Repose Mattress Overlay For Effective Pressure Relief

How Do Repose Pressure Relief Devices Relieve Pressure?
Low air technology in the cushion distributes weight and pressure evenly without losing shape. All Repose products feature Smart Valve Technology, which automatically ensures the cushion inflates to the optimal pressure. This pressure has been demonstrated over time to be the optimal balance between comfort and efficacy for pressure ulcer prevention and treatment.

Will the Repose Mattress Overlay Fit My Bed?
The Repose Contur Pressure Relief Overlay has been designed to fit most standard single beds and patient trolleys. When inflated, the Repose Mattress Overlay measures 1780 x 770mm (LxW).

How Do I Inflate the Repose Cushion and Overlay?
Pumps are provided with your Repose Cushion and Repose Mattress Overlay, and they are both inflated in a similar way. The pump pushes easily onto the inflation valve, and then you can inflate the device until air is heard escaping from the pump valve, and cover the valve on the device using the solid end of the figure-of-eight valve cap. Please see the PDF files below for a guide to inflating your Repose devices.

Designed for use in a static chair, the Repose Pressure Relief Cushion is not suitable for use with a recliner chair. However, you can receive the same pressure-relieving benefits with the Repose Contur Rise Recliner Pressure Relief Overlay, which is specially designed to improve your comfort and prevent pressure ulcer development when you're seated in a recliner chair.

Can I Use the Pressure Relief Cushion and Mattress When Travelling?
Yes! The Pressure Relief Pillow and Mattress Overlay will both deflate to a compact size, and can be stored inside their pumps, which double up as the packaging. This is particularly useful if you travel a lot on long-haul flights or extended journeys, and are looking to improve the comfort of your seat and accommodation.

Does the Repose Pressure Cushion Include a Cover?
A cushion cover is not included with the Repose Pressure Relief Cushion. However, a Pressure Relief Cushion Cover can be purchased separately, and this will help you to protect your cushion and keep it performing its best for longer.

Please note that the Pressure Relief Cushion is designed to be used on top of an existing chair cushion. This allows you to achieve maximum comfort from your pressure relief cushion.

Can I Wash the Repose Cushion and Mattress Overlay?
The Pressure Relief Cushion and Mattress Overlay can be easily and thoroughly cleaned with soap and water. This makes it ideal if you're purchasing the cushion and mattress for clinical or community environments where more than one patient may be using them.
