Measuring interface pressures in mattresses.

This evaluation compared the pressure support qualities of three mattresses by measuring the interface pressures using 20 subjects. The results indicate that the Pegasus Airwave mattress had significantly higher readings than Quattro DC2000 (p = 0.021, 95% confidence level) and the Nimbus II (p = 0.009, 99% confidence level) but that there is no significant difference between interface pressures for the Quattro DC2000 and the Nimbus II.

Evaluating pressure-relieving mattresses.

In this study, three mattresses were evaluated to assess their effectiveness in relation to the pain and discomfort experienced by 40 patients with neurological disorders who had Waterlow scores > or = 15 and required pressure support. The results indicate that one mattress (the Quattro DC2000) performed significantly better than the other two (Nimbus II and Pegasus Airwave).
