Multi-Ply ShearCare 1500 Bariatric Mattress – Premium Pressure Protection

Description

Bariatric Mattress

The Multi-Ply ShearCare 1500 pressure redistribution foam mattress by Drive DeVilbiss Healthcare is a bariatric-rated therapeutic mattress designed for patients who require additional width and weight capacity beyond standard long term care mattresses. Built with high-density, latex-free foam, this mattress delivers reliable pressure redistribution while reducing the shear and friction forces that commonly lead to skin breakdown.

Engineered for Bariatric Care

Unlike standard therapeutic mattresses, the ShearCare 1500 is specifically constructed to support larger and heavier patients, with a weight capacity of up to 650 lbs on the 42 inch width and 750 lbs on the 48 inch width. This makes it an essential option for families and long term care facilities across Toronto and the GTA that need dependable pressure redistribution for bariatric patients.

High-Density Foam Layers

This mattress uses a two-layer foam construction, starting with a high-resilient, high-density die-cut top layer that provides full-width support and effective pressure redistribution across the body. Beneath it, a supportive high-density foam bottom layer offers the stability that bariatric patients need, helping to prevent excessive sinking or bottoming out that can compromise comfort and safety.

Dedicated Heel Protection

A premium foam heel section is built into the mattress design specifically to offload pressure from the heels, one of the most vulnerable areas for pressure injury development in patients with reduced mobility. This targeted protection is especially important for bariatric patients, who may face greater pressure concentration in this area due to body weight distribution.

A Cover Designed for Hygiene

The removable, multi-stretch cover is fluid-resistant, low-shear, and vapor-permeable, helping to protect skin from friction and excess moisture over extended use. This cover is easy to clean and remove, an important consideration for caregivers managing hygiene in both home and institutional care settings.

Sizing to Fit Bariatric Bed Frames

The ShearCare 1500 is available in two width options, 42 inches and 48 inches, both at a standard 80 inch length, allowing it to be matched to bariatric hospital bed frames of different sizes.
