To reach your hospital mattress expected life as defined by the manufacturer, you must follow the disinfection process in the manufacturer’s IFU, which typically
costs more in extra staff time and additional supplies

more cost, more often

Dozens of studies have shown that hospital mattresses harbor pathogens even after disinfection.
