Product Description
Selene High Risk Static Castellated Foam Pressure Relief Mattress
The Selene High Risk Static Castellated Foam Pressure Relief Mattress is a premium hospital-grade support surface designed for patients who require dependable pressure redistribution in healthcare, care home and homecare environments. It is particularly suited to users at high risk of developing pressure ulcers, including those with reduced mobility, long-term care needs or extended periods in bed.
Constructed from high-resilience castellated foam, the Selene mattress is designed to adapt to the user’s body shape and movement while helping to distribute pressure more evenly across vulnerable areas. Supplied with a waterproof, vapour-permeable PU stretch cover, it supports both patient comfort and practical infection prevention routines.

How It Works
The Selene mattress uses high-resilience castellated foam to help redistribute the user’s body weight across the mattress surface. The castellated cut design allows the foam to flex and contour around the body, helping to reduce localised pressure on vulnerable areas such as the heels, sacrum, hips and shoulders.
As a static foam mattress, Selene provides continuous pressure redistribution without the need for a pump or powered alternating system. This makes it a quiet, low-maintenance choice for care environments where a reliable high-risk pressure care surface is required.

Clinical Use and Risk Assessment
Pressure care should always be guided by an individual patient risk assessment and local clinical protocol. Mattress selection should consider the person’s mobility, skin condition, continence, nutritional status, tissue viability risk, comfort, repositioning needs and any existing wounds or pressure damage.
The Selene mattress is intended to support pressure redistribution as part of a broader care plan. It should be used alongside appropriate repositioning, skin inspection, nutrition and hydration support, continence care and escalation to a healthcare professional where skin deterioration is identified.
Contraindications & Warnings
- This mattress should not replace clinical assessment, tissue viability review or pressure ulcer prevention planning.
- Users with existing pressure ulcers, rapidly deteriorating skin or complex clinical needs should be managed according to professional advice and local protocols.
- Always check that the mattress is suitable for the bed frame, side rails and patient weight before use.
- Ensure the mattress is positioned correctly and that the non-slip base is in contact with the bed platform.
- Do not exceed the stated maximum user weight.
- Do not use if the cover is torn, punctured or no longer provides a fluid-resistant barrier.
- Regular skin checks remain essential, especially for users with reduced sensation, impaired mobility or continence needs.
