Bed sores, also known as pressure ulcers, are injuries to the skin and underlying tissue caused by prolonged pressure, typically affecting individuals who spend extended periods in bed or seated without repositioning. They commonly develop on areas like the heels, hips, and tailbone, and can quickly progress from mild redness to serious, open wounds if not addressed. Preventing bed sores is critical, as they can lead to pain, infection, and longer recovery times. One effective prevention method is the use of egg crate mattresses, which are designed with a textured, uneven surface that helps distribute body weight more evenly and reduce constant pressure on vulnerable areas. This improved pressure relief promotes better blood circulation and airflow, helping to protect the skin and reduce the risk of sores forming or worsening.
