Repose Mattress Pressure Relief Overlay and Repose Pressure Relief Cushion Set
If you're at a very high risk of pressure ulcer development, the Repose Mattress Pressure Relief Overlay and Repose Pressure Relief Cushion Set can redistribute your weight while you're sitting in a chair and lying in bed. The inflatable cushion is ideal for relieving pressure on soft tissue areas, and the mattress overlay ensures reliable pressure redistribution in bed.
What's Included?
To ensure you can enjoy optimal comfort and pressure relief, the following items are included:
Can I Use the Repose Pressure Relief Cushion?
The Repose Pressure Relief Cushion is suitable if you're at risk or very high risk of developing pressure ulcers. It provides effective pressure redistribution to prevent pressure ulcers, and is designed to improve your comfort when seated in a standard static chair.
This Repose cushion is also suitable for users with pressure-related tissue damage, though clinical supervision is recommended for more severe damage. The cushion is suitable for bearing weight of up to 139kg.
Can I Use the Repose Mattress Overlay?
This Repose Mattress Overlay is suitable if you're at risk or very high risk of developing pressure ulcers. It provides effective pressure redistribution to prevent pressure ulcers, and is designed to improve your comfort when lying down on an existing mattress of a standard-sized single bed or patient trolley.
This pressure relief mattress is also suitable for users with pressure-related tissue damage, though clinical supervision is recommended for more severe damage. The overlay is suitable for bearing weight of up to 222kg when used on a high-specification foam mattress, or 139kg when used on a non-high-specification foam mattress.
How Do Repose Pressure Relief Devices Relieve Pressure?
Low air technology in the cushion distributes weight and pressure evenly without losing shape. All Repose products feature Smart Valve Technology, which automatically ensures the cushion inflates to the optimal pressure. This pressure has been demonstrated over time to be the optimal balance between comfort and efficacy for pressure ulcer prevention and treatment.
Will the Repose Mattress Overlay Fit My Bed?
The Repose Contur Pressure Relief Overlay has been designed to fit most standard single beds and patient trolleys. When inflated, the Repose Mattress Overlay measures 1780 x 770mm (LxW).
How Do I Inflate the Repose Cushion and Overlay?
Pumps are provided with your Repose Cushion and Repose Mattress Overlay, and they are both inflated in a similar way. The pump pushes easily onto the inflation valve, and then you can inflate the device until air is heard escaping from the pump valve, and cover the valve on the device using the solid end of the figure-of-eight valve cap. Please see the PDF files below for a guide to inflating your Repose devices.

How Quickly Will the Cushion and Mattress Inflate?
When inflated with the pump, the Repose Pressure Cushion and Repose Mattress Overlay will both inflates in a matter of seconds. This makes them quick and easy to use as soon as they arrives with you.
Can I Use the Pressure Relief Cushion with a Recliner Chair?
Designed for use in a static chair, the Repose Pressure Relief Cushion is not suitable for use with a recliner chair. However, you can receive the same pressure-relieving benefits with the Repose Contur Rise Recliner Pressure Relief Overlay, which is specially designed to improve your comfort and prevent pressure ulcer development when you're seated in a recliner chair.
Can I Use the Pressure Relief Cushion and Mattress When Travelling?
Yes! The Pressure Relief Pillow and Mattress Overlay will both deflate to a compact size, and can be stored inside their pumps, which double up as the packaging. This is particularly useful if you travel a lot on long-haul flights or extended journeys, and are looking to improve the comfort of your seat and accommodation.
Does the Repose Pressure Cushion Include a Cover?
A cushion cover is not included with the Repose Pressure Relief Cushion. However, a Pressure Relief Cushion Cover can be purchased separately, and this will help you to protect your cushion and keep it performing its best for longer.
Please note that the Pressure Relief Cushion is designed to be used on top of an existing chair cushion. This allows you to achieve maximum comfort from your pressure relief cushion.
Can I Wash the Repose Cushion and Mattress Overlay?
The Pressure Relief Cushion and Mattress Overlay can be easily and thoroughly cleaned with soap and water. This makes it ideal if you're purchasing the cushion and mattress for clinical or community environments where more than one patient may be using them.

How Often Should I Re-Inflate the Pressure Relief Cushion?
It's recommended that you check the Repose Pressure Relief Cushion on a daily basis. You should re-inflate the cushion if you feel that it has begun to deflate naturally.

Both the Repose Cushion and Repose Mattress Overlay are latex free. This makes them ideal for improving comfort and safety if you have a latex allergy or find latex-based products to be irritating.
Are the Repose Cushion and Mattress Overlay Fire Resistant?

What Do I Do If My Cushion or Overlay Gets a Puncture?
While it's rare that an inflatable Repose device develops a puncture, in the unlikely event of a puncture occurring in your cushion or mattress overlay we recommend that you replace it cushion with a new one. There is no evidence to suggest that the same level of support is provided if Repose is used after a puncture is repaired.
