The BodyZone™ mattress replacement system represents the highest level of technology, performance, and value in the medical bedding marketplace, because it is the pinnacle product in our catalog. We are the innovation leader in engineering, and the largest supplier of cushioning products and mattresses for the medical bedding industry.
The superior pressure ulcer prevention of the BodyZone™ mattress starts with the foam itself. BodyZone™ is constructed from a revolutionary, new, 3rd generation memory foam. This all-natural foam is significantly denser than previous generations of foam (providing increased comfort), while also being more permeable than traditional visco. Its wide-open cell design improves "breathability" and has already set a new standard for temperature and moisture management.
Surface Modification Technology SMTSM is our patented post-production process that allows us to alter foam five different ways, providing customized solutions for any industry need. In the BodyZone™ system, we use SMTSM to enhance the comfort and performance of our new 3rd generation foam. SMTSM allows us to create the multi-zone construction of BodyZone™ that alternates firm support and pressure redistribution precisely where it’s needed. This not only augments ulcer protection, it also provides better spinal alignment for patients. In laboratory testing, SMTSM improved pressure redistribution by a significant amount.
Our innovation doesn’t stop at the top foam layer; each BodyZone™ mattress is topped with a unique 360° stretch cover that glides gently in any direction to minimize friction and shear forces when a patient is turned or moved. Both the cover and mattress core are antimicrobially treated, and are impervious to fluids. In the BodyZone™ 500, BodyZone™ 700, and BodyZone™ 1000 mattresses, an additional top layer of SMTSM foam, MicrospringSM, is added to further enhance patient comfort and reduce friction and shear.
