Thorpe Mill Anti-Pressure Foam Mattress Topper
The Thorpe Mill Anti-Pressure Foam Mattress Topper is designed for relieving pressure build-up associated with the development of pressure ulcers and sores. The square riveted design and premium foam core distribute patient weight across a large surface area to prevent certain areas carrying the brunt of the downward force generated when idle. This mattress overlay is cushioned and soft and is suitable for use with patients who have an existing ulcer or sore.

What Are Pressure Sores?
Pressure sores (sometimes known as pressure ulcers) are injuries to the skin primarily caused by prolonged pressure. They usually affect people confined to their bed or a wheelchair, or those with mobility issues.
How Can Pressure Sores Be Avoided?
Pressure ulcers can be avoided by frequent movement. For those who are unable to move freely, it is vital that a pressure-relief mattress or mattress overlay prevents the build up of sores and ulcers.
How Does the High Specification Foam Overlay Help?
Thanks to a unique castellated design, pressure is distributed further across the mattress, preventing one specific area of the body taking the weight and strain of this downward force. Together with an absorbent and spring foam core, this overlay works like a bouncy top layer, moving weight around seamlessly in order to prevent pressure and strain build up.
How Much Does the Thorpe Mill Mattress Topper Weigh?
This Thorpe Mill Mattress Topper is a dense and supportive topper, weighing in at approximately 6kg.
How Does the Thorpe Mill Mattress Topper Arrive?
Due to it's dense and durable nature, the Thorpe Mill Mattress Topper arrives rolled up to maximise portability and minimise the amount of space taken up during transit.
Pressure Redistribution
Pressure redistribution is vital if you're bedbound or confined to bed for rehabilitation or recovery purposes. Distribution is where weight is evenly spread across a surface to prevent the build up of pressure. This High Performance Overly uses evenly spread square blocks to both absorb force and prevent points where a large amount of weight is concentrated on one specific area.
