Hybrid mattress solutions combining foam and air technologies for advanced pressure care

Hybrid mattresses combine the benefits of foam and air technologies to provide effective pressure redistribution, comfort and support for individuals with elevated pressure care needs. By integrating these two technologies within a single support surface, hybrid mattresses are designed to maximise immersion, stability and pressure management while helping to maintain patient comfort during prolonged periods in bed.

Hybrid support surfaces work by redistributing pressure across a larger contact area and reducing pressure concentrations on vulnerable parts of the body. Depending on the model, this can be achieved through reactive air displacement technology, powered air systems or a combination of high-specification foam and air cells that adapt to the user's position and support needs.

Designed for users who may be at high or very high risk of developing pressure injuries, hybrid mattresses help address key external factors associated with skin and tissue damage, including pressure, shear, friction and microclimate. By promoting a supportive and comfortable lying surface, these systems can play an important role in both pressure injury prevention and ongoing pressure care management.

The DHCare hybrid mattress range includes both powered and non-powered solutions, allowing healthcare providers to select the most appropriate level of support for different care settings and clinical requirements. These mattresses combine effective pressure redistribution with ease of use, helping to improve patient comfort while supporting caregivers in delivering high-quality care.

Suitable for hospitals, long-term care facilities, rehabilitation environments and community care settings, hybrid mattresses offer a versatile pressure care solution that bridges the gap between traditional foam mattresses and fully dynamic support systems.
