Pressure care
The NEST® Cushion provides even pressure distribution across the buttocks for enhanced skin tissue health, matching and beating the properties of many foam products
Unique forces redistribution
The structure of the unique core materials dissipates shear forces away from skin tissues
Transfers made easier
The springiness of the NEST® Cushion core material makes it easier for the occupant to transfer off the cushion
Skin microclimate management
The breathability of the cover, and the large gaps in the NEST® Cushion core material means that heat and water vapour do not accumulate – rather, they are readily dissipated away from the body
Lightweight
The lightweight core of the NEST® Cushion means that it is easy to move it from one seat to another
Infection prevention
The plastic polymer in the NEST® Cushions core material has inherent microbiocidal properties which mean that bacteria are less likely to accumulate on the fibres and risk cross-infection
Machine washable
Both the cover and the core of the NEST® Cushion can be washed in a washing machine, and the core can be chemically or thermally disinfected at elevated temperatures. The open structure of the core material means that it dries quickly as well.
Reusable
The fact that the NEST® Cushion can be readily washed and decontaminated means that it can be safely used between patients and providing cost savings of not needing to dispose of the mattress after use
Weight limit
The user weight limit is 120 kg which makes the NEST® Cushion suitable for a whole range of sizes of patients
Recyclable
The core material of the NEST® Cushion at the end of life can be chopped into small pieces and recycled into new plastic materials, thereby avoiding the need to dispose of the cushion at end of life e.g. to landfill
Sustainability
The ability to reuse the NEST® Cushion between patients and for many years, as well as the recyclability of the core material means that the NEST® Cushion meets institutions’ sustainability targets
