Mattresses and

side rails
When choosing bed and mattress combinations, it is
important to consider the use of side rails based on
clinical assessment of each individual patient and in line
with local policy.
When assessing the suitability of a mattress for use with
side rails, the following factors should be considered:
 The bed is designed to provide an acceptable side rail
height when used with a foam mattress up to 18cm
thick.
 Specialist powered air / foam replacement mattresses
will typically envelop the patient when loaded and can
generally be deeper than a foam mattress without
compromising safety. Other makes of specialist
mattress replacement must be assessed individually
prior to use to verify sufficient clearance is
maintained.
 Mattress overlays are not recommended for use with
this bed.
 To ensure compliance with EN 60601-2-52:2010, an
approved ArjoHuntleigh mattress should be used.
Compliance with this standard when using other
mattresses must be validated by the user.
 For more information on suitable mattresses and
mattress replacements, contact your local
ArjoHuntleigh office or approved distributor. A list of
ArjoHuntleigh offices can be found at the back of this
manual.
