Hospital Bed Mattresses

It depends on the patient’s mobility and skin condition:

• Foam mattresses → for general comfort & low–moderate pressure-risk
• Gel/Visco foam mattresses → for enhanced comfort & heat reduction
• Alternating pressure (APP) → for moderate–high pressure ulcer risk
• Low air loss (LAL) → for moisture/heat control & high pressure-risk
• Lateral rotation systems → for immobile patients needing advanced therapy

If you’re unsure, choose based on pressure ulcer risk or ask us for guidance.

Most mattresses here are designed to fit standard hospital bed sizes:

• 36" × 80" (standard)
• 36" × 84" (extended)
• 42" or 48" (bariatric)

Each product page lists exact dimensions and compatibility.
All work with fully electric and semi-electric adjustable hospital beds.

• Foam mattresses are best for comfort, stable support, and low-maintenance use.
• Air mattresses (APP/LAL) actively reduce pressure by cycling air and improving skin conditions, ideal for bed bound or high-risk patients.

If the patient spends 10+ hours a day in bed or already has pressure injuries, choose air.

No. Regular consumer mattresses donotarticulate safely on hospital beds, may cause shearing injuries, and often exceed safe thickness levels. Always use amedical-grade hospital bed mattress.

• 6” is the standard for most medical foam mattresses
• 8–10” for some advanced air systems
• Avoid overly thick mattresses that reduce side rail height or safe transfer height

Every product in this collection is designed to work safely on hospital beds.

Yes. Each category offers different levels of protection:

• Foam → low–moderate prevention
• Gel/Visco → enhanced prevention
• Alternating pressure + Low air loss → moderate–high risk
• Lateral rotation → high–very high risk

Check each product’s recommended use cases.

Yes. All mattresses here use medical-grade, fluid-resistant, low-shear covers that wipe clean easily, ideal for home and facility care.

Weight capacities range from 250 to 650 lbs, depending on model.
Bariatric mattresses are available in wider sizes and higher capacities.

Yes. All APP, low air loss, and rotational systems include a compatible pump.

Start with patient mobility & pressure risk:

• Mobile or semi-mobile → Foam
• Low mobility or diabetic foot issues → Gel/visco + heel protection foam
• Bedbound or existing pressure ulcers → Alternating pressure / low air loss
• Completely immobile → Lateral rotation

If you need personalized guidance, we can recommend the right model.
