Pressure care,
made clearer.A different care environment deserves a different standard.
For hospice, nursing home and community teams, support surfaces should do more than simply protect. They should make care easier to live with.
OptiMat makes support surfaces fit non-acute care, not the other way round.
Every care environment creates pressure care differently.
The human need may be shared, but the realities are not. Hospice, nursing home and community are not shorter versions of acute hospital care. Each asks something different of care, routine and everyday use.
In non-acute settings, a support surface is not judged over days, but over years - as part of the lived experience of care.

Pressure care that has to fit practical realities of life at home.What made sense in hospital care travelled too far.
Acute-care active surface design logic made sense in its own setting. The problem is what happened next. It was copied, repeated and commoditised in non-acute care, where nursing homes and similar settings have been left buying around inherited assumptions rather than their own realities.
The result is often a support surface that may still function, but remains too broad and poorly tuned for the majority of users it is actually there to support, across hospice, nursing home and community-based care.
OptiMat moves beyond that.
It brings simpler decisions, less avoidable burden and greater confidence in the pressure care surfaces chosen to support care over time – support that fits the person, the place and the pathway.
Good pressure care surfaces come from clearer thinking, more purposeful design and shaped for the distinct realities of non-acute care.
The sector is ready for a more appropriate standard – one shaped around its own realities.
Nothing included without purpose.
Purpose-built for non-acute care environments, immix and immix-air surface technologies are included with restraint and shaped by experience – reducing doubt, lowering friction and supporting more dependable care in the settings where people live and receive support every day.
What the category keeps at the specialist edge should now improve everyday pressure care as standard – more settled support, more purposeful comfort, and less avoidable disturbance in long-term use.
immix and immix-air surface technologies take what the category once treated as exceptional and make it part of the everyday standard, for individuals considered at high-risk of pressure injury development.
Technology that earns its place in everyday pressure care.
Consistent support, shaped through material design
Forms the foundation.
immix reflects a clear understanding of the needs of care operators, caregivers and individuals they support – delivering reactive pressure care surfaces that sit quietly within a wider pressure prevention approach.
It is built on a simple belief: once the category knows better, the standard should rise. Welded seams and more thoughtful surface construction should not be premium extras in care homes. They should be part of the dependable everyday standard.
Thoughtful surface engineering.
immix-air brings more considered active support into nursing homes, hospice and community care.
Blending subtle but significant system design improvements around a refined narrow-cell support architecture, it illustrates safety, comfort and confident use over longer periods – not as a specialist exception, but as part of a better everyday standard.
Responsive support, adapted for non-acute care
A platform designed to make pressure care easier to understand.
The OptiMat Platform connects care environments, surface technologies and user needs into one clearer system. Built around pathways, environments and user need, it reflects a dedicated non-acute care surface logic. That clarity comes not from adding more products, but from removing what no longer needs to define the category – making pressure care surfaces easier to explain, easier to specify and easier to live with confidently over time.

For the care setting. For the caregiver. For the individual.
Because good pressure care has to work for everyone involved in care
Four Pathways. Clear roles. No unnecessary clutter.
A rationalised system that makes pressure care easier to understand and easier to choose. Not an overcomplicated tier of devices, but a clearer modern structure especially for non-acute care. Two everyday pathways optimised for the most common non-acute needs. One specialist pathway for higher-weight support. One simplified hybrid route for rapid escalation without interrupting care.
A modern reliable everyday active support for non-acute care.
View OptiMat Classic
The same everyday clinical purpose as Classic, but built for greater durability and longer service confidence.
View OptiMat Prime
Rapid escalation from foam to air, without patient interruption, helping streamline training, reduce equipment changes and support confident care delivery.
View OptiMat Hybrid
Specialist wider support for heavier-weight care needs, reflecting the same thoughtful engineering philosophy that guides every surface.
View OptiMat BariatricSame clinical logic. Different service and lifecycle priorities.
Classic and Prime are built around the same core pressure redistribution design principles. The difference is not clinical intent, but lifecycle fit.
Classic is the smarter choice when the priority is a dependable everyday standard with tighter initial outlay.
Prime is built for greater durability, easier decontamination and stronger long-term confidence in higher-demand settings, especially in community-based care.
Together, they create a clearer everyday pathway: supporting the same clinical purpose, with a more honest distinction between upfront affordability and long-term resilience.
For hospice, nursing homes and community teams who know the old standard no longer fits.
For too long, areas of non-acute care have been asked to buy around assumptions inherited from elsewhere – shaped by acute-care metrics, familiar habits and supply convenience rather than better everyday fit.
Mainstream active surfaces should not still be organised around a compromise from a different environment. These tools require the right design logic.
The market has had intelligent surface thinking for years. OptiMat helps bring it into everyday non-acute care, where it now belongs.
That is the thinking behind OptiMat.
‘More Time to Care’ starts with less work around.
Structured to simplify. Engineered to perform. Designed to last.
In sustained care environments, the right support surface should not keep pulling attention back to itself. It should be properly tuned to serve the majority user population, reduce avoidable interruption, support steadier care routines and help care teams focus on what matters most: good care, delivered well.
Less time managing equipment returns more value to care. That is why the OptiMat Platform matters. Not only to simplify selection, but to make the support surface easier to live with after delivery too.
