We offer free mattress audits to help you ensure your equipment meets the highest standards for hygiene, comfort, and pressure relief. During an audit, we examine both the cover and the foam core to detect signs of wear and tear, impaired function, or hygiene risks.

Drawing on our extensive experience in conducting mattress audits, we know how vital this measure is to ensure that mattresses provide the necessary support and protection. It is not uncommon for a seemingly clean mattress to conceal bacteria and mould, posing serious hygiene risks. By carrying out thorough audits, healthcare providers can identify and address these issues before they compromise patient safety.

Regular assessments of mattress condition play a vital role in pressure ulcer prevention and provide a solid basis for planning procurement and interventions. Results from previous audits show that a significant number of mattresses fail to meet the required standards for a safe care environment.

During our audits, we assess the condition of the mattress based on factors such as surface damage, discolouration, contamination, age, and wear. We inspect your mattresses with a focus on:

✅ Hygiene risk: Mould, bacteria and contamination.
✅ Wear and tear: Damage to foam core and cover.
✅ Functionality: Does the mattress meet pressure relief requirements?
✅ Lifespan: Is it still safe to use?
Following the audit, you will receive a summary report featuring recommendations and proposed actions, making it easier to maintain a safe and secure care environment for both patients and staff.dit, you will receive a summary with recommendations and proposed actions, to facilitate the work of creating a safe and secure care environment.
