About Bariatric Mattresses

Bedding is very important for heavier individuals with orthopedic needs requiring adequate support. Pressure relief is also a consideration for the prevention of bed sores. There is a difference between firm support and firm feel. You want to select a mattress with firm support and a comfortable feel. If a mattress is to firm it can cause pressure points which can lead to not only bed sores but aches and pains in shoulders and hips and sensitive areas in the back. 


 

Your Bariatric Mattress Specialists

The bed and mattress is the most important purchase you need to start with. More time is spent in bed than out of bed and the more comfortable the patient is the faster they will respond to treatment.  On the next 2 pages you will find what is needed for the Caregiver as well as the patient.  Making things easier for everyone is what this site is all about.  You can always contact me and I will be ready to work with you and help you with your choices.

Bariatric Mattresses

 

A special mattress designed for Facilities, Long Term Care and Sleep Centers that has a weight capacity of 750 lbs or 1000 lbs and is constructed so that the mattress is comfortable for any weight patient. A very special mattress.

Powerful Results - Without Power! Sound impossible? With a standard static air system, it is, but the PressureGuard CFT is truly different. It uses patented Constant Force Technology™to automatically adjust the mattress's network of interconnected air cylinders and elasticized reservoirs to the appropriate, therapeutic levels for each patient, regardless of their weight or position on the surface. Delivers customized pressure reduction comparable to low air loss, while providing patient with a stable surface to maximize functional ability and maintain safe positions.

 

 

This patented support surface design was developed by Span-America in the late 1980’s in conjunction with Dr. Thomas Krouskop of the Baylor School of Medicine.  Computer-guided equipment is used to cut foam into a geometric pattern of supportive cubes that are undercut with an open channel.

 

Unlike flat or convoluted ("egg crate") foam, these individual cubes allow the surface to conform to the body and accommodate bony prominences, redistributing pressure across the support surface. This minimizes the pulling of the skin and tissue over bony prominences, thereby offsetting the harmful effects of shearing forces.
The “Ring of Air” helps to disperse heat and moisture away from the body and out into the atmosphere. The channel also assists in pressure management by providing, in effect, a layer of air between two layers of foam to enhance conformance of the foam to the body.

 

A special mattress designed for Facilities, Long Term Care and Sleep Centers.  These Special

mattresses have a weight capacity of 750 lbs or 1000 lbs and is constructed so that the mattress is comfortable for any weight patient. 

 

 

Next Generation-Power Alternating Pressure or Lateral Rotation at the Flip of A Switch! With its two distinct therapy modes, the PressureGuard APM2 gives you twice the treatment options. Twice the flexibility. Twice the value.

 

 

 

Change instantly and easily from alternating pressure to basic lateral rotation with a single, recessed toggle switch. Requires no disconnecting or exchanging of air lines.

 

 

 

And, when ordered with the new Deluxe control unit, the APM2 offers even more value. The “Static” button parks the unit in powered flotation mode, temporarily suspending rotation/alternating pressure to facilitate feeding, transfers, dressing changes, etc. The "Low Pressure" indicator light gives users at-a-glance assurance of proper function.
