8" Alternating Pressure Mattress - Low Air Loss Hospital Replacement Mattress - Medical Bed Topper for Pressure Ulcers and Bed Sores - Variable, Inflatable Pressure Pump System

My wife, who is a paraplegic with a stage 4 and a wound vac has been using this for a week and we are very impressed with the quality and comfort. Pump is very quiet.

I have Pulmonary Fibrosis and I am in a hospital bed 24/7 now. I use to get bed sores and now with my new mattress I am noticing any new bed sores and the ones I had are going away. I have no problems with a little hissing noise...Some people talk in their reviews like its horrible sounding but I have no problem what so ever. I guess if you move around a lot it might make more noise.

Don't Waste your money! The pump stopped working properly after a month and a half and will not stay inflated

We were recommended this mattress by another patient's family. It's been 100% effective for preventing pressure sores. Easy to use. The mattress is full of individual inflatable cells, which much like pool inflatables, make a squeaking noise when they inflate and rub together. This is constantly happening and I need to search to find a lubricant which will last long term and not deteriorate the mattress. If there was a fix or at least guidance on what to use that'd make this a 5 star item.

That it works and safe my mother's life

Mattress seems good quality, easy to set up. My only problem is that the pump has an annoying buzz when in alternating mode. Barely noticeable during the day but wakes me up at night. This is my 3d APM. Others were no problem. Considering returning

I really wanted to like this mattress. I am a C6 - C7 quadriplegic. I have been using a low air loss mattress for several years now and my previous mattress finally died. I found this mattress on Amazon and thought it might be too good to be true. I was amazed at how quickly arrived. It was well shipped, well packed, and surprisingly easy to install. I did find that the mattress is a little smaller than the typical medical bed. This did pose a problem and that now there is a gap between the mattress and the security rail. If I’m not careful, my legs fall in between the rail and the mattress. The motor, hoses, and mattress went together smoothly and easily. The motor is super quiet and airs up the mattress very quickly. The display is a little bright at night, but nothing some masking tape didn’t cure. My biggest problem with this mattress is the material they used for the mattress cover. It is a rubber material that does not allow the body to slide or breathe well on. The whole reason I need a low air loss mattress is for pressure sore prevention and relief. Sticking to the mattress cover makes movement very difficult. The second issue is that the mattress cover is very loose. It’s not tight on the air cells so transferring and moving becomes greatly difficult because the mattress cover sticks to your skin and moves as you move. I wish Vive would create a different style top cover that was more like breathable nylon and that was a little tighter on the mattress. When I sleep on the mattress, I am sweating very quickly. And stuck in the position I am laying. When the mattress cover gets bunched up under me, it is difficult to straighten out. Adjusting the air pressure is a little tricky until you get the hang of it. I will say again that the motor is very responsive and very quiet. A definite plus over the previous unit I had. In closing, if you transfer onto this mattress from a wheelchair, you must have a sliding sheet available to get onto the bed safely.

The air mattress is working out good, not to loud

This was for my elderly mama’s bed she loves it very comfortable and it adjusts well to her bed 🛌.A1.

Hi, we've had the mattress and pump since August 2023(2/3 months) and the pump will not switch on. Has anyone else had this happen and is there a way to get it started or do I need to return it and hope for some satisfaction?

After a week or so the pump unit became so noisy that my workshop compressor was quieter. Only the dead could sleep with this running

Unfortunately the static mode is temporary !

There is NO product support for this item in the UK, if it goes Faulty ( the compressor stopped working after 3 Months ) Amazon won`t take the faulty unit back. Tried to get Vive Health to repair the unit, but they are based in the USA and have No Warehouse in the UK to replace / repair, although they were very helpful
