About the Mattress Replacement Guide
Hospital mattresses can become invisible reservoirs for infection—especially in neonatal settings where patients are most vulnerable. The Mattress Replacement Guide was created to help hospital staff quickly identify when it may be time to replace an infant mattress to support cleaner, safer care.
This one-page visual guide includes:
- Signs of wear, staining, and damage that could compromise hygiene
- Photos showing common forms of mattress deterioration
- Key considerations for mattress inspection and replacement
- A simple reference tool for use in any NICU or pediatric unit
