Gravity 8 Deluxe Pressure Redistribution Mattress – Ultimate Heel Protection

Description

Pressure Redistribution Mattress

The Gravity 8 deluxe pressure redistribution mattress by Drive DeVilbiss Healthcare takes long term care comfort a step further with a multi-layered, die-cut foam design that includes a true memory foam heel section. Designed for patients who spend significant time in bed, this mattress helps reduce the likelihood of pressure injuries while supporting safe, comfortable transfers.

Advanced Multi-Layer Design

This mattress features three layers of latex-free foam working in unison to support the body. The top layer uses die-cutting technology alongside a true memory foam heel section to optimize zoned pressure redistribution, meaning the mattress responds differently across the head, torso, and heel regions based on where pressure naturally accumulates during long periods of lying down.

A Heel Slope Built for Prevention

One standout feature of the Gravity 8 deluxe mattress is its tapered 6 to 5 inch heel slope combined with a channel-cut center layer of foam under the foot section. This design actively works to prevent heel ulcers, a common and painful complication for patients with reduced mobility. Families and caregivers throughout the GTA often prioritize this kind of targeted protection when selecting a long term care mattress.

Built to Last

The bottom layer includes articulation cuts that extend the durability and overall lifespan of the mattress, ensuring it continues to perform well through years of daily use. The high density foam perimeter provides solid edge support, making it easier and safer for caregivers to assist with patient transfers without the mattress edges collapsing under the person’s weight.

Easy to Clean, Built for Hygiene

The fluid, tear, and shear resistant stretch cover is easy to remove and clean, an essential feature for both homecare and institutional settings where hygiene standards must be maintained. This pressure redistribution mattress also supports optional side rails, giving families flexibility to add extra safety measures as care needs evolve.

Multiple Size Options

The Gravity 8 deluxe mattress is available in several length configurations to fit different hospital bed frames, including 76, 80, and 84 inch options at 36 inches wide.
