“…In addition, a systematic review by McInnes et al 11 found that the effects of diverse types of support surfaces on preventing PIs are still unclear. However, Bae and Ko, 23 who compared latex, foam, and air mattresses, reported that air mattresses were the most effective for preventing PI development. Accordingly, recommendations for the best type of mattress for preventing PIs are not yet clearly defined.…”

“…21 The range of possible scores for each subscale is from 1 to 4. The total score can range from 6 to 23; lower scores indicate greater risk of PI, and based on the cutoff scores, patients are classified into five levels of PI risk: very high risk (score 9 or below), high risk (10)(11)(12), moderate risk (13)(14), mild risk (15)(16)(17)(18), and no risk (19)(20)(21)(22)(23). In this study, total scores of 15 to 23 and 13 to 14 were regarded as low and moderate risk of PI development, respectively.…”

OBJECTIVE To compare pressure injury (PI) incidence based on repositioning intervals and support surfaces in acute care settings. METHODS This pragmatic, quasi-experimental trial recruited a total of 251 critically ill patients who were at low or moderate risk for PI development. Participants were assigned to three interventions: a 2-hour repositioning interval using an air mattress, a 2-hour repositioning interval using a foam mattress, or a 3-hour repositioning interval using a foam mattress. Data were collected by nurses every shift over the course of 14 days. Pressure injury incidence was analyzed using a χ 2 test. RESULTS There were no statistically significant differences in PI incidence between the groups with a 2-hour repositioning interval. However, the PI incidence in the group using a foam mattress with a 3-hour repositioning interval was significantly lower than in the group using an air mattress with a 2-hour repositioning interval (odds ratio, 0.481; 95% confidence interval, 0.410–0.565). CONCLUSIONS The findings showed that PIs decreased when the repositioning interval was extended from every 2 hours to every 3 hours while using foam mattresses. This study suggests that a 3-hour repositioning interval using a foam mattress could be applied to reduce the risk of PI development for patients at low or moderate risk.

Objectives: This study compared the body contact pressure profiles of 2 types of mattresses: latex and polyurethane. Methods: Twenty participants were required to lie down on the different mattresses in 3 different postures for 6 minutes, and their body contact pressure profiles were recorded with a pressure mat sensor. Results: The data indicated that the latex mattress was able to reduce the peak body pressure on the torso and buttocks and achieve a higher proportion of low-pressure regions compared with the polyurethane mattress. Conclusions: Latex mattress reduced peak body pressure and achieved a more even distribution of pressure compared with polyurethane mattress across different sleeping postures.
