Which Healthcare Mattress Do I Need?
Published 20th August 2025
Redwood is the expert when it comes to healthcare mattresses, so whatever mattress you need, whatever the clinical demands of your hospital clinic or care home, you can trust us to help.
Redwood can help if you know exactly what you want, and you’re simply looking for a reliable, professional manufacturer. We can also help if you’re starting from scratch, looking to design a bespoke mattress to meet your precise specifications.
There’s a vast selection of healthcare mattresses to choose from at Redwood, so let’s take a look at some of your options.
Healthcare mattresses for pressure management
One of the biggest challenges for healthcare teams is helping patients to avoid pressure related ulcers, often referred to as bedsores. These are common problems for the elderly, who have fragile skin, but they can also affect anyone who is bedbound by their condition for long periods, especially if they have restricted movement.
Redwood’s Verituss range of pressure relief mattresses covers three levels of care, from the VMS100 range for low-risk patients, through the VMS200 range for increased relief, to the top of the range VMS300 offering maximum pressure redistribution for those at the highest risk.
Healthcare mattresses for infection control
With hospital acquired infections on the increase, costing the NHS and private healthcare providers millions of pounds, infection control has never been a more important feature of healthcare mattress design. Here at Redwood, we have developed a range of state-of-the-art technical fabrics designed to fight HAIs. These fabrics, such as our cutting-edge Xtreme fabric, come with built-in antimicrobial properties, and are designed to withstand even the most vigorous cleaning regimes.
To complement these fabrics, we offer a complete mattress manufacturing service, including high frequency and ultrasonic welding. This means we can create healthcare mattresses that resist moisture ingress and significantly reduce the risks from harmful bacteria and viruses that are often found in stitched seams.
Healthcare mattresses for your own brand
While Redwood is proud of our industry leading range of healthcare mattresses, we’re equally happy to keep that pride to ourselves. Our white label range means you can commission high quality healthcare mattresses and have them supplied as ‘white label’ products that you can distribute under your own brand.
We’ve invested heavily in the latest healthcare mattress manufacturing equipment, so you don’t have to. What’s more, our economies of scale mean that we can often produce your healthcare mattresses for less than you could make them yourself.
Bespoke healthcare mattresses
Our comprehensive range of healthcare mattresses is trusted by some of the leading medical brands and can be found in many of the country’s top hospitals and clinics. But we also know that sometimes you need something a little different. That’s why we have our own talented design, development and quality compliance team working in house to help you create exactly the healthcare mattresses you need, without compromise.
This team loves a challenge, and they’re happy to work with you as much or as little as you need to finalise your designs, your materials and your manufacturing schedule to meet your requirements completely.
So, which healthcare mattress DO you need?
As you can see, there’s a wide range of healthcare mattresses available from Redwood, to meet a wide range of medical demands.
