Bariatric Mattress

Bariatric Mattress - Heavy Duty Options That Actually Work

Regular mattresses don't work for bigger people. They compress, create pressure points, and break down fast. Bariatric mattress options are built different - wider, stronger, and designed for people who need real support.

We're talking 42" and 48" wide mattresses that handle 300-700 lbs without losing their shape. From basic foam that prevents bed sores to advanced air systems that do the positioning for you.

FAQ

What size bariatric mattress do I need?
Match your bed width. 42" bed needs 42" mattress, 48" bed needs 48" mattress. Don't try to make a regular 36" mattress work on a bariatric bed - it'll leave gaps and be uncomfortable.

Foam or air mattresses - which is better?
Foam is cheaper, quieter, no electricity needed. Air mattresses actively prevent bed sores by constantly moving pressure around your body - the air cells inflate and deflate so no spot gets pressure for too long. Low air loss keeps moisture away from your skin, which stops skin breakdown. It is ultimately dependent on your unique use case.

Do these actually prevent bed sores?
Yes, when you get the right one. Cheap mattresses cause pressure points. These spread your weight out properly. The heel slope designs target where most sores start. Air systems actively move pressure around. But you still need to keep skin clean and dry.
