Pressure care specialist Airospring has announced a new range of dementia-friendly pressure cushions, which boast a non-clinical look that could otherwise be daunting for dementia patients.

During the creation of the new pressure cushions, Airospring worked alongside many different organisations including Alzheimer’s Society and The Care Workers Charity. The team of Airospring professionals have lots of experience in the care industry and wanted to create a cushion to help those with dementia.

The cushions are designed to look like a standard household cushion and are made out of a comfortable and breathable material – 3D spacer fabric. Airospring says that this fabric is a more effective method of providing pressure relief.

To provide peace of mind for individuals, the range’s non-clinical look means that they are not daunting for people with dementia.

Airospring manufactures a lightweight range of breathable pressure relief products, each designed to provide support, increase your comfort and to prevent pressure ulcers.

Below, we take a closer look at what type of pressure relief products there are, as well as why they’re useful and who they’re beneficial for.

At some time in our lives, nearly everyone will suffer from some degree of back pain. If this has happened to you, you were likely given the age-old advice to sleep on the firmest mattress you can find.

Bed sores — also known as pressure sores or ulcers — are injuries to the skin and underlying tissue, as a result of prolonged pressure on the skin.

Airospring had strong interest in it's new MICROCLIMAT TM mattress topper and Airospring PRO product range at the TVS show in Southampton.

If you’re confined to a bed or if you sit in a chair or wheelchair for long periods, you may be familiar with pressure ulcers. They are unfortunately common, but many are completely avoidable.

Let’s take a look at what exactly a contour pillow is and assess whether or not it’s a recommended solution to reduce pressure ulcers.

If you’ve forgotten what it feels like to spend the night in a comfortable bed, or if you’re waking up with aches or pains — then it’s time to make some bedroom changes.

However, before you run to the shops to buy a new mattress, consider using a mattress topper instead. It’s a helpful bedding item, yet often overlooked — you’ll be surprised at the different problems it can address.

Pressure ulcers are unfortunately common, but many are completely avoidable. If you’re confined to a bed or if you sit in a chair or wheelchair for long periods of time, you may be familiar with this painful health problem.

If you’re struggling with sciatica pain (lumbar radiculopathy), you’re not alone. It’s a condition that can flare up quickly, but once you have an understanding of what it is and what you can do to get rid of sciatica fast, you’ll be back on track for enjoying pain-free activity.

Airospring will be exhibiting with our partner Polymorit at the Tissue Viability Conference in Southampton on 1st and 2nd May. We will be featuring our Airospring PRO range aimed at the hospital and care home sectors. We will be showing new products using our Microclimat TM technology. Please come and visit us.
