Drive Medical 15770 Gravity 7 Pressure Redistribution Mattress - 6.6 Foot Hospital Bed Mattress for Pressure Ulcer Prevention, Blue (Single Pack) - Ideal for Home Care, Nursing Homes & Medical Facilities

For a senior mattress, kid's mattress, guest room mattress, mattress that will outlive your others, this one is it.It may seem odd to think about a hospital mattress for home use but I looked for one specifically. Why? When I was in culinary school I worked for a short time at a hospital mattress company called Neuropedic. They were crazy expensive but we got calls daily from people who slept on one in a hotel or at the hospital and had to have one for home use because they were so comfortable. And they are for a reason. But they are better for many other reasons as well.This one was just like the Neuoropedic mattress as far as make, without the price of the marketing, so I decided to try it out here and slept on it a few nights myself. Honestly, I have never slept better.It's basically a Tempurpedic memory foam but better for starters. The "better" part is that it's not just one long slab of the same foam. Your head area is more firm while your heels sink into total softness and there is medium memory foam below the head. This is important for long-term care because it prevents bed sores but for those who are in perfect health and just sleep on it at night you will realize how much better you sleep when your feet are able to sink into the softness.No more bedbugs or worse: For a kid's mattress or teen mattress or guest or senior care you have to really think about it differently. Hospital beds have an impenetrable cover to bacteria, sweat, bed bugs, vomit, blood and urine. Why every mattress does not have it is beyond me. I mean, after the flu, you would not wear the same clothes the rest of the week, but you will sleep on a mattress that soaked up your sniffles, sneezes or worse. The cover on this prevents anything soaking into the mattress and it's not just body fluid resistant like some, but it's body-fluid PROOF. Of course this also means you can spill your soda or coffee on it without it soaking in as well. Even some mattresses by this same brand are not this protected. This is their upper line.The mattress redistributes the weight of your body perfectly not just to ensure no bed sores but for the best sleep you can imagine. It's made for health reasons not for marketing to ensure you sink into it as needed and rest on top where needed to. It's truly dreamy sleep.The size is 80" (L) x 36" (W) x 6" (H) x 6" (H) . It will fit a standard hospital bed, bunk bed, twin bed, etc.I really can't understand buying a twin mattress of any other kind. This provides better sleep and better protection than any other but people just don't think to buy a commercial mattress brand made for these reasons even when the price is better and it does more than something like a Tempurpedic brand. Same concept with the memory foam but without the pretty flowered cover that allows your bed to be the dirtiest clothes you wear even though you lay on your bed all night. With this, your mattress remains protected forever and you sleep in total comfort with perfect weight distribution. And literally, No sweat. (or dead skin or bed bugs or bacteria).Especially great for a kid's mattress or senior care where they need to spend long hours or all hours in bed or may be sick while in bed.Incidentally, hospital mattresses also have to be rated for fire safety whereas home mattresses can easily and quickly catch fire. Just an extra bonus.
