Description
The Lumex Mattress Overlays add pressure redistribution over an existing mattress, in a 36 in foam and gel build rated 275 lb and a 42 in gel build from the Lightest line. They upgrade a bed without replacing its mattress.
- Foam/gel overlay 36 x 80 x 3 in, 275 lb
- Gel overlay 42 x 80 x 4 in
- Upgrades existing mattresses
- Deploys in minutes
- Home care and facility use
Overlays exist for the beds a program already owns. The 36 in foam and gel overlay adds a 3 in pressure redistributing layer rated 275 lb over a standard mattress, the 42 in gel overlay from Lumex's Lightest line covers wide beds at 4 in. Neither replaces a failed mattress, both assume a sound base and raise its pressure care level in minutes. For home care especially, that speed and simplicity are the argument.
Features and Benefits
Overlay Builds
Two constructions cover standard and wide beds. The overlay category is about upgrading what is already on the frame, and both builds serve that brief differently.

- Two constructions – Foam/gel standard and gel wide – The size matrix matches the bed fleet
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an overlay for?
An overlay upgrades an existing mattress with a pressure redistributing top layer, without replacing the mattress. It is the step between a bare mattress and a full powered surface.
What is the difference between the two builds?
The 36 in build is foam and gel at 3 in thick with a stated 275 lb capacity. The 42 in build is the gel overlay at 4 in in the Lightest gel line. Size, construction and thickness all differ, as labeled.
Does an overlay replace a mattress?
No. It works on top of a sound mattress. A failed or bottomed out mattress needs replacement, not an overlay.
Who uses overlays?
Home care and facilities raising the pressure care level of existing beds quickly. Overlays deploy in minutes and store flat.
Which line is the 42 in build in?
Lumex's Lightest gel overlay line, per the Graham-Field page title for the model. Light weight is that line's design brief.
