Anti-Pressure Mattress Overlay (Double Bed 200 x 137 x 9 cm)
- Double Bed Castellated Foam Overlay - the 200x137x9cm double bed version provides the same high-specification castellated foam pressure redistribution as the single bed version (NCL-PFS) across the wider double bed format; appropriate for homecare settings or care homes where a double bed is in use and pressure redistribution overlay coverage is required across the full double bed surface.
- Wipe-Clean Vapour-Permeable Modular Cover - wipe-clean vapour-permeable removable cover with zip closure; the modular design allows the cover to be cleaned or replaced independently of the foam pad; the double bed dimensions (200x137cm) provide full coverage of the double sleeping surface, ensuring the castellated foam overlay is effective across the complete occupied area of the bed.
- Homecare and Residential Double Bed Use - the double bed overlay is particularly relevant for homecare settings where the resident uses a double bed and where procurement of a purpose-built pressure care mattress in a double format is not practical; the overlay converts the existing double bed mattress into a pressure-redistributing sleep surface per NICE CG179 guidance.
- NICE CG179 and Clinical Assessment - the tissue viability nurse or responsible clinician should assess whether the overlay plus standard mattress achieves adequate pressure redistribution for the individual resident's risk level before specifying; the single bed version is NCL-PFS (190x87x9cm); MDR 2017/745 applies as for all pressure-redistributing mattress overlays.
Anti-Pressure Mattress Overlay - Double Bed - 200x137x9cm - Castellated Foam
The Anti-Pressure Mattress Overlay (Double Bed, NCL-PFD) provides castellated foam pressure redistribution for double bed configurations in homecare and residential settings. 200x137x9cm; wipe-clean vapour-permeable removable cover; modular foam pad and cover options. Single bed version is NCL-PFS (190x87x9cm). NICE CG179 indicated.

Regulatory Compliance
The same NICE CG179 pressure ulcer prevention rationale, MDR 2017/745 medical device classification, and tissue viability risk assessment requirements applicable to the single bed version (NCL-PFS) apply to the double bed version. For double bed users, the tissue viability nurse should confirm the castellated overlay provides adequate pressure redistribution across the full double bed width for the individual resident's risk level. The wider double bed format means the resident may occupy any position across the width; the full 137cm coverage ensures pressure redistribution is available across the complete sleeping surface.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should the double bed overlay be specified rather than a single bed version?
The double bed overlay (NCL-PFD) should be specified when the resident at pressure ulcer risk uses a double or king-size bed in their home or care setting, rather than a single profiling bed. Homecare residents often use their own double beds, and a single bed overlay would only cover part of the sleeping surface. The full 200x137cm coverage of the double overlay ensures pressure redistribution is available regardless of where the resident sleeps on the double bed width. Where the resident will be using a single care home profiling bed, the 190x87cm single version (NCL-PFS) is the appropriate specification.
Is the double overlay suitable for bariatric residents?
The suitability of the anti-pressure overlay for bariatric residents depends on the individual resident's weight, the underlying mattress's support capacity, and the tissue viability risk assessment findings. The overlay is a 9cm castellated foam pad added to an existing mattress; for bariatric residents where the underlying mattress must provide structural support for higher body weights, a purpose-specified bariatric pressure care mattress such as the Optimise Support (NCL-OPS) may be more appropriate than an overlay on a standard mattress. The tissue viability nurse and bariatric care specialist should advise on the appropriate pressure care specification for heavier residents.
