The Bodypod Transfer Mattress is a purpose-built transfer solution that minimizes physical strain on funeral professionals during body removals in confined environments—such as narrow hallways, spiral staircases, and tight interiors.
-
Ergonomic & Gravity-Assisted: Designed to utilize gravity for downward transfers, the Bodypod reduces manual lifting by enabling slide-style movement on stairs.
-
Durable & Protective: Features a 7 cm thick firm foam core with a water-repellent PU and polyester cover reinforced with Dyneema® (the world’s strongest fiber), safeguarding both the deceased and the structure during transfer.
-
High Load Capacity: Weighing approximately 7 kg, it safely handles up to 200 kg (440 lbs), making it suitable even for heavier individuals.
-
Fully Equipped for Handling: Equipped with built-in pulling straps, side and end lifting handles, positioning straps, D-rings, and optional head or feet supports—all stored in a convenient carry bag that doubles as a protective overlay.
-
Hygienic & Low Maintenance: The PU-coated cover is easily wiped clean and removable for machine washing up to 60 °C (40 °C recommended), making it both easy to clean and maintain.
