Description
The Drive Gravity 8 Deluxe Foam Mattress steps up from the Gravity 7 with a sloped, channel-cut heel section and a 400 lb capacity: three layers of latex-free foam, a die-cut top, and a 10 year foam warranty — in three lengths, with an elevated perimeter at 80 inches.
- Die-cut top layer – zoned pressure redistribution across the full width
- Sloped heel section – channel-cut foam center offloads vulnerable heels
- 400 lb capacity – a step up from the Gravity 7's 350 lb
- High-density foam perimeter – solid edge support for safer transfers
- Articulation cuts – the base flexes with adjustable bed decks
- 10 year foam warranty – three more years of coverage than the Gravity 7
The Deluxe Step in the Gravity Line
The Gravity 8 Deluxe keeps the Gravity formula — three full layers of latex-free foam, a die-cut top layer for zoned redistribution, and full-length articulation cuts in the base — and upgrades the two things long-term-care buyers feel: the heel and the rating. Its heel section slopes downward with a channel-cut center that cradles heels in a lower-pressure zone, and the family is rated to 400 lb. The standard perimeter is high-density foam for firm transfer edges; at the 80 inch length, an elevated-perimeter version adds a raised boundary. The cover is a fluid-resistant stretch nylon top over a waterproof vinyl bottom, and the mattress meets CFR 1632 and 1633 flammability standards.

Manuals and Troubleshooting Guides
Frequently Asked Questions
How is the Gravity 8 different from the Gravity 7?
Three upgrades: a sloped, channel-cut heel section instead of a visco heel, a 400 lb capacity instead of 350 lb, and a 10 year foam warranty instead of 7 years.
Why is the elevated perimeter only offered at 80 inches?
That is how Drive builds the family — the elevated-perimeter model exists at the 80 in length only. The 76 and 84 in lengths are standard perimeter.
Does the Gravity 8 need a pump or power?
No. It is a foam mattress with nothing to plug in, inflate, or maintain.
Will it bend with an adjustable bed?
Yes. Full-length articulation cuts in the base layer let it flex as the head and knee sections rise.
How does the heel section help?
It slopes down with a channel-cut center, so heels rest in a softer, lower-pressure zone instead of on flat foam.
How do I clean it?
The stretch cover wipes down in place; the fluid-resistant top and waterproof vinyl bottom protect the foam core from spills.
What warranty does it carry?
Drive covers the foam for 10 years and the cover for 3 years under its limited warranty.
