A method for manufacture of a pressure sensing mat comprising the steps of: (a) preparing two conductive layers, each conductive layer comprising an array of conducting strips mounted upon a substrate arranged in a parallel fashion, wherein the conducting strips of the first conductive layer are oriented perpendicularly in relation to the conducting strips of the second conductive layer (b) for each conductive layer, connecting each of the conducting strips to a communication line (c) sandwiching a compressible layer between the two conductive layers and (d) performing a pressure reading standardization test to the mat.
