   Excellent for pressure wounds.
   After spending 3 months in hospital and rehab center, wound care specialists would not let my mom come home until we ordered this mattress. Better than anything she had in rehab/ hospital, those are only about 2 inches thick. This is a full 7-8 inch thick mattress. Heavy, but got it on the bed frame myself. Fully inflated in about 3 hours. It had to be ready when transport brought her home. This was a stage 4 wound, part of tailbone was exposed. Every wound nurse that came to the home to maintain the wound vac therapy remarked that this was an excellent mattress. After 6 months if a wound could be downgraded they said mom’s wound came down to a 1-2 stage, and tailbone was no longer exposed. The control panel stays at the patients weight setting even when the power came back on. It does beep and red light to alert you, soon as electricity came back on it stopped beeping and re- inflated fully, only lost small amount of air for 15 min. outage. It has the red CPR belt in case paramedics need it. It is strong too, a medic stood on it a few seconds to get her on the gurney and take her out. Regular twin size fitted sheets fit good. It is fully waterproof vinyl cover that we wiped down with bath cleaner on a rag when mom was in hospital before coming back. She was unable to move herself, so this mattress did flex with the semi automatic bed frame to raise her head up completely. We used stuffer pillows too, to get her on her side. We could push down and change her incontinence pads from the front without disturbing her and mattress can take it, very strong. It quietly shifts the pressure about every 8 min, only faint sound of air, nothing that scared her. I have nothing bad to say. It arrived in 3 days with prime shipping.

   Mattress great; service less so
   The mattress is great. But the first one we ordered very quickly started leaking to the point that three or four cells at the head stopped inflating. It was a chore to get it replaced. Manufacturer said we had to talk to the retailer. The retailer was difficult. Finally I got to a man at the manufacturer who replaced the pump without a problem. But that didn’t solve the issue. So I had to call the manufacturer again. The manufacturer ended up replacing the whole mattress as well. That, obviously, solved the problem, and now we have two pumps and two mattresses, since the manufacturer didn’t want us to return the ones that were replaced. I figure that they will be good for scavenging replacement parts, especially of the cells in the mattress, should we have more problems. We never did find a leak. I expect that it was in one of the hoses that feed the cells in the mattress. We are very happy with the mattress itself now that we have one that works. It’s great for helping hold down bed sores, and it is comfortable for my wife, who is bedridden. The service was friendly enough–just a bunch of hassle.

   Awesome mattress!
   Got it for my dear brother who is bed bound. I’m glad I took the chance and got this mattress. I tried it myself, it’s super comfortable. He doesn’t slide down anymore. Easier to bathe him in it too. Easier for the home health aid overall. I’m happy my brother is at least a bit more comfy, besides his horrible disease . He agrees with it too. I just got it a few weeks ago. I hope it last a long time.6/23/21 My Dear brother past away after 6 weeks in hospice. He finally stopped sufering, but I miss him every day.The mattress only stopped fluctuating a few Weeks before been put in hospice. I still give this mattress a 5 Star review. We donated bed and mattress to a needy family.

   Great mattress but needs a remote
   This mattress should get five stars in all categories, but I took one star off because in 2023, with all of modern technology in front of us, and at a $1200 price point, there is no reason for this thing not to have a remote of some sort, be it wired to the control box, wireless, or an app in order for the person actually in the bed to be able to control the settings. When I wake up at three in the morning and I can’t sleep and I want to sit up and read my book, in order to set the mattress to not bottom out, I have to wake up my husband and ask him to fix it for me. That’s ridiculous, and I won’t do that. So I took off Star for comfort and convenience. Because that is neither comfortable nor convenient. Aside from that, this mattress is everything I could ask for.
