Description

Enhance mattress support, pressure care, and safety across multiple care environments

The XP Support Firm Underlay is a multi-functional foam overlay designed to enhance comfort, support, and pressure management across a wide variety of care scenarios. Whether used to firm up an existing mattress, prevent bottoming out, or act as a crash mat beside the bed, this overlay is a versatile and cost-effective addition to any care setting.

With a supportive 50mm depth and firm-density foam, the XP Support Underlay is ideal for users at risk of pressure injuries, needing mobility support, or requiring added safety around the bed space.

Key Functions of the XP Support Underlay

  • Prevent Bottoming Out: Use as an underlay beneath an existing mattress to provide extra base support and prevent contact with hard surfaces—especially on profiling or mesh beds.

  • Firm Up a Soft Mattress: Ideal for clients who need a firmer sleep surface to assist with mobility, repositioning, or independent transfers.

  • Crash Mat Alternative: Can be placed on the floor beside a bed to act as a soft fall mat, helping reduce the risk of injury from bed falls.

Designed for Use with Alternating Air Mattresses

When used in combination with alternating air mattresses, especially on profiling beds, the XP Support Underlay adds crucial safety and comfort. During repositioning, air mattresses can lose pressure, leaving patients vulnerable to bottoming out on bed frames, slats, or mesh. The XP Support Underlay provides a firm foundation beneath air mattresses, ensuring patients maintain continuous protection—even in profiled positions.

  • Maintains consistent support under fluctuating air pressure
  • Helps prevent pressure injuries and friction-related skin damage
  • Suitable for hospital beds, aged care facilities, and home care settings
