Description
The Lumex Select Foam 150 Mattress adds firm side rails and a soft heel section to the Select Foam design, rated for 400 lb. Its stretch urethane and vinyl cover reduces shear while protecting the foam.
- Firm side rails for edge support
- Soft heel section
- 400 lb capacity
- Stretch urethane/vinyl cover
- 35 in and 42 in widths, 80 in long
The LS150 is Select Foam with the details clinicians ask for. Firm side rails keep the edge honest when a patient sits to transfer, addressing a real fall mechanism. The soft heel section relieves the body's most vulnerable pressure point without a separate heel device. A stretch urethane top reduces the shear that damages skin during repositioning. Capacity rises to 400 lb in both the 35 in and 42 in widths. For higher-risk foam patients, it is the tier that makes sense.

Why Choose the Lumex Select Foam 150 Mattress?
The LS150's upgrades each map to a clinical problem. Facilities buying foam for higher-risk patients will recognize the list and the logic.
- Edge safety – Firm rails support sitting and transfers – A documented fall factor is engineered against
- Heel relief built in – Soft heel zone without extra devices – One less accessory to buy and lose
- Shear reduction – Stretch cover moves with repositioning – Skin protection is in the surface, not an add-on
Frequently Asked Questions
What do the firm side rails do?
They firm the mattress edge for sitting and transfers, and help keep the patient centered. Edge collapse is a fall factor, rails address it.
What is the soft heel section?
A softer zone under the heels, where skin breaks down fastest. The LS150 builds heel relief into the foam instead of adding a separate device.
What capacity applies?
400 lb, a step above the LS100's 350 lb. Both widths carry the rating.
What cover material is used?
Stretch urethane and vinyl per the care instructions for the series. The stretch top reduces shear against the skin.
Who steps up from the LS100?
Heavier patients and those at higher skin risk. The rails and heel zone are the clinical reasons, the capacity is the sizing one.
