Built for real life
What stands out
●
A memory foam heel section
The foot of the mattress is soft viscoelastic foam that slopes, which takes pressure off the heels.
●
A firm edge
A rim of high density foam keeps the edge stable when a person sits on it or gets in and out of bed.
●
A top layer cut in zones
The cuts let the foam give where the body presses and let air move across the surface.
●
It bends with the bed
Cuts run the full width of the base, so the mattress follows the bed when the head or knees are raised.
The Hieline Take
The Defend is the first PrevaMatt with the features that set the range apart from a plain foam slab. It has two layers, a top layer cut into zones, a firm perimeter that holds the edge when a person sits on it, and a heel section in soft memory foam that slopes away from the heels. It carries 500 lbs., where the PrevaMatt Basic carries 300 lbs. and has none of those features. What the Defend does not have is memory foam under the body. That starts with the PrevaMatt Console. The Defend is the step in the range that adds the firm edge, the heel slope and the 500 lbs. rating to a foam mattress. Joerns lists it for prevention through Stage 1 pressure injuries. It comes in the 80" length only, with no raised perimeter option.

What voids itRemoving the manufacturer's tag from the mattress
This product cannot be returned
Mattresses cannot be returned. A mattress goes straight onto a bed somebody sleeps in, so once it has left us we cannot put it back into stock. If it arrives damaged or is not what you ordered, tell us within 48 hours and we will put it right at no cost to you, and the manufacturer warranty still applies.
If something goes wrong
Call us first at 1-855-HIELINE. We file the claim with Joerns Healthcare for you and get the covered part sorted out rather than handing you a phone number.
Match the deck of the bed. 35" x 80" suits a standard homecare or long-term care bed, and 42" x 80" is for a frame that has been widened to 42".
Will it fit my bed?
Measure the deck of the bed first. The 35" width fits a standard homecare or long-term care bed, and the 42" width is for a frame that has been widened. Joerns says its PrevaMatt mattresses meet the FDA and Hospital Bed Safety Workgroup entrapment guidance when they are used on a Joerns bed frame. On another maker's bed, check the gaps at the rails and the bed ends once the mattress is on.
How much weight does it hold?
500 lbs. That is the rating of the mattress alone. The person, the mattress and anything else on the bed must still stay within the limit of the bed frame.
How is it different from the PrevaMatt Console?
The Defend has memory foam in the heel section only. The Console has a memory foam top layer over the whole mattress, and it also comes in an 84" length and with a raised perimeter. Both have the firm perimeter and carry 500 lbs.
Does it come in an 84" length?
No. The Defend is 80" long. The PrevaMatt Console and the PrevaMatt Alleviate come in 84".
Does it need a pump or power?
No. It is a foam mattress with nothing to plug in.
What is the warranty?
Joerns covers the foam mattress against defects in materials and workmanship for 5 years and the cover for 1 year. The warranty is prorated, and it is void if the manufacturer's tag is removed. Foam compressing with use is normal and is not a defect.
Can I return it?
No. Mattresses cannot be returned, because a mattress goes straight onto a bed somebody sleeps in. If it arrives damaged or is not what you ordered, tell us within 48 hours and we will put it right at no cost to you.
