Frequently Asked Questions About Gel Mattress
What types of medical mattresses are available?
+
Medical mattresses include foam (various densities), gel-infused foam, alternating pressure (air cells), low air loss, and hybrid designs. Selection depends on patient mobility, risk of pressure injuries, and comfort preferences.
Are medical mattresses covered by ADP?
+
Yes, therapeutic mattresses for pressure injury prevention are covered by ADP for eligible individuals. Coverage applies to mattresses meeting specific clinical criteria. Westin Healthcare can assess your needs and determine ADP eligibility.
When do I need an alternating pressure mattress?
+
Alternating pressure mattresses are recommended for patients who spend extended time in bed, have limited mobility, or are at high risk for pressure injuries. The alternating air cells continuously redistribute pressure to prevent skin breakdown.
What mattress works with a hospital bed?
+
Hospital beds use specific mattress sizes (typically 36x80 or 36x84 inches). Medical mattresses are designed for these dimensions and work with the bed's articulation. Westin Healthcare ensures proper sizing when you purchase a bed and mattress together.
How often should medical mattresses be replaced?
+
Foam mattresses typically last 3-5 years depending on use intensity. Alternating pressure mattresses last 5-7 years with proper maintenance. Signs of replacement need include visible sagging, loss of support, or worn cover material.
What is the ADP (Assistive Devices Program)?
+
The Assistive Devices Program is an Ontario government program that helps people with long-term physical disabilities pay for customized equipment. ADP covers up to 75% of the cost of approved devices like wheelchairs, scooters, hospital beds, and patient lifts.
Is Westin Healthcare an authorized ADP vendor?
