Optimal 5zon — NDIS Pressure Care Mattress Australia

The Optimal 5zon is a five-zone foam pressure care mattress from Care of Sweden, the Swedish specialist behind the CuroCell range. It replaces a standard mattress and helps prevent pressure injuries for people who spend long hours in bed, whether that is at home, in aged care or in hospital. It suits users at risk up to and including category 3, and it is rated to 180 kg. The name tells you how it works. Five zones divide the mattress so each part of the body gets the right level of support. The surface is cut into a pattern of small cubes, and lighter areas such as the heels sit on smaller cubes for a more even spread of pressure. The cold foam underneath is dense, 50 kg/m³ in the base and 65 kg/m³ up top, so the mattress resists bottoming out year after year. Sitting up matters as much as lying down. The patented DuoCore sit-function supports the hamstrings and pelvis when the user sits up in bed, holding a stable upright position for meals, conversation and easier breathing. Lie back down and the same mattress gives proper sleeping comfort. That is the part carers tend to notice first. Shear is the quiet cause of many pressure injuries. The 5zon's foam core is built in two lined layers that glide against each other when the user changes position, so the movement is absorbed by the mattress instead of the skin. The hygiene cover is vapour permeable and fluid resistant. Wipe it over with standard cleaning agents or disinfectants, or machine wash it at up to 95 degrees and tumble dry. The mattress is fire tested to EN 597-1 and EN 597-2 and carries a 5 year technical lifespan.
