bedsore preventing mattress

is much more google-friendly than anti-bedsore. But then, as a rule of thumb, words starting with przeciw- in Polish hardly ever start with anti- in English - Cf. przeciwpozarowy, przeciwpowodziowy
antidecubital also gets four hits but all are of dubious quality: they come from sites ending in de, cz or ru
