Description
The Drive Medical Shearcare 1500 Foam Bariatric Dual Layer Pressure Redistribution Mattress (80″ x 48″) is the widest offering in this line, built for high-weight-capacity bariatric beds where a 42″ mattress would be insufficient. Like its narrower counterpart, it layers a pliable conforming foam over a dense load-bearing base to spread pressure evenly and minimise shear stress across the skin. This size is appropriate when a wider sleeping surface is medically indicated and where standard mattresses would not adequately cover the bed frame.
