What is a Bariatric mattress?

A bariatric mattress is a specialized mattress designed to support individuals who are severely overweight or obese. Bariatric mattresses are designed to distribute body weight evenly and reduce pressure points, helping to prevent bed sores and other complications associated with obesity. These mattresses are typically made from high-density foam or gel and provide additional support and cushioning for heavy individuals. Bariatric mattresses are often used in hospitals, nursing homes, and long-term care facilities.
