Community Vitality is an innovative pressure reducing mattress made from the highest quality materials, it is designed to deliver optimum pressure reduction and thereby provide superior comfort for those who require special bed care. 

Community Vitality pressure care mattress is made from a visco-elastic, energy-absorbing, temperature sensitive material that responds to heat and moulds itself uniformly around the patient. Visco-elastic work by conforming to the contours of the body shape reducing pressure to an absolute minimum. This allows patients to benefit from the maximum support and pressure protection possible during sleep or lengthy stays in bed, without the pressure or discomfort that is often associated with bed care.

Community Vitality mattress systems relieve pressure problems by distributing weight more evenly. Laboratory tests and clinical evaluation provide convincing evidence to suggest that Community Vitality will assist in the reduction of pressure ulcers.

Key features at a glance

• Came at the top of a recent Government MHRA study on pressure relieving mattresses.
• Adapts to the body’s shape to give excellent pressure re-distribution.
• It is designed with firm foam side rails to aid patient transfer and repositioning.
• Minimises friction and shear.
• Is extremely robust, so there is less need to worry about them being damaged.
• Re-adjusts to any positional change of the body and re-moulds within just 10 seconds.
• No maintenance, no alarms, no vibration, no cables, no noisy electronics.
• Is compatible with most beds including, profiling beds.  
• It is hygienic as the antibacterial treated foam is not a conducive environment for bed bugs.
• The mattress is softer than our other visco-elastic mattress (HI-Visc).

Patient benefits

• The superior comfort it offers can encourage deeper sleep and faster general recovery.
• It provides excellent pressure redistribution moulding to the shape of the body and spreading the weight over a wide surface area.
• By creating a mould the sliding forces experienced when sitting up in bed are better contained, thereby reducing friction and shear damage to tissues.
• It can help reduce arthritic and back pain.
• It allows the body to breath: A two-way stretch waterproof and vapour-permeable cover is used.

Carer benefits

• Cost effective: challenges the role in the Community of flat alternating air overlays.
• Is extremely simple to use: there are no complicated electronics to learn how to operate.
