Investigation of biomechanical and physiological functions of laying on a new mattress in healthy volunteers.
This trial primary aims to investigate the biomechanical (interface pressure) and physiological (microvascular function) responses to prolonged lying postures during CLP when combined with pulsation therapy on a product not yet placed on the market (Caylis Pro® LAL System). A secondary aim is to compare the frequency and amplitude of different pulsation modes with respect to the biomechanical and physiological responses at the participant-support surface interface.

As an alternative to manual repositioning, advanced air mattress systems have been introduced to periodically relieve support pressures. A number of measurements have been used to examine the performance of support surfaces. As an example, interface pressure measurements between the individual and the support surface have been extensively used in both lab-based and clinical studies . We are now investigation the functions to reduce pressure in our new Caylis mattress

* Comfort, support and firmness scores (using a 7 point verbal rating scale ) * Interface pressure distribution (ForeSitePT, XSensor) * Transcutaneous gas levels * Microclimate measures between the participant and the support surface using temperature and humidity sensors (Sensiron SH75). * Internal Mattress air pressures
