situations requiring hoist transfers

By maintaining a defined edge, the mattress aids in posture control during sit-to-stand movements and protects against edge collapse, a common risk in traditional foam surfaces.

Multizone Tubular Core Support System
The internal core of the mattress is composed of Metzeler’s signature tubular foam structure, which is:
•    Zoned anatomically to align with major pressure areas of the body (sacrum, heels, scapula, etc.)
•    Designed for pressure redistribution through equal weight dispersion

This advanced zoning reduces peak interface pressure, a primary factor in pressure ulcer development, while enhancing spinal alignment and postural support.

Waterproof & Breathable Visco-Elastic Cover
The mattress is encased in a vapour-permeable, waterproof 4-way stretch cover that is:
•    Breathable to manage microclimate and skin integrity
•    Antimicrobial and fluid-resistant, supporting infection control protocols
•    Fully removable and washable at temperatures up to 95°C to comply with healthcare hygiene standards

The visco-elastic nature of the cover adds an additional contouring effect, complementing the pressure-relieving properties of the foam.Advanced Thermoregulation for Microclimate Management
The combination of the tubular air channels and a castellated overlay (in soft or medium densities) enables horizontal and vertical airflow throughout the core of the mattress.

Benefits include:
•    Improved air circulation around high-risk areas such as the sacrum and heels
•    Reduced moisture build-up, critical in the prevention of maceration
•    Stable temperature regulation, important for clients with poor thermoregulation, neurological impairment, or prolonged bed rest

Environmentally Responsible Construction
Unlike standard foam mattresses derived from petrochemicals, the Metzeler mattress is made from:
•    Natural, renewable resources including sunflower oil
•    Non-toxic, non-petroleum-based materials
This eco-conscious manufacturing process reduces the environmental footprint without compromising clinical performance.

Innovative Foam Technology: Rubex® Duo Cell
Rubex Duo Cell is Metzeler’s patented high-resilience foam technology that features a dual-pore structure, optimised for clinical care:
•    Large pores provide dynamic pressure offloading
•    Small pores deliver soft, supportive resistance

Additional benefits include:
•    Superior airflow and moisture transport
•    Consistent support response across a wide temperature range (–5°C to +40°C), unlike memory foams that may harden or soften with ambient changes
This results in stable, predictable performance, ideal for both warm and cooler clinical environments.

Clinical Applications
This mattress is suitable for use in:
•    Aged care facilities
•    Post-acute rehabilitation units
•    Community home care settings
•    Long-term immobility management
•    Stage 3 – Medium to high risk – Stage I and II prevention, frequent monitoring, enhanced support surfaces, pressure redistribution.
Compatible with most profiling bed systems and safe for use with mobile hoists or bed-mounted patient handling systems.
