The Invacare Softform Premier MaxiGlide high specification foam mattress offers a new and innovative glide mechanism that significantly reduces shear and friction forces when used with an electric profiling bed.
The patented design of the mattress allows the top surface to provide excellent pressure redistributing properties along with a high level of comfort and support, whilst the base of the mattress uniquely separates to conform to the bedframe.The Softform Premier MaxiGlide is suitable for use with those who are considered to be at ‘Very High Risk’ of developing pressure ulcers.
Effective pressure ulcer prevention
The Softform Premier MaxiGlide features a deep-contoured insert pad constructed from ‘keyhole’ cut castellated foam cells that move independently to maximise the body contact area and optimise pressure reduction.
Reduces the need for manual handling
The profiling mattress maximises the benefits of an electric profiling bed, delivering improved positioning whilst reducing the requirement for repositioning of the client.
Multi-stretch cover
The mattress cover is multi-stretch and conforms to the deep contoured castellations on the upper surface of the mattress, minimising rucking and further reducing the potential for tissue damage.
Features:
Patented design
The “Glide” mattress system is only available from Invacare and approved distributors.
Modular construction
Enables easy replacement of all parts, increasing product longevity.
Pressure ulcer prevention
The mattress provides an excellent pressure reducing surface, designed to maximise the body contact area and help prevent the causes of pressure ulcers.
Cover is resistant to fluid ingress
Features include two-way stretch, vapour-permeable and waterproof polyurethane cover with high frequency welded seams and a full length flap concealing the zip.
Fully detachable top cover and toughened polyurethane base
The toughened PU coated base protects the mattress against metal bed frames. The top cover is easily removed for laundering and foam inspection.
Does not require turning or rotating
Mattress does not require turning or rotating, significantly reducing manual handling risk.
Optional Strikethrough Resistant Technology (SRT)
Cover made from a highly chemically resistant polyurethane polymer making it much more resistant to abrasion and damage. The life of the cover is increased as it is significantly more durable in an acute healthcare environment.

Essential nursing care is pivotal in pressure ulcer prevention. This mattress will positively contribute to the outcome of a pressure ulcer prevention care plan. Education, clinical judgement and action based planning based on vulnerability are fundamental factors in the prevention of pressure ulcers. A range of assessment scales can be used as a formal method of assessing risk from pressure ulcer development, and should be used in conjunction with an informal assessment (informed nursing judgement). Informal assessment is considered to be of greater importance and clinical value. Manufactured to European Standards: Interior Foam: BS 5852 Crib 5, Cover: BS 7175 Crib 5.
