PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT
Generally, a lighter patient will need a lower (softer) setting while a heavier patient will need a higher (firmer) setting, but pressure adjustment must ultimately be based on the patient's weight distribution. A short, stocky person may be the same weight as a tall, thin person, but their settings will not be the same. The mattress should be firm enough to support the patient, yet soft enough so the patient will sink down to eliminate pressure points. Test the pressure by placing four fingers below the mattress
