Apollo 18cm Memory Foam Mattress - 4ft6 Double

Product Information

A Transport Mode facility is achieved by sealing the connector on the umbilical cord with the transport cap. The Transport Mode can be used for up to 8 hours to ensure that the support surface provides pressure redistribution in power outages or when transportation is required. There’s also not a lot of bounce to this bed, so combo sleepers in need of high mobility may want to look elsewhere.

Max Inflate Mode automatically inflates all cells to the maximum pressure setting for 20 minutes. This can be beneficial when moving or repositioning a patient. An anti-fungal agent is encapsulated in the covers to help control microbial deterioration. They feature a white inner substrate to assist in identifying signs of cover damage and strike-through. Additionally, the Apollo II mattress bottom cover includes a cable management system to safely route the power cable and reduce the risk of a trip hazard. Apollo is a single-firmness mattress made up of five layers of foam and steel coils. Each layer has unique qualities which combine to create the distinctive comfort and performance of the mattress: The Apollo II pump automatically detects which compatible dynamic surface has been connected and will adjust the pressure setting accordingly. After rolling around on this bed, I decided to give it a 6/10 on the firmness scale. When compared to the industry standard of 6.5 for medium firmness, it’s clear that this bed is definitely on the softer side.

Motion Isolation

The Wired Floor+ Alertamatcan be connectedto a nurse call system with a 3 metre cable provided for centralised activation, or used on its own, independent of a nurse call system to give localised alerts through the Alerta Alarm Monitor (sold separately). CLP - Constant Low Pressure providing immersion therapy support surface below capillary closure providing increased comfort Apollo offers a 15-year warranty on each mattress. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship or manufacturing. The warranty is very particular about which types of defects are covered. Your warranty may be void if the mattress has spills, stains, cuts, or tears on the cover or the foam inside. If you use the Apollo mattress without a compatible frame, it can also void the warranty.

Average Weight Sleepers– Average-weight stomach sleepers may sink too deeply into the comfort layers, especially if they weigh closer to 230 pounds. Humidity management to help prevent tissue breakdown and skin maceration through the spacer technology The Apollo Mattress presents a unique construction. This mattress uses layers of coils, high-density support foam, and more to provide a unique feel that is suitable for most sleepers. Basically, it works like this: I roll out the device, hop aboard, and let the map do the rest. As I roll around, the map records how much force I’m exerting on the mattress, creating a colored “map” of the pressure. For reference, blue indicates areas of low pressure and red indicates areas of high pressure. I was impressed with the Apollo’s ability to relieve pressure Contour – Up next, you’ll find yet another layer of memory foam. This material has a similar feel to the one above it, but has swapped out the copper infusion for an open-cell design, which helps to promote extra airflow throughout the bed. I think folks who have traditionally avoided memory foam because of its tendency to trap heat could find a lot to love in these cooling layers!Automatic Pressure Control System monitors and adjusts the mattress pressure to maintain pressures at the set level. Hip Pain– Those with shoulder pain usually focus on softer mattresses, but even a medium firm can help relieve the pain. The Apollo mattress has that mid-range firmness to keep the body aligned, but its memory foam layers offer a cradle that helps relieve pain in the hip area. However, side sleepers with hip pain may want a softer bed.

Cushioning – True memory foam mattresses like Apollo aren’t meant to be firm and unyielding. Rather, as you lie on the bed, the mattress cradles and contours to your body. This sensation immediately relaxes and releases pent-up pressure across your body. This kind of surface is ideal for anyone who sleeps on their side, especially if you are prone to developing pinching pressure points or numbness in your arms or shoulders. Though the softness of the Apollo could be great for side sleepers, it’s probably not going to work for stomach sleepers. These folks prefer firmer structures that help lift the hips in alignment with the shoulders.The mattress includes 20 cells consisting of 3 static head cells and 17 alternating cells. Individual cell's 'air on air' construction reduces the risk of 'bottoming out' as the lower section of each cell remains inflated to provide a supportive base. The comfort layer is two inches tall and is made of copper-infused memory foam. This layer has a slow response but offers a deep cradle for comfortable pressure relief in the hips and shoulders. Copper in this layer has a cooling effect as it dissipates body heat. In addition, it has antimicrobial properties. This Apollo 8 Airflow Mattress is a highly versatile mattress that can be used as both a static and dynamic mattress. Audio and visual alarms to differentiate between low pressure, power failure and system failure errors

Welded vapour permeable multi stretch PU cover to prevent fluid ingress and internal mattress contamination The support layer is an inch of micro-coils added for a bit of a bounce. This also adds some support as the coils have more resilience than the upper layers. Additionally, this is to prevent the upper layers from sagging and your body from sinking too deeply.The transition layer is also made of memory foam. Although it has a similar feel as the comfort layer, there are gel infusions instead of copper. The open-cell design promotes airflow to prevent the bed from overheating.
