AreaCare Underlay Features

The AreaCare Underlay is designed to provide ‘bottoming out’ protection for alternating pressure overlays, while still minimising the height of the overall support system on the bed. Constructed from medium density longwearing foam, the underlay fits underneath an alternating pressure mattress system for added protection and support in the event of a system failure.
