It uses a 3-layer latex-free foam system with a zoned top layer to help distribute pressure more evenly while keeping a stable surface that feels predictable for repositioning. A dedicated heel slope and channel-cut foam under the foot section are designed to help reduce concentrated pressure at the heels. The mattress also includes a fluid-resistant, low-shear cover for easier wipe-down care, plus a waterproof vinyl bottom that holds up well in real home care routines.
