What You Should Know About Mattresses and Pressure Injuries


When it comes to caring for our loved ones in the hospital, every detail counts. One aspect that often goes unnoticed, but is crucial to a patient's recovery and comfort, is the mattress they rest on day and night. This is where a vital part of their well-being comes into play: preventing pressure sores, those annoying and dangerous ulcers that can arise from prolonged bed rest. At TheraMart, we take this matter with the seriousness it deserves.

Rest and Recovery: The Science Behind Theramart Foam Mattresses

Did you know that a good mattress not only means a pleasant night's sleep, but also a more efficient recovery? A study published in The Lancet gives us clues as to why Theramart foam mattresses are a superior choice over traditional alternating air mattresses.

Join me to discover how science and comfort intertwine for the benefit of your health.

Foam mattresses, especially high-density memory foam mattresses like those offered by TheraMart, provide consistent, even support throughout the body. This helps distribute weight more evenly, minimizing pressure points that can cause skin lesions or bedsores. Additionally, foam has the ability to adapt to the body's shape, which not only increases comfort but also promotes better blood circulation.

On the other hand, alternating air mattresses, while useful for certain conditions, rely on an inflation and deflation system that can be less stable and noisier , which could interfere with the patient's rest. Additionally, they may not offer the same adaptability as foam, which could result in less effective weight distribution.


What are the highlights of the study?

  • High-density foam mattresses and mattress toppers are more conforming to minimize pressure injuries.
  • Case Study: Comparative analysis reveals that patients using memory foam mattresses have a lower incidence of ulcers and bedsores.
  • Recovery time: Anti-bedsore mattresses reduce the time it takes for serious injuries to develop.
  • Proven Quality: Fewer patients experienced re-injuries when using foam mattresses compared to air mattresses.

Let's talk about the best anti-bedsore mattresses

Let us introduce you to our three most popular mattresses in the fight against bedsores:


1. TheraGel Anti-Decubitus Topper 

This mattress is a true revolution in skin care and comfort. The TheraGel combines the latest in memory foam technology with a layer of therapeutic gel that not only adapts to the contours of the body, reducing pressure points, but also helps regulate temperature, providing a cool and restful night's sleep. It's ideal for patients who need extra support and want to avoid the heat that other mattresses can generate.

2. TheraDays Mattress with Heel Cup

TheraDays goes a step further in pressure ulcer prevention, with a special design that includes a foam heel cup, a separate area for supporting the heels , one of the areas most vulnerable to pressure sores. This mattress not only provides prevention but also guarantees superior relief and comfort, protecting the areas most prone to pressure sores.

3. TheraFoam Mattress with Memory Foam and HD Foam

The combination of Memory Foam and HD Foam results in a surface that not only memorizes the shape of your body, offering a personalized fit, but also provides the firmness needed to maintain proper posture during sleep. It's the perfect option for those seeking the ideal balance of comfort and therapeutic support.
