Pressure mapping for the Zephair mattress is conducted using the RESNA/NPIAP 50th Percentile Male Mannequin. This specialised test mannequin has emphasised bony prominences to accurately replicate peak pressure points, excluding the impact of soft tissue. This enables precise and thorough testing, ensuring the mattress provides superior pressure redistribution performance.
