Description
The Blake gel infused foam overlay is a 2 in gel-infused memory foam sheet that sits on an existing foam mattress. It is not a full replacement. Westin Healthcare sells the 60 x 80 in code GIO6080, delivers it, and places it on the mattress you already have for homes in Brampton and the Greater Toronto Area.
Blake's live foam overlay page says the overlay is for prevention and maintenance of skin health and the treatment of early stage, non-complex pressure injuries. The 2021 overlays brochure uses the same early-stage wording. If the foam underneath is worn out, buy a replacement such as the Blake Infusion mattress instead of stacking foam on a failed core. Blake's Geo-Matrix gel overlay (GMO) is a different product: 1.5 in dry-polymer gel, sold here as the Geo-Matrix gel overlay.
Who this mattress is for
This overlay is for a person who already has a usable 60 inch foam hospital mattress and whose clinician has asked for a 2 in gel-infused foam layer on top for early-stage, non-complex skin care. It suits home care when a full Infusion or G-series replacement is not yet needed.
Families usually call us when a 60 inch foam still has life in it but the surface needs a cooler, more immersive top. Do not put this overlay on slats or on a spring deck. It needs a foam mattress under it, and that foam must be 60 inches wide.
- On a 60 inch foam that already sits on a matching 60 inch bariatric deck
- When the clinician has named early-stage, non-complex care, not a powered surface
- When you want gel-infused foam, not Geo-Matrix dry gel
Construction and how it works
The GIO overlay is a non-powered foam overlay. Blake's live foam overlay page lists construction as gel infused memory foam, height 2 inches, and a 4-way stretch, antimicrobial, fluid-proof, wipeable cover. The 2021 overlays brochure repeats the 2 in gel-infused memory foam build and adds a Cal. Bulletin 117 fire-retardant cover.
This is not Geo-Matrix gel. There is no pump. The overlay straps onto the existing foam.
Blake gel infused foam overlay specifications
These figures are for Westin SKU GIO6080. The specification tab holds the stored values. Blake's live foam overlay page lists height 2 inches, product code GIO(W x D), and standard sizes 36, 39, 42, 54, and 60 by 80 inches. The brochure also names 48 by 80 inches. We sell the 60 by 80 inch code here.
Blake's live GIO card does not print a weight capacity. We do not invent one. Ask us to confirm capacity with Blake for the person in the bed.
Size we stock
This card is GIO6080 only: 60 inches wide by 80 inches long by 2 inches high. Match the overlay to the foam underneath, not to a wider deck. Blake also lists 36, 39, 42, and 54 inch standard widths. We do not stock those codes on this template. If you need 36 inch gel instead, see the Geo-Matrix gel overlay.
Funding help for a therapeutic mattress in Ontario
Ontario's Assistive Devices Program (ADP) does not cover hospital beds or mattresses, so plan around other routes. Funding that may help instead: March of Dimes Canada, Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC), and community programs. Westin Healthcare's staff work with these programs every week and will point you to the right route for your situation. Visit our funding page or call (905) 451-7743 to talk it through before you buy.
Delivery and setup in Brampton and the GTA
Westin's own team delivers and sets up this overlay across Brampton and the Greater Toronto Area. We bring it in, place it on the existing foam mattress, and show you how it sits before we leave.
We have three stores in the Brampton and Toronto area if you would rather see the overlay first. For a scheduled in-home setup, call (905) 451-7743 and we will book the next date that works. Same-day delivery is offered through our hospital bed rental service; purchased surfaces are delivered and set up on a scheduled date.
Hospital mattresses and overlays are oversized. The Canada-wide free ground-shipping offer on smaller goods does not apply. If the overlay is going outside the GTA, ask us for a freight quote. Inside Toronto and the GTA, White-Glove Delivery (bring-in, unwrap, test, take packaging away) is described on the shipping policy. Any charge is confirmed on your order.
Which Westin beds this mattress fits
The overlay does not sit on the bed frame. It sits on a 60 inch foam mattress that already fits the frame. Add the 2 inch overlay height when you check side rails. Westin does not list a 60 inch homecare deck on the sibling bed list used for this wave. Call (905) 451-7743 and we will match the foam and the frame. A narrower 36 inch stack on the Drive Delta 1000 needs a 36 inch overlay, not GIO6080.
Service and warranty
When something on the overlay needs work, you call the shop that set it up. Westin Healthcare has a service and repairs department. Our technicians come to the home or workplace.
Blake Medical manufacturer warranty
Blake's 2021 overlays brochure states 2 years on the foam overlay and 1 year on the cover. The live foam overlay landing does not reprint a warranty line. We handle the warranty claim with you. Ask us if an extended warranty is offered for your order.
