How heavy-duty mattresses can benefit care homes
Companies operating homes that help the elderly are responsible for ensuring those they care for are getting the rest they need. However, to remain running and to keep delivering high-quality care, it's essential that they invest available funds wisely.
While a standard store option might seem like an easy solution to keep costs low, investing in a heavy-duty mattress for each bed in your care home can be a far smarter move. In the following passages, we’ll explore just some of the many advantages care homes can enjoy when they choose heavy-duty mattresses for their long-term guests.

Heavy-duty mattresses are built to last for many years so companies can receive a sound return on their investment. Constructed from foam for a firm sleeping surface, these 18-cm thick mattresses are robust and ship with a three-year guarantee providing peace of mind for purchasers. For ease of use, these hardwearing mattresses never require turning.
Entirely waterproof
Heavy-duty mattresses are also available that are entirely waterproof, ensuring those you care for will always stay dry. From spilt drinks to overnight accidents, these mattresses can offer an impermeable defence against moisture without you needing to invest in a dedicated mattress protector.
Not only does this add to the comfort of sleepers, but it extends the longevity of your mattress, making sure that it doesn’t need extensive cleaning or replacing after it becomes stained from cumulative spills over time.
