Hospital Bed Mattress for Heavy Person

Mattresses Engineered for Heavier Patients

A hospital bed mattress for heavy person isn't just wider or thicker—it’s structurally reinforced for long-term use. These models support higher weight capacities, typically 500 lbs and above, without bottoming out or losing pressure redistribution capabilities. They're made with dense foam cores, air-powered systems, or multi-layer hybrid builds that offer consistent therapeutic support while reducing the risk of pressure injuries.

Each mattress is designed to meet medical-grade standards, featuring waterproof, anti-shear covers, welded seams, and edge support to aid in transfers and reduce fall risk. These mattresses are compatible with both home and facility care settings and are often paired with wider frames like those in our full lineup of bariatric hospital beds designed for comfort and safety
