Bedsore positioning wedges

Not sure if this is the correct place to ask this (or if there's a better one). Mum has the beginnings of a bedsore on her sacrum and, at the moment, the carers are using pilows to position mum at 30 degs. on alternate sides each visit. All the pillows in general seem extremely squishy and within an hour or two are more of less flat. It also doesn't help that mum prefers to be on her back and she doesn't understand why she's being positioned. I've seen foam wedges on various aid sites but I wondered if anyone can recommend a site for wedges specifically for turning rather than just for sitting or raising legs. I did find one that was designed by an actual nurse specialising in bedsores but it was in the U.S. and they didn't have an outlet in the UK.

The pillow I use for my OH is pocket sprung covered with something soft, it is very soft but doesn't squish flat.
I have no idea where I got it from.
