Surrounds & Overlays
Surrounds and overlays provide flexible ways to modify, enhance, or extend an existing support surface without replacing the entire mattress system. Whether accommodating larger bed sizes, improving stability and transfers, or tailoring comfort and pressure redistribution, these solutions help clinicians customise a support surface to better suit individual client needs.
Used across hospital, aged care, rehabilitation, bariatric, paediatric, and homecare environments, Forté Surrounds and Overlays combine clinically proven materials with practical functionality to support comfort, safety, and pressure care outcomes.
Australian Made
At Forté Healthcare, we manufacture a range of surrounds and overlays designed to complement existing support surfaces and meet the demands of modern healthcare environments. Built in Armidale, NSW using premium Australian and European materials, these solutions are developed to enhance pressure care performance while maintaining practicality for both clients and caregivers.
Our surround range enables alternating and static air systems to be adapted to larger bed sizes while improving overall stability, transfer support, and usability. Our overlay range includes specialised Airoform technologies that can be used to customise comfort, immersion, microclimate management, and pressure redistribution characteristics.
With more than 25 years of experience in pressure care, we understand that every client and care environment is different. That’s why our surrounds and overlays are available in a range of sizes, configurations, and customisation options to suit specific clinical requirements.
