Span America Pressure Redistribution Overlays & Bed Support Products

Span America builds the kind of foam support surfaces and bed safety products that show up in nursing facilities, rehab units, and home care rooms where pressure injury prevention matters. If you're shopping this line, you're likely managing skin integrity for someone who spends significant time in bed — and you want a surface that redistributes pressure, breathes, and stands up to daily use without breaking a facility budget.

The core of the collection is convoluted (egg-crate) foam. The Span America Convoluted Foam Overlay (SP45S-000) is a 4-inch, 34 x 72-inch surface rated for a 200–250 lb capacity, sized to lay over a standard mattress and cushion bony prominences at the sacrum, heels, and shoulders. Lighter-profile options like the Convoluted Mattress Overlay (SP35S-000) and the Convoluted Overlay (SP27S-000) give you a range of thicknesses so you can match the surface to the patient's risk level and mobility. The Convoluted Pad (SP32R-000 and SP50S-000) works well for chairs, recliners, and shorter-duration positioning.

A common question: convoluted overlays ship without a cover, so plan to pair them with a moisture-resistant cover or a bed pad such as the Span America Bed Pad (SP22R-000) for incontinence protection and easier cleaning. The peaks and valleys of the foam are what redistribute weight and allow air to circulate, so covering with something breathable preserves that benefit.

Beyond support surfaces, the Span America Assist Pivot Bed Side Rail (RR939) adds a stable grab point for repositioning, transfers, and getting in and out of bed safely — a practical companion for the same at-risk patients these overlays serve.

Span America products fit into a broader landscape of medical equipment brands we carry, including Beurer North America and CME America LLC.
