Factors To Consider
All pressure reduction products must be monitored to prevent 'bottoming out'. This occurs when the user's weight bears down so hard on the product material that it is flattened and the bony parts are pressed against the surface below the cushion or mattress. Where bottoming out occurs even with correct use (e.g. correct inflation levels), a different product may need to be considered.
Avoid the use of additional covers or pads between the user and the overlay. This may reduce the product's effectiveness.
Ensure that the item is not accidentally placed upside down or back to front. It is advisable to rotate the overlay on a weekly basis, following instructions printed on the mattress cover.
