Gravity 7 Pressure Redistribution Mattress

The Gravity 7 mattress is built for one job that matters enormously to bedridden patients and the people caring for them: protecting skin over long hours of immobility. As part of the 7 Series support surface line, it uses a foam construction engineered to redistribute pressure across bony prominences — the heels, sacrum, and hips where pressure injuries most often begin — helping to prevent breakdown before it starts.

What sets this model apart is the raised (contoured) side rails. These built-in perimeter bolsters create a firmer edge around the mattress, which serves two purposes families ask about most often. First, they help patients feel secure and reduce the sense of rolling toward the edge during repositioning. Second, they provide a more stable surface for sitting on the bed's edge and for safe transfers in and out of bed — an everyday concern for anyone using a wheelchair or walker alongside the bed.

We carry the Gravity 7 with Raised Side Rails in models 15785 and 15876, so you can match the mattress to your specific bed frame dimensions. Both are designed for standard home care and long-term care bed frames and are suited to patients at moderate to high risk of pressure ulcers who spend the majority of their time in bed.

If your care needs call for a higher level of pressure management or a different weight capacity, it's worth comparing this model against the Gravity 9, which sits at the upper end of the same support-surface family. Choosing between them usually comes down to the patient's risk level, mobility, and how much time is spent lying down each day.
