Description
The Drive 15006 is a 6 in (15 cm) innerspring hospital bed mattress, 36 by 80 in (91 by 203 cm), rated 350 lbs (159 kg). It replaces the mattress on the deck.
What does it do and how does it work?
- An innerspring core carries a 1 in high-density, firm, combustion-modified fiber topper on each side.
- The 15006EF extra-firm build adds a second 1 in topper on top and keeps one on the bottom.
- The vinyl cover is waterproof and anti-static.
- There is no pump and no power connection.
Who is it for, and who should choose something else?
- A person up to 350 lbs (159 kg) on a 36 by 80 in deck who wants a coil mattress.
- The care team decides which surface suits the person's skin and risk; Drive names no pressure-injury stage for this item.
- Someone who wants Drive's 5-zone foam mattress should choose the therapeutic mattress.
- It is not an overlay and not a foam mattress.
Will it fit?
- 36 in wide, 80 in long and 6 in high (91 x 203 x 15 cm) for item 15006.
- The 15006EF is the same size, extra firm, and item 15014 is 36 by 84 by 6 in for an 84 in deck.
- The 350 lbs (159 kg) limit is the mattress rating; the bed frame's own safe working load applies if it is lower.
- At 6 in high, recheck the gaps to the rails. Health Canada recommends gaps under 120 mm (4 3/4 in) within and under the rail, and under 60 mm (2 3/8 in) at the rail ends. See bed rails.
- A mattress that has touched skin cannot be returned, so measure first. See the return policy.
Using it day to day
- Wipe the waterproof vinyl cover clean and check it for tears at each linen change.
- Rotate the mattress head to foot when the deck allows, so the toppers wear evenly.
- Keep sharp objects off the vinyl to avoid punctures.
What does it work with, and what are its limits?
- It is a non-powered innerspring mattress: no pump, alternating cycle or low air loss.
- Warranty is one year; see the Warranty tab.
How does it compare?
- Therapeutic 5-zone mattress: Drive's foam alternative in the same 36 by 80 in size.
- Gravity 7: a foam mattress with a heel section and a longer warranty.
- Medical mattresses: the wider range.
