ShearCare 1500 Heavy Duty Bariatric Dual Layer Pressure Redistribution Foam Mattress

Foam mattresses come in a variety of densities and thicknesses to make for an optimum sleeping surface. The Multi-Ply ShearCare 1500 Pressure Redistribution Foam Mattress, by Drive Medical, utilizes these properties to create a pressure redistribution framework to prevent health issues for those who need to spend most of their day laying down. This model specifically targets bariatric patients who need an extra dense surface to support heavier body weights.

The ShearCare 1500 is the bariatric model in the ShearCare line. This foam mattress model is built using two distinct layers. The bottom layer is made of LX45 foam, which is high-density, high ILD foam for superior support and stability. The top layer is a highly resilient, high-density die-cut foam that will both support and distribute pressure across the body as a way to prevent pressure sores and skin irritation from occurring.

At the foot of this Drive Medical Foam Mattress is a section designed specifically for the heel. Made with Lura-Quilt foam, air will flow through the material and keep the heel and calves cool and dry -- elements that help ward against skin maceration and irritation.

The dual foam system is enveloped in a two-way stretch fabric that has two distinct top and bottom surfaces. The top fabric will reduce heat build-up and provide a low shear surface that is anti-microbial and waterproof. The bottom layer is completely vinyl. It is waterproof on the bottom and will prevent staining. The zipper on this mattress cover is concealed and has a flap that goes over the opening to prevent liquids from getting inside its core.

The mattress meets Federal Fire Code CFR 16 part 1633. The mattress holds a maximum of 450 to 850 pounds depending on the size chosen (see specifications below).
