In this study, we investigate the performance of the bedsore prevention mattresses on the contact pressure and tissue blood flow in the sacral skin of elderly adults. Additionally, we examine the relationship between the contact pressure applied on the sacral skin of elderly adults and the mechanical properties of the bedsore prevention mattresses.
