Drive Medical 14893 Premium Guard Gel Mattress Overlay, Blue

cheaper than medical stores

I bought this for my mother who spends most of her time in bed. She received a new hospital bed in January, and it came with a standard mattress. She complained every day about hip or back pain. I bought this topper and put it on her bed and the complaints stopped immediately. She sleeps comfortably throughout the night now. A great buy!

At least this was the right size for a hospital bed, not too wide or too long. However, it's not particularly comfortable. Patient complains of lumpiness, and it's not very soft. Had to add a couple inches of memory foam to make it more sleepable.

My dad is partially paralyzed from a stroke and we have to be very careful when he's sleeping that he doesn't develop bed sores. This gel mattress overlay has worked very well for him. It does have to be replaced every year or so because it loses its shape, but it has worked well. Also, I ordered this replacement on August 1 and didn't expect to receive it for at least a week, so I couldn't believe it when it arrived 2 days later on August 3! Talk about quick shipping!

Helps with bed spares.

Love this product!

for a quick fix its acceptable for short term. It seems to develop a memory of buttocks convex pothole.

This gel mattress pad fit both a regular double bed and a standard hospital bed. Provided comfort for an ailing elderly patient. It has elastic straps in the corners to keep it in place. Wipes clean, easy to disinfect if needed, and very well made - heavy duty. I've encountered many Drive products in the assisted living facility with which I became familiar. Drive products are widely used, durable, and high quality. This particular pad is being sold here at a very good price point. It is heavy, though, and transporting is a bit unwieldy (while still in the shipping box). Out of the box, one can "hug" the folded pad and it is more easily moved.
