MATTRESS, basic, HD foam
Definition
A large, durable, fabric case filled with a resilient material designed to be placed on a bed mattress support platform to provide a comfortable surface on which an occupant can lie and rest/sleep. The device provides no special therapeutic effect.
Specifications
Density of foam is the weight of one cubic foot (=28.3 liter) of foam (= PCF) or the weight of one cubic meter (kg/m3). Density differs as a result of the materials used in the foam construction, and the amount of polymers versus air present in the product. The common range of densities for conventional foam (does not apply to memory foam) can vary by brand.
Lower density foams (< 25 kg/m³) are cheaper to produce because they require less material.
Density is an important indicator of foam performance with regard to comfort, support and durability.
Type of foam | Density kg/m3 | Density / lbs/ft³ or PCF | Use |
Low density foam (e.g. conventional polyfoam) | <25 | <1.5 | child mattress |
High density foam (e.g. polyurethane, latex) | 25 - 60 | 1.5-3.5 | normal adult mattress |
Memory foam | >75 | 4-6 | pressure relief mattress |

Instructions for use
Precautions for Use
Regularly check the general condition of the cover (perforations, abrasion ...) and no longer use the cushion if the cover has a defect. Do not use a mattress with a wet or poorly dried cover.
The sterilization of the cover is strongly discouraged and could damage it.
Maintenance
At the change of patient (non-infectious), clean the surface of the cover with a detergent/disinfectant for surfaces/non-invasive medical equipment. Prepare use-solution in concentration required. Always read the label and product information before use. Do not mix with other products. Make sure to wet the surfaces completely, use a wipe or towel, keep them wet for the whole exposure time.
