Product features

Exploded view of Alaise Bariatric mattress layers

Engineered foam technology

A high-density comfort topper provides durability under bariatric load. Cooling gel foam supports comfort and temperature management.

Full-length air cells

Reinforced air cells adapt to body weight and position, with a zoned sacral area supporting pressure redistribution.

Sacral ‘Reserv-Air’ system

A dual-layer design helps reduce bottoming out under load and supports consistent performance during extended use.

High-support perimeter

Reinforced edges provide stability during transfers and repositioning.

Customisable comfort levels

Personalised configurations suit individual needs, with firmer grades available for bariatric support.

Anti-shear system

A multi-compartment design limits internal movement and friction to support skin protection.

Horizontally zoned cells

Anatomically zoned cells provide balanced body support, with controlled airflow assisting movement and immersion.

Heel pressure reduction zone

A gentle heel slope redistributes pressure and supports comfort and positioning.

Principles of pressure care

How reinforced foam and static air work together to support pressure redistribution, stability and microclimate management.

Pressure redistribution

Pressure redistribution

  • Reinforced air cells contour to the body for balanced pressure distribution under bariatric load.
  • The seated Reserv-Air function helps stabilise air movement during extended sitting.
Shear and friction reduction

Shear and friction reduction

  • Independent internal layers move freely to help reduce shear between the user and surface.
  • The inner anti-shear cover helps reduce friction during movement.
Repositioning and mobility

Repositioning and mobility

  • Vertically linked air cells help limit lateral air movement and maintain surface stability.
  • A high-density perimeter supports transfers and repositioning.
Microclimate management

Microclimate management

  • Breathable open-cell foam supports airflow and surface ventilation.
  • A moisture-vapour-permeable cover assists temperature and humidity management.
