Ligature-resistant mattresses: safe sleep solutions for behavioral health
Mattresses are one of the most critical—and often overlooked—components in behavioral health safety planning. Traditional models can include hidden zippers, exposed seams, or tearable materials that present serious risks.
Direct Supply’s ligature-resistant mattresses are designed specifically for behavioral health applications and feature:
- Sealed seams and tamper resistant construction
- Durable, fluid-resistant covers to support infection control
- Firm, therapeutic support for various levels of care
These mattresses are essential in any high-acuity room design and are often paired with behavioral health beds that reduce opportunities for concealment, tampering, or ligature creation.
Adaptable bedding for safer, healing-focused environments
While bedding is traditionally associated with comfort, in behavioral health, it also plays a role in safety. Loose linens, materials with drawstrings, or excessive layering can introduce hazards in unsupervised settings.
To address this, Direct Supply offers ligature-resistant bedding solutions that are:
- Made from durable, non-tear fabrics
- Designed to minimize tampering and misuse
- Comfortable, residential in appearance, and supportive of trauma-informed environments
These products are ideal for facilities embracing healing by design principles, where the goal is to foster a therapeutic, normalized setting without sacrificing safety.
