Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes if your bed has a 36" wide × 80" long deck. That's the standard size for most home hospital beds and adjustable home care beds in Canada.
-
The Multi-Ply 6500 is designed for low-to-moderate risk and provides genuine pressure redistribution thanks to its 4-layer foam and sloped heel zone. For higher-risk users, an alternating pressure or low air loss system (Med-Aire Plus or Harmony Tri-Therapy) is more appropriate.
-
Yes. The cover is removable, fluid-resistant, and can be wiped down with mild detergent. Avoid bleach. The cover is vapor permeable so the mattress breathes, which helps reduce moisture against the skin.
-
No. This is a passive foam mattress with no pump, no plug, no maintenance. Just place it on the bed deck.
-
The Multi-Ply 6500 is foam only. The Med-Aire Plus 8" adds active alternating pressure plus low air loss, appropriate for higher-risk users. The Harmony Tri-Therapy adds pulsation on top of those for the most advanced pressure care.
