The Premium Gel Foam Overlay by Medline lays nicely on hospital bed mattress as a preventative measure for patients who are susceptible to pressure ulcers. The overlay mattress topper is designed for a weight capacity up to 300 pounds. The construction is to improve the patient's circulation and redistribute pressure, especially at bony parts of the body most vulnerable to bed sores. It accomplishes this by embedding three gel packs at the foot, middle torso and upper torso sections. The foam overlay is surrounded by convoluted high-density foam and is 16 percent thicker than Medline's standard gel foam overlay. It has a surrounding water-resistant nylon top cover that's gentle to the skin and the bottom vinyl material is skid-resistant with four elastic bands at each corner to help it stay securely in place.
