June 18, 2010, Newsletter Issue #197: Latex for Bed Sores

Tip of the Week

Bed sores are deep ulcers that form when pressure is exerted over bony areas of the body for extended periods of time. This causes circulation to be restricted and can lead to the death of cells in the effected tissue. Common locations for bed sores are on the heels, buttocks, hips, sacrum, and shoulder blades. For individuals faced with this ailment it is necessary to consult a medical professional to help rejuvenate the afflicted areas. However, it can also be helpful to acquire a latex topper, which can help distribute the weight of the body and reduce pressure points during sleep. Latex toppers, such as a natural lux topper, are resistant to allergens and can reduce allergies in the bedroom. The material is also remarkably durable and long lasting, often retaining its form for years to come.
