Airoform Memory interface

Medium-firm visco-elastic foam increases contact for pressure redistribution and provides a low-shear surface. Temperature stability supports consistent immersion and comfort.

Graded postural support

Layered support provides comfort in supine, prone, lateral and Fowler positions, with core stability for central positioning.

Firm foundation

Protects against bottoming out during transfers, repositioning and inclined or Fowler positioning.

Triple-section foundation

Split foundation sections enhance profiling on adjustable beds while minimising strain on bed mechanisms.

Hinged strengthened sides

Firm edges improve lateral stability and assist transfers. Hinges reduce foam fatigue while allowing articulation.

Principles of pressure care

Select a support surface through individual clinical assessment. Mattress selection complements repositioning and ongoing skin care.
