Published 28th October 2026
The importance of choosing the right healthcare mattress supplier cannot be underestimated. Your decision will have wide ranging impacts, from patient comfort to pressure care, from fire safety to infection control, from balancing your budget to managing your supply chain.
But with so many options available, how do you choose the right healthcare mattress supplier?
The Solution
Redwood is more than just a healthcare mattress supplier; we are your perfect partner every step of the way, from design right through to delivery. Let’s take a look at what sets Redwood apart as a healthcare mattress supplier, and how this benefits you and your patients at every turn…
Not Just a Supplier, but a Genuine Specialist
Redwood is not just a supplier; we’re a genuine specialist in our field. We’ve been creating technical textiles for decades, building an enviable reputation across the industry and in the healthcare sector. Today, we have developed our service to the point where we can create your healthcare mattresses from scratch, to your exact specifications, handling everything professionally and reliably from the drawing board right through to the ward.
We don’t work for our customers, we work with them. We’re always happy to share our experience and expertise to ensure you get exactly what you need, when you need it, at a price that works for you. From logistics to legal compliance, from fabric selection to finished mattresses, Redwood offers so much more than just supply; we give you complete support.
Not Just a Manufacturer, but an Expert Designer
At Redwood, we know that every customer is different and so we always provide a bespoke, personalised service from our team. Some customers simply need a manufacturer to produce their established designs, while others need their ideas designed and developed ready for production. Some are happy to trust our own healthcare mattress products, such as the Verituss range of pressure relief mattresses.
Redwood offers a flexible design and development service that will work with your team, whatever it is that you need, whatever stage your project is at. And once the specification is agreed, we have all the techniques and technology available, in-house, to bring those designs to life, from traditional sewing skills to state of the art HF and ultrasonic welding.
Unique Experience, Unrivalled Innovation
Lancashire has a long history of textile manufacturing, and Redwood is proud to be part of that tradition. We have experience stretching back over 30years, giving us a unique perspective on both our industry and your needs.
But we’re certainly not stuck in our ways. Our team are constantly coming up with innovative fabrics, ground-breaking designs and new manufacturing techniques to take your healthcare mattresses to the next level.
A Local Supplier With Global Reach
While there can be cost savings in using overseas manufacturers, there can also be complications and delays. Redwood is UK based, right on the motorway network, providing prompt, reliable supplies nationwide. We’re experts in supply chain management, and we can even arrange just-in-time deliveries, giving you complete control and convenience while cutting the cost of storage on site.
While we are proud to be a British manufacturer, Redwood is also part of a global network of fabric suppliers, with partners around the world, giving you a world of choice from a local supplier.
More Than Just Mattresses
As you can see, choosing the right healthcare mattress supplier is about so much more than just mattresses. It’s about experience and expertise, understanding and support, capacity and capability.
Redwood works hard to offer you all of this and so much more. So why just settle for a healthcare mattress supplier, when you can have a true partner on your team?
