This mattress provides additional protection against heel pressure ulcers. Heel comfort is maximized by a gently sloping heel section and channel cuts in the middle layer of foam under the foot section. The comfort of the Gravity 8 mattress is equally matched by its durability. The cover provides functionality and convenience, as it is not only easy to clean, but it is also fluid-proof, tear-resistant, fire retardant, and low sheer. With its comfort, convenience, and practicality, Drive Medical's Gravity 8 is the right choice for anyone in need of a pressure redistribution mattress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Gravity 8 Deluxe Pressure Redistribution Mattress is step up from the Gravity 7. The Gravity 8 features three full layers of foam to maximize comfort and ensure proper pressure redistribution. The top layer features a die-cut section and memory foam heel section to target pressure redistribution zones, while the bottom layer has full-length, horizontally-scored articulation cuts, which helps keep the mattress intact for longer. What makes the Gravity 8 unique is the 6” to 5” heel slope and “channel cut” center layer of foam, which just means that there are square-like tunnels inside the mattress. This design helps to target and prevent heel ulcers. The high-density foam edges ensure transfers from the mattress is easy and safe. The Gravity 8’s stretch cover features a low shear design which is fire retardant, fluid proof, tear resistant and a breeze to clean. The optional elevated perimeter and cut-outs have two benefits: The elevated perimeters help to keep the user from falling out of the bed, while the cut-outs assist the user in getting off the bed when transferring.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFeatures \u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrevent heel pressure ulcers with the heel slope, channel cuts, and
