In the early 1990s, Natural Form began making air mattresses with pressure relieving surfaces to help hospitals prevent and treat decubitus ulcers, also known as pressure ulcers or bedsores. The need for a better mattress became necessary because the traditional spring and foam beds simply could not provide the pressure relief necessary to prevent and treat developing bedsores. Then in 1999, WCW's chairman, John Wilkinson, invented the Natural  Form mattress with SAT, or Self Adjusting Technology.

This Patented and Licensed state-of-the-art technology provides instantaneous pressure relief regardless of an individual's body type, weight or sleep  position. It was this technology that provided such comfort for patients that Natural Form began receiving requests for these same beds for the home.

Clinical Testing and Benefits

Is the Natural Form mattress reimbursable from private insurance and efficient enough to be recognized as a medical product used to  treat and prevent health conditions including Bedsores?

Yes, Natural Form is the only air mattress recognized by the U.S. Government and private insurance in the consumer martketplace. It has its own HCPS Code EO 373 for Non-powered Pressure Relieving Mattresses. Select Comfort/Sleep Number Air Beds are not recognized as Durable Medical Equipment as they are not manufactured for health care concerns such as bedsores or other medical issues, but rather for comfort issues in consumer homes. Natural Form was medically tested and scientifically evaluated by the U.S. Government for 6 years before it was awarded this prestigious recognition. The Natural Form is built to Hospital Grade specifications so it is designed to last far longer than any conventional mattress.

Optimum Sleep Environment

The Natural Form Self Adjusting Technology features a unique air suspension system which utilizes a series of inter-connected air chambers that create a zero pressure, oxygen-rich sleeping environment which creates the ideal conditions necessary for a good night's sleep. In addition to the prevention of bedsores previously mentioned, it can also benefit many other people who may be suffering from a variety of skeletal or muscular problems, as well as many other degenerative or sleep disorders.

Natural Form SAT technology is being used in acute health care centers and hospitals around the world, and represents the top-of-the-line in patient  care, providing a potent defense against bedsores, and aiding those who need it most to sleep.
