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 recog-

nized 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.
