True Air Loss Mattress Systems - Comfort Is Key

Do most alternating air mattresses heal bedsores and aide in prevention? The answer is YES, however, with any air mattress it is hard to compare with the comforts of your regular bed mattress. Sleep is also a crucial part of healing so comfort is key. Some of the most comfortable air mattresses in the marketplace are the True Low Air Loss Mattress Systems.

What makes them more comfortable versus other air mattress systems? 
The True Air Loss Mattress System has a constant flow of air circulating through the mattress at all times. They are extremely sensitive to any shift in weight so they will auto adjust immediately. Our True Air Loss Mattress System offers 10" side bolsters on either side so there is support to protect in sliding off the bed.  This system also comes with an automatic Fowler Boost that provided patients extra support when in the upright position.

Who do these mattress benefit?
  • Patients with Stage 4 bedsores
  • Patients recovering from a surgery, burn, or skin graft
  • Patients who need more comfort than what the standard alternating pressure mattress has to offer

Bedsore Solutions For Recliner Chairs

Not everyone is comfortable or likes to be in a bed all day! We get several calls per week regarding Gel pads for recliner chairs for bedsore prevention. Some of our customers prefer being in the upright seated position instead of lateral in a bed. However sitting in a chair can still cause bedsores because pressure is still being applied for periods of time. We have researched and found a Visco foam and gel combination pad that best helps assist in healing basic bedsores and fits in most recliner/geri chairs. It applies comfort and healing while still allowing the recliner positioning.

A little about me...

"How did I get into the medical air mattress business?" you may ask before trusting any of the information I will provide you in this blog. About 5 years ago my mother was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. She went quickly from being a healthy, vibrant young woman to a bed ridden patient. The most helpless feeling was when she told me "The cancer was not as painful as the bedsore on her bum" my mom was a new englander and we loved when she used the reference! 
When you love someone deeply, you want to relieve any pain they have so I quickly researched alternating pressure mattresses per her oncologist and found the model Group 2 Loss Air Loss Mattress. My mother said that it instantly relieved her pressure sore pain. When the cancer worsened we had to take her out of her home by ambulance and into the ER. Her oncologist came down to examine her and asked us what we had done to treat her bedsore. We told him that she was on the Group 2 Low Air Loss Mattress and he looked at me and said "That mattress is better than the mattresses we have in our hospital! No wonder she looks almost completely healed!"  I think as loved ones we are desperate to help in any little way and in that moment I felt relief that I had lifted a burden from her. Sadly although we could fix the bedsore we could not cure the cancer and my mother lost her battle here on earth. This started my crusade and business to help others who have gone through the same thing as I have. My goal is to provide quality equipment that will help heal loved ones in desperate times.
