The Hampton II Active Mattress in 1050mm width provides the same 20-cell nylon-TPU alternating pressure system as the standard 900mm variant in a wider format for residents requiring greater lateral space. At 2000 x 1050 x 200mm, it accommodates wider bed frames and residents whose sleeping position or body habitus requires a broader sleeping surface. Clinical performance is identical to the 900mm variant; the width difference accommodates frame requirements rather than altering pressure redistribution mechanics. Transport cap retains air for 24 hours; CPR valve provides emergency deflation. Standard 900mm version available as NCL-HAMHAMP005.

The Hampton II 1050mm Active Mattress is a Class IIa active medical device under Medical Devices Regulation 2017/745. Clinical selection requires validated pressure risk assessment per NICE CG179 confirming very high-risk status. SWL is pump-dependent and must be verified against the resident's documented weight before deployment under MHOR 1992. The wider format must be confirmed compatible with the bed frame dimensions before procurement. The Crib 5 welded PU cover meets BS 5852 fire safety requirements. Equipment register records, SWL verification, and MDR conformity documentation must be maintained for CQC Regulation 12 compliance.
Is the 1050mm Hampton II clinically different from the 900mm, or is the only difference the mattress width?
The clinical pressure redistribution performance of the 1050mm Hampton II is identical to the 900mm variant: the same 20-cell nylon-TPU alternating system, the same static pillow section, and the same alternating cycle mechanics are used across both widths. The additional 150mm of width does not add cells or alter the pressure relief profile of the existing cells; it provides a wider sleeping surface at the same cell density as the 900mm version. The clinical reason to select the 1050mm variant is therefore not pressure redistribution performance but bed geometry: the wider mattress is required when the bed frame is 1050mm wide, or when the resident's sleeping position, nightwear, or body width means that 900mm does not provide adequate lateral clearance to the rail junction. The prescribing clinician should confirm the bed frame dimensions and the resident's lateral space requirements before selecting between the two variants.
Does the wider mattress require a different pump, and does it affect the maximum SWL?
No. The wider format of the 1050mm Hampton II does not require a different pump and does not change the maximum SWL ceiling for any given pump. Both the 900mm and 1050mm variants are compatible with the full Harvest Healthcare pump range, and the SWL for each pump applies equally to both mattress widths. The pump selection decision is based solely on the resident's documented weight and the SWL of each pump model, not on the mattress width. The wider mattress distributes the resident's weight across a marginally larger cell surface area, but the pressure redistribution mechanics and pump requirements are determined by the alternating cell system rather than the mattress width.
