The Joerns PrevaMatt Defend Pressure Relief Mattress delivers clinically designed pressure redistribution and supportive comfort to help prevent pressure injuries and enhance patient well-being. Featuring a dual-layer foam construction with strategically placed multi-zone and thatched surface cuts, it promotes effective weight distribution and reduces stress on vulnerable areas, while a viscoelastic heel zone with integrated heel slope gently offloads pressure from sensitive heels. The mattress also includes a firm perimeter for stable edge support and a durable two-way stretch cover that minimizes shear and friction, supports hygiene, and accommodates up to 500 lb, making it suitable for a wide range of care settings where safety, comfort, and long-lasting performance are priorities.

Articulation Cuts: Articulation cuts run the full width of the mattress, allowing the mattress to move in harmony with the bed frame, reducing friction and shear on resident skin and increasing product life cycle.

Heel Zone: Specialized heel zone designed to protect sensitive heels through the incorporation of softer foam material and heel slope. Integrated heel slope provides a gentle tapering of the mattress that redistributes pressure along the lower legs while reducing pressure in the delicate heel section.

Firm Perimeter: The firm perimeter consists of a high-density foam outer rim that can help reduce the risk of falls by providing stability as the resident sits on the edge of the bed or during ingress/egress. The firm perimeter may also contribute to compliance with the FDA Guidelines Entrapment Zone 1.

Raised Perimeter: The raised perimeter can aid in fall prevention by providing added security for the patient when side rails are not used. In cases where the mattress surface is low relative to the bottom of the side rail, the added mattress height helps close the gap and reduce the risk of entrapment.

Flat Surface: The flat surface option provides a smooth, consistent pressure-relief mattress surface that evenly redistributes weight to help reduce pressure points and support patient comfort during routine care and repositioning.
