Mattress and Mattress Cover Audit Checklist
by Jamal Ogungbola, from the Community
Conduct monthly mattress and mattress cover audits in hospitals and care facilities with this practical checklist. It guides auditors through hand compression and water penetration tests, checks for damage, failed zips, staining, odors, and moisture, and records outcomes by room. Use it to determine when covers or mattresses should be replaced and to document actions and signatures, helping maintain hygiene standards, patient safety, and compliance with local procedures.
