Medacure Defined Perimeter Mattress Cover – Foam Bolsters That Help Keep Patients Safely in Bed
The Medacure defined perimeter mattress cover turns a standard hospital bed mattress into a safer surface for patients who roll toward the edge or try to get up on their own. Soft foam bolsters are built into the long sides of the cover, with an opening in the middle for getting in and out. Choosing the mattress underneath? See our hospital bed mattress buying guide and the medical mattress knowledge base.
As a fall prevention mattress cover, it defines the edges of the bed without the confinement of full side rails. It works on standard foam and air mattresses and secures with a strap and clips to the mattress and the bed sheet.
Caregivers looking for a mattress cover with bolsters can choose 36″, 42″ or 48″ widths to match standard and bariatric beds. Questions about fit? Call us at 585-505-6665.
✅ Key Features
- ✔️ Built-In Foam Bolster Perimeter
- ✔️ Helps Prevent Rolling Out of Bed
- ✔️ Open Mid-Section for Side Egress
- ✔️ Fits Air or Foam Mattresses
- ✔️ Strap and Clips Keep It in Place
- ✔️ 36″, 42″ or 48″ x 80″ Sizes
Why Choose a Perimeter Cover?
Full length side rails can be a hazard for some patients: confused patients may try to climb over them, and gaps between rail and mattress can trap a limb. A perimeter cover takes a different approach. Soft foam bolsters along each long edge raise the sides of the sleep surface a few inches, so a patient who rolls toward the edge feels it and stops. Because it is built into the cover, it moves with the mattress and does not leave a gap.
Who Is It Best For?
- Patients who tend to roll toward the edge of the bed
- Patients prone to getting out of bed unassisted
- Facilities reducing the use of full side rails
- Home caregivers who want an extra layer of fall prevention at night
- Standard 36″ beds and 42″ or 48″ bariatric beds
Compare surfaces with the hospital bed mattress assessment tool.
Who May Need Something Else?
- Patients on a powered air system who need built-in air bolsters: an air mattress with an integrated air perimeter may suit them better.
- Patients who need full rails for repositioning: use the rails the care plan calls for.
- Gaps at the head or foot: add a Medacure mattress extender.
Built-In Foam Bolsters
Soft foam bolster cushions run along the edges and are integrated into the cover. They define the edge of the bed comfortably, without hard bars against the patient’s skin, and they cannot be left down by mistake the way a rail can.
Side Egress Opening
The bolsters are open in the mid-section. That opening is where the patient sits up and swings their legs out, and where caregivers slide a transfer board or position a wheelchair or lift.
Fits Air or Foam Mattresses
Medacure designed the cover as a universal fit for standard foam and air mattresses. Eight buckled straps with safety clips, four on each side, secure it to the mattress and bed sheet, so it stays aligned when the head of the bed is raised.
Sizes
| Medacure Item # | Dimensions | Fits |
| UC36-P | 36″ x 80″ x 8″ | Standard 36″ x 80″ mattresses |
| UC42-P | 42″ x 80″ x 10″ | 42″ bariatric mattresses |
| UC48-P | 48″ x 80″ x 10″ | 48″ bariatric mattresses |
Fitting the Cover
Lay the cover over the mattress with the bolsters on the long sides and the egress openings at the patient’s mid-section. Fasten the strap and clips to the mattress and sheet, then raise and lower the head section once to check that the cover stays in place. Make the bed with a sheet loose enough not to flatten the bolsters.
Care
Wipe the nylon cover with a mild disinfectant between patients and after spills. Inspect the bolsters and fasteners regularly and replace the cover if it tears.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a defined perimeter mattress cover?
It is a mattress cover with raised foam bolsters built into its long edges. The bolsters give the patient a clear sense of where the bed ends, which helps keep them from rolling or sliding off, without using confining side rails.
Does it work on an air mattress?
Yes. Medacure says the cover can be used on all mattresses, air or foam. It secures to the mattress and the bed sheet with a strap and clips.
Which size do I need?
Match the mattress: UC36-P fits 36″ x 80″ mattresses up to about 8″ high, UC42-P fits 42″ x 80″ bariatric mattresses and UC48-P fits 48″ x 80″ bariatric mattresses, both sized for surfaces around 10″ high.
Can the patient still get in and out of bed?
