SafetyCare Fall Protection Mats

When a bed exit puts a patient or loved one at risk, the floor is where injuries happen. SafetyCare fall protection products from Drive DeVilbiss Healthcare are built to soften that impact, giving caregivers a practical layer of protection alongside bed rails, alarms, and low-height beds. This collection focuses on bedside cushioning designed for the moment a fall is most likely — during transfers and unassisted attempts to stand.

The Drive DeVilbiss SafetyCare Floor Mat (7094) is a one-piece polyurethane mat measuring 36 x 66 inches with a 2-inch thickness, sized to cover the full length of a standard bedside. Its beveled edges lie flush against the floor to reduce trip hazards, so the mat that protects against falls doesn't create a new one. The seamless polyurethane construction wipes clean easily and resists fluid penetration, an important detail in rooms where spills and incontinence are routine and infection control matters.

Caregivers often ask how thick a bedside fall mat should be: a 2-inch profile like this one balances meaningful cushioning against fall impact with a low enough height that it stays easy to walk over and simple to reposition. The blue color makes the mat clearly visible against most flooring, a helpful visual cue for both staff and residents. It suits home bedrooms, assisted living rooms, memory care units, and hospital settings where patients are assessed as a fall risk.

A floor mat is one part of a broader fall-prevention plan. Pair it with the right supportive equipment to build a safer bedside environment.
