Frequently asked questions
Does this foam help prevent pressure sores?
Yes, the convoluted “egg-crate” design is specifically engineered to distribute body weight evenly across the surface. This helps to reduce localized pressure points and supports skin integrity for individuals who spend long durations in bed.
Can this be used by someone with a latex allergy?
Absolutely. This mattress overlay is made from high-quality polyurethane foam and is not made with natural rubber latex, making it a safe choice for users with latex sensitivities.
How does the texture improve my sleep comfort?
The signature convoluted texture creates peaks and valleys that serve two purposes:
- Improved Airflow: The design allows better air circulation between your body and the mattress, helping to manage heat and moisture.
- Reduced Pressure: By distributing your weight across the peaks, it helps keep you cooler and more comfortable during rest.
Is this suitable for both home and clinical use?
Yes, the McKesson Mattress Overlay is professional-grade and suitable for both clinical settings and home healthcare environments. It is designed to provide reliable support in any care scenario.
Is it safe to place near heating pads or fires?
No. Please keep this product away from open flames or high heat sources, as the polyurethane foam material is combustible.
How do I install the overlay on my mattress?
Installation is straightforward: simply place the overlay directly on top of your existing standard medical or home mattress. The flat underside of the foam is designed to lay securely against your base mattress surface.
Is this product meant for long-term repeated use?
This product is specifically intended for single-patient use. It is an efficient, hygienic solution for facilities or long-term care needs where individual hygiene is a priority.
Does the foam meet safety standards?
Yes, this product is compliant and meets the requirements of Technical Bulletin 117-2013 regarding the Bureau of Electronic and Appliance Repair, Home Furnishings and Thermal Insulation.
Will this overlay fit a standard hospital bed?
The overlay measures 33 inches wide by 72 inches long, which is the standard size for many medical-grade mattresses. We recommend measuring your specific base mattress to ensure a perfect fit.
Why is this sold in a case of 18?
