A foam mattress is the starting point for most bed setups, and for a client with no particular pressure injury risk it is often all that is needed. This Staebel foam mattress is a single size slab mattress sized to fit a standard king single care bed frame.
Foam keeps things simple: nothing to plug in, nothing to pump, nothing to fail overnight. That suits home settings where a carer or family member is managing the bed, and it keeps the bed quiet for sleep.
If your client’s pressure risk changes, the mattress choice should be reviewed with an occupational therapist.
