The Sovereign Surround utilities the proven Sovereign Foam Core Structure, optimising care performance and comfort. Covering materials and construction methods match the clinical performance characteristics of the Air Support Surface to ensure that pressure relief and patient skin protection is not compromised.

WHY WOULD YOU USE AN AIR MATTRESS SURROUND?
Most air mattresses on the market are only available to suit single bed sizes. King single air mattress sizing is becoming a bit more common, but any size larger is a rare occurrence. Does that mean that individuals requiring an air mattress are forced to have a small bed size? Not with the development of air mattress surrounds!
An air mattress surround is a foam mattress that ‘houses’ or ‘surrounds’ another mattress (typically an air mattress). A surround is used to allow an air mattress to fit a bed of any size – from king single to a super king.
Key benefits of an air mattress surround:
- Increased patient compliance. Surrounds give consumers more choice. If clinically you require a high care air mattress to protect the integrity of your skin, you want to be able to use it on a bed of choice. For example, selecting a queen-size bed so you can remain sleeping with your partner. Clients are more willing to accept and use their air mattresses if it allows them to live a normal lifestyle too.
- Safety. In any scenario, it is essential that the mattress fits the bed platform to prevent any risk of entrapment. Surrounds can be an excellent solution to building out a mattress to a size that fits the bed platform.
- Enhanced Stability. Traditional Air mattresses are often associated with instability – due to the movement of cells, and simply, the nature of air. Surrounding an air mattress with a stable foam on the base and sides can significantly increase the stability offered by the mattress. In addition, a firm surround will prevent the risk of falling when transferring and make primary care easier.
- Makes primary care easier. Selecting a bed with a wider surface can make the dressing, repositioning and other care routines easier.
WHAT DOES HIGH RISK MEAN?
With a pressure care surround, you can have peace of mind that the complete surface offers a high level of pressure care.
‘Risk’ relates to the likelihood of developing a pressure injury. You can determine the risk of your client but conducting a risk assessment – using a risk assessment tool such as the Waterlow along with qualified clinical judgment and knowledge of the client’s history and underlying condition.
On the Waterlow Risk Assessment Tool, typically clients who score up to 20 are suitable for one of the mattresses within the High Care Medical Mattress range.
FIRM SIDE WALLS
The Sovereign AMS6 mattress surround has inbuilt firm side walls constructed of an ultra-high density foam, engineered with a profile hinge system to reduce falls risk and provide enhanced stability. Side walls significantly help reduce the effort required to transition on or off sleep surface and assist with repositioning and other tasks. Therefore side walls are important for any users with limited strength.
Inbuilt strengthened sides reduce the risk of foam compression on the mattress edge, and subsequent user ‘roll-out’. Firm, rigid edging provides structural support for transfer, ingress, and egress. Forté side walls make primary care easier and suit the use of transfer and mobility aids such as slide boards.
Forté side walls have been designed with a unique integrated hinge system to reduce tension & compression in foam when used with a profiling bed. Reducing tension aids overall mattress longevity. The hinge system allows the mattress to easily articulate for the maximum benefit of electronic bed function.
VENTRAFLOW® FOAM TECHNOLOGY
With a marketing leading CNC machine, Forté has the in-house capacity to develop and produce engineered foams that can be used to offer unique features and functions within a mattress.
Each mattress within the Sovereign High Care range includes an engineered foam layer to provide deep immersion, tailored envelopment and enhanced micro-climate.
The engineered foam is often referred to as ‘castellated’ or ‘modulated’, whereby foam is cut into unique shapes – typically small cells in a grid-like pattern.
Forté engineered foams are zoned to provide optimal envelopment alongside stability where it is needed for critical body regions. i.e. larger cells in the sacrum, smaller cells in the Heel region, medium-sized cells for the scapular region.
The secondary immersion layer of the Sovereign S4 mattress has an engineered foam technology called Ventraflow. Distinctive to Ventraflow is the shape of each castellation – in almost a key-whole shape.
The Ventraflow design has several unique functions:
- creates lateral and longitudinal air channels throughout the mattress which facilitate free movement of air throughout the foam core, improving internal micro-climate conditions and reducing risk of ‘hot-spots’.
- enhances envelopment which provides the support surface with maximum surface area for the individual, providing optimal pressure redistribution.
- each cell has a 180° pivot point which increases lateral flexibility and lessens internal tension throughout the surface. Reducing tension also increases the longevity of the mattress.
