Invacare Essential Foam Mattress 36x84x6
The Invacare Essential Foam Mattress is a medical-grade support surface built for long-term care environments. Its 5 Fortress Shaped Cells target pressure redistribution to reduce skin stress during extended bed rest. The 6-inch profile fits standard hospital bed frames measuring 36 by 84 inches. This mattress serves patients up to 250 pounds requiring firm, consistent support.
Upgrading from basic foam or worn overlays
Replacing a standard flat foam pad with this model adds structured pressure relief through the Fortress cell geometry and a full anti-slip bottom that prevents shifting on adjustable frames. The jump is worth it when patients spend most of the day in bed and need durable, fluid-resistant materials. Facilities replacing aged mattresses that have lost firmness or cover integrity gain a washable, latex-free system made in the USA.
Check bed frame dimensions and patient weight
Verify the frame measures exactly 84 inches long by 36 inches wide to match the mattress footprint. Confirm the patient weight does not exceed the 250-pound limit for the 34 IFD firmness rating. Ensure the care team can manage the 32.9-pound weight for cover removal and machine washing. No electrical components or batteries are involved.

Questions about this item
Will the 36 x 84 inch footprint fit my hospital bed frame?
The mattress measures 84 inches long by 36 inches wide and 6 inches thick, matching standard hospital bed dimensions for a direct fit.
How do I install the cover after cleaning, and what step is often missed?
Machine wash the removable cover, then zip the flat concealed zipper fully closed and ensure the non-skid vinyl bottom contacts the frame to engage the full anti-slip surface.
When should the 1.8 density foam core be replaced?
Replace the foam core if it no longer springs back to 6 inches thick, shows permanent impressions, or if the cover seams or fluid-resistant coating become compromised.
