Hi Robyn,
We are referring to bare foam.

As I am on the assumption that if there were a suitable cover on it (impermeable / water proof type) that it would be safe to sanitise and reuse.

However clarification on either use would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all,

I would like to use the resources within this group to point me to any definitive evidence of the safe use of an egg shell mattress in the aged care setting, specifically can an egg shell mattress be reused for another resident Once laundered at the appropriate temperature for the appropriate length of time.

This is to settle a dispute with our organisation.

Kind regards
