The Forte Aurea Modulated is a dual density foam mattress for a client at medium risk of pressure injury. The top layer is castellated open-cell foam cut in three zones, with larger modules under the sacrum and smaller ones at the shoulders and heels, so the body sinks in where it needs to and stays supported where it does not.
Underneath sits a premium firm foundation layer that stops the client bottoming out during a transfer or when the bed is raised to sitting. The sides are ultra-high density foam with a hinge profile, so the mattress follows an adjustable bed and still gives a firm edge to sit on. The Advantiflex Classic cover is four-way stretch and vapour permeable on top, waterproof underneath, with high frequency welded seams and a waterfall flap over the zip, and it wipes clean with disinfectant.
This one is made to a narrower king single width for bed platforms that are not the standard size, so check the frame before ordering. A client at high or very high risk, or one who cannot reposition at all, needs an alternating air mattress or a high risk foam surface instead of this. It is made by Forte Healthcare in Armidale, New South Wales.
Good to know
- This is a 980 mm wide king single made to suit narrower bed platforms; the standard king single is 1050 mm and other sizes from single to king are available to order
- Check the bed’s platform size and side rail height before ordering; a 150 mm mattress changes the effective rail height
- Wipe clean only; the cover is not machine washable
- Warranty 5 years foam core, 2 years cover
