the castellated foam insert of the Softform Premier mattress. There is no requirement to move the patient,
thereby minimizing any discomfort. The cushion retains its properties as an at risk static cushion, but should
a patient require stepping up to a dynamic surface, then a discreet pump can be fitted to the air insert,
transferring the cushion into an alternating surface delivering additional levels of pressure relief.
