Pineapple Contracts says its Scorpio Collapsible Mattress is designed to prevent windows and viewing panels being blocked by such items, ‘reducing the number and scale of necessary interventions’.
It said: “The design of the mattress responds to client needs to make visual inspections of rooms quicker and safer, protecting both users and staff.
‘Driving for innovation in the challenging environments furniture market’, Pineapple has used a tri-fold design for the Scorpio Collapsible Mattress. Two heat-welded seams have been ergonomically placed across the mattress, without compromising on the comfort of the user, so the mattress cannot hold itself upright. Consequently, the mattress cannot be left to block vision panels, windows, or doors, and eliminates the added staff concern of ‘going into the unknown’ where a mattress has been used as a barricade. Once collapsed, the mattress shape doubles as a chair on the floor, offering a softer surface as vulnerable users de-escalate.
Covered in heavy-duty, waterproof anti-vandal fabric, the Scorpio Collapsible Mattress can be made using either a Crib 5 or a Crib 7 finish, ‘making it an excellent solution for a range of extra challenging environments such as seclusion rooms, mental health facilities, prisons, and other places with unpredictable behaviours’.
