Abstract

In this study, three mattresses were evaluated to assess their effectiveness in relation to the pain and discomfort experienced by 40 patients with neurological disorders who had Waterlow scores > or = 15 and required pressure support. The results indicate that one mattress (the Quattro DC2000) performed significantly better than the other two (Nimbus II and Pegasus Airwave).
