The Apollo II pump automatically detects which compatible dynamic surface has been connected and will adjust the pressure setting accordingly. Heavyweight Sleepers– Heavy side sleepers may want to consider a firmer bed because memory foam in the Apollo mattress is likely too soft to keep the body aligned. Automatic Pressure Control System monitors and adjusts the mattress pressure to maintain pressures at the set level. Though the softness of the Apollo could be great for side sleepers, it’s probably not going to work for stomach sleepers. These folks prefer firmer structures that help lift the hips in alignment with the shoulders.

The Wired Floor+ Alertamatcan be connectedto a nurse call system with a 3 metre cable provided for centralised activation, or used on its own, independent of a nurse call system to give localised alerts through the Alerta Alarm Monitor (sold separately). The mattress includes 20 cells consisting of 3 static head cells and 17 alternating cells. Individual cell's 'air on air' construction reduces the risk of 'bottoming out' as the lower section of each cell remains inflated to provide a supportive base. The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear from use, a normal softness increase that is usually present as mattresses age, or any body indentations of less than 1″ during the first 10 years of use. If your mattress doesn’t work for you because of health concerns or comfort preferences, you should try to return it within the sleep trial period. The warranty will not cover these issues, either. Hip Pain– Those with shoulder pain usually focus on softer mattresses, but even a medium firm can help relieve the pain. The Apollo mattress has that mid-range firmness to keep the body aligned, but its memory foam layers offer a cradle that helps relieve pain in the hip area. However, side sleepers with hip pain may want a softer bed. If you’re in the market for a memory foam mattress that sleeps cool, the Apollo could be a fantastic fit. Not only does it feature all the great sinkage, body-contouring, and pressure relief of the popular material, but it does so without overheating at night.

Brand Snapshot

Average Weight Sleepers– Average-weight stomach sleepers may sink too deeply into the comfort layers, especially if they weigh closer to 230 pounds. The Apollo Mattress presents a unique construction. This mattress uses layers of coils, high-density support foam, and more to provide a unique feel that is suitable for most sleepers. There’s also not a lot of bounce to this bed, so combo sleepers in need of high mobility may want to look elsewhere. And finally, I think this mattress could work well for couples, thanks in large part to its superb ability to absorb and isolate motion. Max Inflate Mode automatically inflates all cells to the maximum pressure setting for 20 minutes. This can be beneficial when moving or repositioning a patient.

Now that we’ve discussed the Apollo’s firmness, let’s test it out for two more attributes: Pressure Relief and Motion Transfer. Pressure Relief Cushioning – True memory foam mattresses like Apollo aren’t meant to be firm and unyielding. Rather, as you lie on the bed, the mattress cradles and contours to your body. This sensation immediately relaxes and releases pent-up pressure across your body. This kind of surface is ideal for anyone who sleeps on their side, especially if you are prone to developing pinching pressure points or numbness in your arms or shoulders. The mattress cover can be wipe down or completely removed and laundered up to 95°C to aid decontamination protocols Featuring 20 'figure of 8' cells it is specially designed for users who are at a Very High Risk of developing pressure ulcers it is also suitable for those that have existing tissue damage (pressure ulcer grade 1 to 4). The static mode offers a stable surface to allow for extremely safe patient transfers and handling.

To get more specific about what the Apollo has to offer, let’s chat about its unique construction! The Apollo Mattress in the Sleepopolis bedroom What is the Apollo Mattress Made Of? Humidity management to help prevent tissue breakdown and skin maceration through the spacer technology Fourth layer: 1 inch of high-density support foam. This is the first of two similar base layers that Apollo uses to provide consistent support across the bed. This limits sinkage to the ideal depth – enough to accommodate the needs of side sleepers and curvier body types, but not so much that it puts a strain on muscles or affects proper spinal alignment. Foam density: 1.8 lbs/ft 3. CLP - Constant Low Pressure providing immersion therapy support surface below capillary closure providing increased comfort

Comfort – Below the cooling cover, you’ll land on a comfort layer of copper-infused memory foam. This material has a slow response to pressure, allowing the sleeper to sink in for satisfying relief at the shoulders and hips. It’s also infused with cooling copper, which should help to absorb and dissipate body heat as you sink further into the mattress. Copper is also anti-microbial, so works to create an all-around healthier sleep environment. Above its robust base layers, Apollo has one inch of micro-coils that extend entirely across the mattress. Because they aren’t walled off with long sections of rigid foam as they are in most other hybrid mattresses, this central layer allows for the easy passage of air. This creates a central breezeway that regulates temperature and keeps the mattress cool. The compression of the coils acting together with the four inches of premium memory foam above result in more overall compression than a more rigid mattress, resulting in a lower overall edge support rating. However, this is a natural result of the cushioning memory foam effect many sleepers absolutely love, and nothing to be off-put by. Dynamic therapy for alternating action for lower interface pressures and gentle capillary stimulation Nothing does pressure relief as well as memory foam, so it’s no surprise this bed is a great option for those with pressure buildup. Pressure tends to build up in the hips, shoulders, and knees, depending on your preferred sleeping position. The Apollo mattress does a good job of alleviating the pressure by cushioning these areas, offering a gentle contour to a deep hug, depending on your body weight. As with any feel factor, firmness is subjective, and can change a lot depending on one’s body size, shape, and weight. So, my read of this bed’s firmness could differ from your own. For reference, I’m about 5’10”, 190 pounds. and prefer to sleep on my stomach. The Apollo has a slightly softer feelAfter rolling around on this bed, I decided to give it a 6/10 on the firmness scale. When compared to the industry standard of 6.5 for medium firmness, it’s clear that this bed is definitely on the softer side. First layer: 2 inches of high-density CopperGel™ memory foam. This cushioning top layer is infused with two cooling agents – micro gel beads and antimicrobial copper. It contributes to the immediate pressure relief and slow body contouring you experience as you lie down on the mattress. Foam density: 3.6 lbs/ft 3.

A Transport Mode facility is achieved by sealing the connector on the umbilical cord with the transport cap. The Transport Mode can be used for up to 8 hours to ensure that the support surface provides pressure redistribution in power outages or when transportation is required. Average Weight Sleepers– Average-weight side sleepers should experience a deeper hug as the top memory foam layer allows more sinkage, especially for those closer to 230 pounds. Apollo is a single-firmness mattress made up of five layers of foam and steel coils. Each layer has unique qualities which combine to create the distinctive comfort and performance of the mattress: The comfort layer is two inches tall and is made of copper-infused memory foam. This layer has a slow response but offers a deep cradle for comfortable pressure relief in the hips and shoulders. Copper in this layer has a cooling effect as it dissipates body heat. In addition, it has antimicrobial properties.Audio and visual alarms to differentiate between low pressure, power failure and system failure errors
