How Can Redwood Help with Healthcare Mattress Design? 

Published 7th October 2026

There are lots of high-quality, standard medical mattresses on the market today, including Redwood’s own pressure-relieving Verituss range. But where do you look if you need something that is non-standard? Something that meets a very specific need for your clinic or care home, something that can deal with extremes not found elsewhere, or even something that raises the bar to a whole new level of quality and performance. Where do you turn for bespoke healthcare mattress design and manufacturing?

The Solution

Here at Redwood, you can turn to us, because we relish a challenge. We’re always ready to work with our customers to create bespoke designs that go above and beyond the run of the mill. Let’s take a look at the many ways Redwood can help with healthcare mattress design…

What You Need From Your Healthcare Mattresses

Standard or bespoke, every medical mattress must deliver on a range of core demands, including:

• Infection control

• Fluid resistance

• Durability

• Comfort

• Support

• Fire resistance

• Hygiene

These features are the very least you need from your healthcare mattresses, and you can always count on Redwood mattresses to deliver. But sometimes you need more…

Why Would You Need a Bespoke Healthcare Mattress?

While standard medical mattresses are designed to suit a wide range of users, there are occasions where your specification needs to go a little further and deliver a little more. For example, you might need:

• Specific sizes to fit non-standard beds

• Larger / stronger mattresses to accommodate obese and morbidly obese patients

• Specialist support for unique pressure control or musculo-skeletal needs

• Stringent infection control for the most at-risk patients

• Enhanced fire protection for mental health units and prisons

Whatever your specific challenge, Redwood are the team to turn to.
