Bariatric Bed Span-America GeoMattress Atlas

The Span-America GeoMattress Atlas is a high-performance bariatric foam mattress designed to support individuals weighing up to 750 lbs, offering both comfort and clinical-grade pressure management. It features a multi-layered, high-resiliency foam core with a top layer of precision-cut Geo-Matt segments that redistribute pressure and reduce shear forces, especially in vulnerable areas like the shoulders and hips. The mattress includes a built-in Heel Slope for targeted heel protection and a firm perimeter edge to assist with safe transfers and prevent edge collapse. Its fluid-resistant, fire-retardant cover is durable, easy to clean, and helps maintain a hygienic surface. Ideal for long-term care and home use, the Atlas promotes skin integrity, reduces the risk of pressure ulcers, and provides a stable, supportive sleep surface for bariatric patients.

Span-America offers a comprehensive line of bariatric mattresses engineered for heavy-duty use, with weight capacities up to 1000 lbs and advanced pressure-relief technologies tailored for obese and immobile patients.
