Can Mattress Toppers Prevent Bedsores?
Mattress toppers are included in the category of support surfaces that can prevent bedsores. However, only mattress toppers that are designed for pressure redistribution are effective in the healing and prevention of bedsores. Among them are air, gel and foam mattress toppers certified to heal and prevent all stages or severity of bedsores. Deciding on which type of mattress topper to use should depend on the person’s medical situation and the extent of the bedsores.
