Furncare mattresses are manufactured with care and the type of use in mind. That means waterproof, wipeable covers as standard, reinforced borders for safer transfers, and fillings that maintain their support under frequent, long-term use. So, whether you're furnishing a single room or an entire facility, our 12-mattress range gives you the flexibility to select the right specification for every situation.

Matching the Mattress to the Bed & the Resident

Not every resident has the same needs, and not every bed takes the same mattress. Our range is designed to accommodate this.

Divan & Platform Beds

For standard divan or platform-top beds, our foam and reflex foam mattresses provide a firm, even sleeping surface ideal for mobile residents or those requiring basic pressure relief. These are well-suited to general residential care and supported living.

Profiling & Adjustable Beds

Residents using electrically adjustable or profiling beds require a mattress that flexes without losing integrity. Our range includes options specifically compatible with profiling frames, using layered or segmented foam constructions that move with the bed while maintaining postural support.

Pressure Care & High-Dependency Residents

For residents at risk of pressure ulcers or spending extended periods in bed, our specialist pressure-relieving mattresses offer enhanced support. Featuring high-density or visco-elastic memory foam layers, these mattresses help redistribute body weight, reduce peak pressure points, and support skin integrity, a vital consideration in dementia care, palliative care, and post-operative recovery.

Invest in Resident Wellbeing

A quality care mattress protects residents, reduces the risk of pressure damage, and contributes to better sleep. Investing in mattresses that reduce pressure sores can mean that the demands on staffing are reduced and therefore staff costs too, all of which directly impacts health outcomes and quality of life. Browse our full collection of 12 care mattresses and find the right fit for every bed, every room, and every resident.

Mattress FAQs

What is the difference between a standard mattress and a care home mattress?

Care home mattresses are purpose-built for demanding, long-term use. Unlike domestic mattresses, they feature fluid-resistant covers for infection control, higher-density foams that retain support under daily use, and reinforced borders to aid resident transfers. They are also designed to meet care environment standards around hygiene and safety, making them unsuitable to swap with standard domestic alternatives.

How often should mattresses be replaced in a care home?

Care home mattresses typically require replacement every 5–7 years, though this varies based on usage, resident weight, and the mattress specification. Signs that a mattress needs replacing include visible sagging, cover deterioration, or reduced pressure relief. Investing in a quality care-grade mattress from the outset extends lifespan and protects residents more effectively.

What type of mattress is best for a care home?

The best care home mattress depends on resident needs, but look for one with a waterproof, wipeable cover, a supportive foam or reflex foam core, and reinforced edges to assist with safe transfers. For residents at higher risk of pressure ulcers, a pressure-relieving or memory foam mattress is recommended. Furncare offers 12 care-specific mattresses across varying specification levels to suit different care settings.

Are care home mattresses compatible with profiling beds?

Not all mattresses are suitable for profiling or adjustable beds. For electrically adjustable frames, you need a mattress designed to flex without losing its structural integrity — typically using segmented or layered foam. Furncare's range includes mattresses specifically compatible with profiling beds, ensuring both comfort and postural support as the frame adjusts.
