To understand the mechanism of the development of pressure ulcer, it is important to know contact pressure between human body and mattress. In this study, we generated simplified finite element model of human. We also generated a diversity of shape and material with FE model of mattress, and then we performed numerical analysis in contact condition. In this result, we found correlation between several condition of mattress and contact pressure in FE model of human.
