Thermoregulating Mattress Topper

The Thermoregulating Mattress Topper is designed for people who may not be able to control their body temperature when sleeping. This may be due to a number of reasons that may include:

• Reaction to medication
• Menopause
• A physical disability that prevents someone from removing the bed blankets
• A personal condition such as a form of hyperhidrosis, etc.
• Some people who are undergoing cancer treatment such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy may benefit from the cooling material.

Key Features

About the Thermoregulating (TR) Material: TR Material contains micro-encapsulated Phase Change Materials (PCMs), and was first developed to help astronauts maintain their body temperature. It allows heat from the body to escape, or if the body is getting cold, it traps the warmth.

To Fit: Place the Mattress Topper on the mattress. The four elastic corner straps are long enough to fit very deep mattresses. Fit the elastic straps under the corners of the mattress and adjust the elastic using the buckle to make a secure fit. Do not over tighten the elastic straps so the elastic will be able to expand when the person gets into bed.

Additional Information

When fitting, be aware that the TR Mattress Topper material does not have any stretch properties, so the material may crease up under the patient. The benefit of stopping perspiration may be more beneficial for the patient without compromising pressure care. After using, as normal good nursing practice, the patient's skin integrity should always be checked.

Warnings: As the reason why people perspire can vary a lot, we cannot guarantee the TR Material will work for everyone. We are unable to accept the items back for credit if they do not work, because of cross infection.

Highly Flammable Material: Keep away from flames, cigarettes, etc. Store in a cool, dry place away from any potential sources of ignition.

The Thermoregulating material is a delicate material that wears out more quickly than other materials. See the Important Information tab for more information.

Cleaning

Important

General Warning: Be aware that this item may mask the effects if someone does get an infection. Always check with a medical therapist that this item will be suitable.

Material Warning: The Thermoregulating material is a delicate material that wears out more quickly than other materials. The wear can be due to normal use, as well as the washing process. The material can stretch and distort, so the material opens between the rows of the Thermoregulating cells. This looks ugly and will increase in size over time. Despite the damage, the Thermoregulating qualities should still help people control their temperature. To help prevent this damage, always use a large washing bag, such as the Pelican Washing Bag, when washing the product. The washing bag is designed to help protect the material from getting damaged with other items in the washing machine, and from being directly next to the drum and agitators in the machine. Remember that except for the Thermoregulating Slippers, the material should never be directly next to the person's body when in use. The person should never lie directly on or under the Thermoregulating Material, as this can damage the material.

Warranty: All Thermoregulating products have a 3 month repair or replacement warranty, providing the product is washed in a washing bag.