Yes. The bolsters are open in the mid-section on the side, so the patient can sit up and exit, and caregivers can transfer them, without climbing over a bolster.
Is it a restraint?
No. A defined perimeter defines the edge of the sleep surface; it does not hold the patient in. That is why many facilities use it for fall risk patients instead of full side rails. Follow your facility’s fall prevention plan for each patient.
How do I clean it?
The nylon cover wipes clean with a mild disinfectant. Let it dry before making the bed.
Should I also use a fall mat?
For patients at high risk of falling, many care teams pair a perimeter cover with a low bed and a bedside fall mat. The cover helps prevent rolling out; the mat reduces injury if a fall happens.

Shipping & Returns
Shipping & Return Policy
At MedCare Mobility, we understand that purchasing medical and mobility equipment is an important decision. Our goal is to make the ordering, delivery, and return process as clear and straightforward as possible.
Because many of the products we offer are large, specialized, or shipped directly from manufacturer and distributor warehouses, shipping and return requirements may vary somewhat by product and brand. The policy below explains what you can generally expect when ordering from MedCare Mobility.
Shipping & Order Processing
We ship medical and mobility equipment to customers throughout the United States. Orders are processed as quickly as possible, and tracking information is provided once available.
Processing Time
Most in-stock orders are processed within approximately 1–3 business days. Processing may include order verification, warehouse preparation, packaging, and coordination with the manufacturer or distributor.
Some specialty equipment, made-to-order products, oversized items, or products shipping directly from a manufacturer may require additional processing time. Any estimated processing or lead time shown on an individual product page should be considered part of the expected fulfillment timeframe for that item.
Transit & Delivery Time
Once shipped, many standard orders arrive within approximately 3–7 business days. Larger medical equipment, freight shipments, specialty products, and certain manufacturer-direct orders may require additional transit time.
Tracking information will generally be emailed once the shipment has been processed by the carrier. If you have questions regarding the status of your order, please contact us at info@medcaremobility.com.
Alaska, Hawaii & Special Shipping Areas
Orders shipping to Alaska, Hawaii, and certain remote or limited-access areas may be subject to additional shipping charges. If an additional charge is required after your order is reviewed, we will contact you before proceeding whenever additional payment is necessary.
Freight & Oversized Equipment
Hospital beds, patient lifts, large recliners, ramps, and other oversized medical equipment may ship by freight rather than standard parcel service. Unless a specific delivery service is stated on the product page or order, freight delivery does not automatically include inside delivery, assembly, installation, or removal of packaging.
30-Day Return Policy
We want you to feel comfortable ordering from MedCare Mobility. Most eligible products may be returned when a return is requested within 30 days of delivery, subject to the conditions and exclusions outlined below.
Eligible products generally include:
- Electric and power wheelchairs
- Manual and lightweight wheelchairs
- Mobility scooters
- Walkers and rollators
- Patient lifts
- Wheelchair ramps
- Hospital and homecare beds
- Eligible medical mattresses
- Geriatric and medical recliner chairs
- Overbed tables
- Bathroom benches and shower chairs
- Other eligible medical and mobility equipment
Return eligibility can vary by manufacturer and product type. Products specifically identified as non-returnable, custom, made-to-order, or otherwise subject to special return terms are governed by those terms.
Return Authorization
Please contact us before shipping any product back. Returns must first be approved and issued a Return Authorization (RA) and the appropriate return shipping address.
You may request a return by emailing info@medcaremobility.com or contacting our customer service team through the live chat on our website.
Please do not return merchandise to an address shown on the original shipping label unless specifically instructed to do so. Many products ship directly from manufacturer or distributor warehouses, and the correct return location may be different from the original shipping location.
Condition of Returned Merchandise
To qualify for a return and refund, the product must be returned:
- In brand-new and unused condition
- In its complete original manufacturer packaging
- With all manuals, components, hardware, accessories, and included materials
- Without damage, modification, assembly wear, stains, odors, or other signs of use
- In resalable condition upon inspection by the receiving warehouse or manufacturer
We strongly recommend keeping the original box, pallet, protective materials, and packaging until you are certain that you intend to keep the equipment. Large medical equipment can be difficult or impossible to return safely without its original packaging.
Restocking Fees
Approved returns are subject to a mandatory restocking fee, generally ranging from 15% to 20% of the applicable product price. The exact restocking percentage varies depending on the manufacturer, brand, and type of equipment being returned.
