Mattress Overlays

Why choose an overlay instead of a mattress?

Alternating pressure pads and foam or gel mattress overlays are a less costly alternative to mattress replacement systems and attach to an existing hospital style bed mattress. 

All these overlays are recommended for the elderly, infirm and handicapped, especially for those who spend a good time in bed but can't afford the more expensive air and foam mattress options.

Alternating Pressure Pad Systems

The alternating pressure pad systems are designed to aid in the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers (also called bed sores) by alternately inflating and deflating air cells in the mattress overlay or pad in a regular cyclical pattern. This offers pressure relief and improved air circulation, allowing air to reach the skin and preventing sweat build up.

Low Air Loss Design

Some overlays also include a "low air loss" design which helps prevent and treat existing pressure ulcers. A low air loss mattress is essentially an air mattress covered with tiny holes. These holes are designed to let out air very slowly which helps keep the skin dry and wicks away any moisture, thus maintaining an aerated, dry sleeping surface to prevent skin moisture build up between the body and mattress. 

These overlays are for those at a greater risk of developing bed sores or already have them. 

Gel Overlays

Gel overlays are best for patients who have a lower risk for developing pressure ulcers, or those who have only superficial bedsores. 

How much is shipping?
Shipping is free in the Continental USA for all commodes and other products. Please contact us if you require shipping to Alaska or Hawaii.

What if I don't like it? What is your return policy?
Some products by law cannot be returned for hygienic reasons. For all others, we offer a 30-day return policy on most products. Damaged product may be returned and exchanged at no cost to you. All others will be shipped at the customer’s expense to the least costly location. A 15-20% restocking fee will also apply depending on the item. See our Policy page for more information.

You said you will match price if I found a cheaper price elsewhere. What do I need to do to get that low price?
Thank you for wanting to do business with us! This is explained in detail on our Policy page. First though, we like to advise customers that there may be hidden costs at other shopping sites such as shipping or tax. Or perhaps what you're looking at may not include options we include. Be sure you are comparing apples to oranges!

Do you bill Medicare?
In order to keep our costs down and offer greatly reduced prices, ADHME does not bill any insurance company. However, for certain products that Medicare may partially reimburse on a purchase (i.e., commodes, lift chairs, walkers and rollators), we do provide a detailed paid invoice which will include any product HCPCS billing codes. We suggest checking with your private insurance company about possible reimbursement from them with your paid receipt.
