    More Information

    The Med-Aire Alternating Pressure Pump with Pad System is a uniquely designed mattress topper that inflates 130 individual air bubbles for a more tranquil and reduced pressure sleep. The option to choose either a fixed pump or a variable pump is available. The fixed pump will maintain a steady, constant air pressure throughout the mattress at five-minute intervals. The variable pump features a dial that lets the user set their own comfort level along a range of soft to firm.

    Both pump designs have built-in brackets that allow it to be mounted to the head or foot of the bed for accessible reach or for the caretaker to control. If the pump is placed next to the head of the bed you can be reassured that you will not wake up when the 5-minute cycle begins. The pump is designed to be quiet and not interrupt your sleep.

    The filter is easy to change. There is a 300-pound weight limit. The warranty is 1-year on the pump and 90-days on the mattress.

    What Customers Are Saying:

    "I love this product because Im unable to turn myself at night and keeps me from getting pressure sores - Adam R."

    "My Mom, 94, developed bedsores recently but I was unable to get an alternating air mattress through insurance. The bedsores were not BAD ENOUGH to qualify. So, with the advice of her visiting nurse, I ordered this Drive overlay. She has not developed another sore since she has had it and one is completely gone and the other two are healing. Why wait until sores have gotten so bad to qualify? This overlay is so much cheaper but does the job just as well as the expensive one she would have gotten through insurance. I'm so glad I made the purchase. She even sleeps much better now. And the motor is so quiet! One hint from her nurse, keep the dial for firmness right between soft and firm. - Jeannette K."

    "My Mom - a retired nurse, who has become invalid and needs this mattress to reduce the occurrence of bedsores, loves it! - Annie B."

    Easy excellent product

    I didnt order the extended version because I thought it was over priced. Weve had no trouble at all with the normal length. I was a bit surprised to find that the firm setting caused some discomfort occasionally, but with the variable pump that problem was easily solved.

    works good as advertised.

    The product does not have end straps as depicted. Instead the mattress is extended in length to be tucked under the mattress.
    I dont necessarily like this feature, as you have to make sure it stays tucked under.