These restocking charges are assessed to us by the manufacturer or distributing warehouse when merchandise is returned. MedCare Mobility does not add the fee simply as a return penalty; when the manufacturer requires the charge, we must pass the applicable amount through as part of processing the return.
If you would like to know the applicable restocking percentage for a particular product before ordering, please contact us and we will be happy to help whenever that information is available from the manufacturer.
Return Shipping & Shipping Charges
The customer is responsible for shipping charges associated with the order when making a standard return.
Customers are responsible for arranging for the approved merchandise to be returned to the return address provided with the Return Authorization. In certain cases, we may be able to provide a prepaid return label or coordinate return transportation for your convenience. When provided, the applicable shipping cost may be deducted from the final refund.
Because some medical equipment is oversized or requires freight transportation, prepaid labels or carrier call tags may not be available for every product. Our customer service team will provide the available return instructions when your return is authorized.
Non-Returnable Products
For health, hygiene, safety, customization, and manufacturer-policy reasons, certain products are not eligible for standard returns.
We currently do not accept returns on:
- Parts & accessories
- Wheelchair cushions and support accessories
- Patient lift slings
- Custom or made-to-order products
- Products specifically identified as non-returnable on the product page
If a non-returnable product arrives damaged, defective, or incorrect, please contact us promptly. Non-returnable status does not prevent us from assisting with a legitimate shipping damage, defect, warranty, or fulfillment issue in accordance with the applicable manufacturer and carrier procedures.
Damaged or Incorrect Orders
We take shipping damage seriously and will work with you to help resolve legitimate delivery issues.
If your product arrives damaged, please notify MedCare Mobility within 48 hours of delivery. Whenever possible, retain the shipping carton, pallet, packaging materials, and the product exactly as received and take clear photographs of the packaging and any visible damage.
Reporting damage promptly is important because carriers and manufacturers have limited timeframes for filing freight and shipping claims.
If you receive an incorrect product or believe there is a manufacturer defect, please contact us before returning or disposing of any merchandise or packaging so that we can provide the appropriate instructions.
Refused Deliveries
Please contact us before refusing a delivery unless the shipment has obvious significant freight damage and the carrier is documenting the damage at delivery.
A shipment that is refused for reasons unrelated to verified shipping damage may be treated as a standard return. Applicable restocking and shipping charges may therefore be deducted from the refund.
Return Shipping Deadline
Once a return has been approved and return instructions or a return label have been issued, the merchandise must be shipped within 72 hours unless MedCare Mobility provides different instructions in writing.
This is particularly important when a return is approaching the end of the applicable return period. Returns shipped outside the authorized timeframe may be refused by the manufacturer or warehouse and may no longer qualify for a refund.
Refund Processing
Refunds are processed after the returned merchandise has been received and inspected by the applicable warehouse or manufacturer and the return has been confirmed to meet the return requirements.
The applicable restocking fee, shipping charges associated with the order, and any other authorized return-related charges will be deducted from the amount eligible for refund.
If returned merchandise is used, damaged, incomplete, missing original packaging or components, or otherwise returned in a condition that prevents the manufacturer or warehouse from accepting it as new and resalable merchandise, the return may be refused or the refund may be reduced in accordance with the manufacturer’s assessment.
Custom & Made-to-Order Products
Products identified as custom, configured, made-to-order, special-order, or manufactured specifically for the customer cannot generally be canceled once production or manufacturer processing has begun and are not eligible for standard returns.
For custom products, cancellation may only be possible during the initial processing period and before production or customization begins. Because production schedules vary by manufacturer, we encourage customers to contact us immediately if a change is required.
If a custom product arrives damaged or has a legitimate manufacturing defect, we will work with the manufacturer to pursue the appropriate resolution, replacement components, repair, or other available remedy under the applicable manufacturer policy or warranty.
Questions Before Ordering?
Medical equipment can vary considerably in size, configuration, compatibility, and intended use. If you are unsure whether a product will work for your needs, we strongly encourage you to contact us before placing your order.
Our team is happy to help review product specifications, dimensions, options, compatibility, and available manufacturer information so you can make a more informed purchasing decision and reduce the possibility of needing a return.
For shipping, return, or product questions, contact us at info@medcaremobility.com or speak with us through the live chat on our website.
