Vive Alternating Air Pressure Mattress Pad - The Original Bed Sore Prevention Solution - Hospital Topper for Bedridden Patients - Includes Waterproof, Breathable Ulcer Cushion & Whisper Quiet Pump

My wife says this item works well. She uses it on a very low setting and it works well. You do have to turn it off when not in the bed so mattress does not get too hard .

I bought this for my Momma who is paralyzed from waist down and is in the bed quite often. It has helped her tremendously. It adjist airflow constantly to slightly move her body to help prevent bed sores and pressure points.

Have used a month for mobile woman in her 90s who has a prominent spinal column that was on the verge of getting a bed sore since she doesn't turn over and she was also complaining of sore heels. The only adjustment made was using a flat sheet in place of a fitted sheet on her normal bed. Motor is quiet and fills in air quickly - it's turned off in morning and turned on about a half hour before bed. This mattress has rows of "cells" that alternate inflating and deflating every six minutes. Easy to assemble. Directions include a web address of a YouTube video that doesn't show how it's assembled so look up another video under their brand name which does give a demo. Easy to get used to after a few nights.

My hubby has been bed bound for 5 years. He had an air flow Matress that his insurance wouldn't authorize any more. I tried every foam topper known to man, paying any where from $60 to $200 to no avail. Within weeks the topper would develop a "hole" and I would have to replace it before more sores developed. This air flow topper is perfect! It is way less expensive than an entire mattress, it doesn't take as much electricity and it doesn't overheat like the mattress did. He has only had it for a week and already his body feels better. I am hoping it will last. It has been a god send. Thank you Vive!

So far so very good. Mom came home from the hospital a week ago and developed bed sores so I decided to give this a try. I put it on her recliner and wasn’t sure it would work but within a half hour she was sleeping and loves it.

The air compressor is very quiet and does a good job regulating the air in the mattress. The mattress is comfortable and easily adjusted. It fits well under the sheets and maintains an even surface without becoming concave under heavy pressure areas. This was well worth the cost.

This bed is great for my elderly mother. It moves up and down (low enough to easily get her into the bed from her wheelchair), and then it can be raised higher once she's in bed. It also allows us to elevate her head and legs separately. The controls are easy to use and having the tray (for meals) is a big plus.This is the second bed I bought from them and we are very happy to recommend them. Also, when I had an issue, they took care of things right away.

I was getting sore on my mattress before my husband bought me this mattress topper. It is amazing the difference it makes. I highly recommend this to anyone that spends a significant amount of time in bed.
