Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers about NEST Cushion from BES Healthcare. Explore practical product information to help you understand its features, suitability and available options.

NEST is a cushion and mattress material made from an interlocking 3D polymer loop structure that's about 90% air. It spreads pressure in all directions, lets air flow through to reduce heat and humidity, and is fully recyclable.

NEST has an open structure that air passes straight through, while foam is a solid material. That means NEST can be washed and disinfected through the core and runs cooler. Foam cushions usually can't be washed through, and they handle heat differently. The right choice still depends on the user's needs.

Description

NEST offers a durable, washable, and reusable solution for better patient outcomes and long-term savings, making it a reusable solution for community equipment stores and NHS establishments. NEST Cushion also has antimicrobial properties and excellent pressure distribution, ensuring patient safety.
