Description
Drive Medical Gravity 7 Pressure Redistribution Mattress
The Drive Medical Gravity 7 Pressure Redistribution Mattress is a therapeutic foam mattress designed for long-term care and home-care environments where comfort, pressure redistribution, and dependable support are important. Its multi-layer foam construction helps distribute body weight across the mattress surface while reducing shear and friction.
The 15770 configuration measures 36 inches wide × 80 inches long × 6 inches high and supports users weighing up to 350 lb. This model uses three full layers of latex-free foam and is supplied without the raised perimeter rails found on some other Gravity 7 configurations.
Three-Layer Therapeutic Foam Construction
The Drive Medical Gravity 7 Pressure Redistribution Mattress uses three full layers of latex-free foam.
Each layer contributes to the overall support and pressure-redistribution design of the mattress. The layered construction provides a balance of comfort and structural support while helping the mattress adapt to different areas of the user’s body.
Drive identifies the Gravity 7 as one of its therapeutic foam mattresses designed specifically for pressure redistribution and reduction of shear and friction.
Zoned Pressure Redistribution
The full-width upper foam layer features a specially die-cut design.
This construction creates different support zones across the mattress surface to help optimize pressure redistribution.
Zoned foam can allow different portions of the mattress to respond to body weight while maintaining overall support across the sleeping surface.
Visco Foam Heel Section
The Gravity 7 incorporates a visco foam heel section designed to help reduce pressure around the heels.
The heel area can be especially sensitive for individuals who spend extended periods in bed, so the mattress incorporates a dedicated section intended to provide additional pressure-management support in this area.
The mattress should always be used as part of an appropriate overall care plan based on the user’s individual needs.
High-Density Foam Perimeter
High-density foam along the edges provides additional support around the mattress perimeter.
This firmer edge construction can help create a more stable sitting surface near the side of the mattress and may assist users and caregivers during appropriate transfers.
It also helps maintain the shape and structural integrity of the mattress during everyday use.
Articulating Bottom Foam Layer
The bottom foam layer includes full-length horizontal articulation cuts.
These cuts allow the mattress to flex more naturally when used on an adjustable home hospital bed.
This is particularly useful when the head or foot section of the bed is raised because the mattress needs to follow the movement of the adjustable bed deck without excessive resistance.
Drive also states that this design helps support the durability and useful life of the mattress.
Removable Fluid-Resistant Cover
The Drive Medical Gravity 7 Pressure Redistribution Mattress includes a removable polyurethane stretch cover.
The top surface is designed to be:
- Fluid resistant
- Low shear
- Vapor permeable
These characteristics help protect the mattress while providing a surface designed to reduce friction and moisture-related concerns.
The manufacturer lists the cover construction as a stretch fluid-resistant nylon top with a waterproof vinyl bottom.
Easy-Care Mattress Surface
Because the cover is removable, routine mattress care and cleaning can be more manageable in home-care and long-term-care environments.
The protective cover helps prevent fluids from reaching the internal foam while allowing the mattress surface to remain suitable for everyday use.
Cleaning and disinfecting should always follow Drive Medical’s care instructions to protect both the cover and foam materials.
Standard 36″ × 80″ Hospital Bed Size
The 15770 Gravity 7 measures:
36″ wide × 80″ long × 6″ high
This size is commonly used with standard home hospital beds.
Before purchasing, users should confirm the dimensions of their existing hospital-bed frame and ensure that the mattress size is compatible with the specific bed and any installed safety rails or accessories.
Designed for Adjustable Home Hospital Beds
The flexible foam construction and articulated bottom layer make the Gravity 7 suitable for use with compatible adjustable home hospital beds.
As the head or foot section of the bed moves, the mattress is designed to flex with the bed deck.
This makes it a practical mattress option for home-care users who require regular bed-position adjustments.
350 lb Weight Capacity
The Drive Medical Gravity 7 Pressure Redistribution Mattress has a manufacturer-listed maximum weight capacity of 350 lb.
Users should remain within the stated capacity and ensure that both the mattress and the hospital bed itself are suitable for the user’s weight and care requirements.
Meets Federal Flammability Standards
Drive states that the Gravity 7 mattress meets CFR 1632 and CFR 1633 flammability standards.
These standards relate to mattress flammability performance and form part of the manufacturer’s product specifications.
Long-Term Foam and Cover Warranty
Drive provides a 7-year limited warranty on the foam and a 3-year warranty on the mattress cover.
This warranty structure reflects the different expected service characteristics of the internal therapeutic foam and the removable external cover.
Home-Care and Long-Term Care Support
The combination of pressure-redistribution foam, heel support, reinforced perimeter, articulating construction, and a protective cover makes this mattress suitable for compatible home hospital beds and long-term care settings.
Users should consider mattress dimensions, weight capacity, bed compatibility, positioning needs, and any professional care recommendations when selecting a support surface.
