A device comprising a base, a platform attached to the base such that it is supported at a slight inclination offset from the vertical and means to record the interface between a person resting on the platform and the platform to produce a model for mattress selection or design. The device may measure the shape of the subject whilst in a recumbent position or measure the pressure distribution between the person and the platform. Shape characteristics may be measured by using a sheet draped over a user and assessing it by obliquely or stereoscopically photographing registration points marked or projected on the sheet material. The sloped platform allows a measurement to be taken in a situation wherein there is less pressure between a user and the support surface. |
