The Care Direct Essential is a reliable, firm-support pressure care mattress designed for use across care homes, nursing homes, and residential care settings.
Made from a single piece of high-resilience CMHR foam, the Essential supports patients weighing up to 25 stones (160 kg). The foam can be reversed top-to-bottom and flipped to extend the interior lifespan, making it an excellent value choice for budget-conscious procurement teams.
The hospital-specification multi-stretch polyurethane cover (255 GSM) is removable, washable, and screen-printed with cleaning instructions. Welded seams prevent fluid ingress, while the Sanitized Clariant Benelux fabric treatment delivers ongoing antimicrobial protection. The cover is chlorine-resistant to 1,000 ppm/0.1% and vapour-permeable for patient comfort.
Certified to Crib 5 (BS7177:2008), OEKO-TEX Class 1, and produced as a Carbon Neutral product. X-ray translucent cover included as standard. Backed by a 2-year warranty.
Ideal for healthcare buyers seeking a dependable, clinically approved mattress that meets infection control requirements without exceeding budget.
