This Works Great And Is Very Durable
I am very pleased with this air mattress. I use this for my elderly mother who isn’t able to move around when in bed or in a chair. It seems to make her more comfortable, and her skin no longer turns pinkish when she is in the same position for a couple of hours. She doesn’t have bedsores, but I can see how it would be effective in preventing and treating them.The only thing I don’t like about it is it makes it harder to get her positioned in bed, but that isn’t the fault of the product. In fact, I have been impressed at how durable it is. I have to lift, turn, and position my mother by myself since she can’t help, and I have yanked, slid, and pushed on the air mattress and I can say it tolerates a lot of abuse.I have even gotten it tangled in the wheels of the wheelchair a couple of times, and although it now has scuff marks, it has no punctures. I use this in her bed, recliner, and even the wheelchair (although the instructions say to use it flat) and it works great. I have run the pump 24 hours straight for several days at a time, only turning it off to move the mattress to a new location because it is to hard to position her on it with it inflated first.Even if the hard use I give it causes it to break down in a month or so, it is worth it to me. Plus the replacement pads are only $20. Also, the pump is very quiet. At first I was convinced the thing was broken because, even though it inflated, I couldn’t hear the pump doing anything. If there is no background noise, I can hear it though and it sounds a lot like an aquarium pump.So I give this five stars. It is one of the few purchases I have made that exceeded my expectations. Especially since it is only around $40, it is worth it to keep bedsores at bay.

Works forever! Well darn near it at this price!
I’ve used these for my father & my daughter that was bedridden for multiple years. You cannot find a better alternating air mattress on the market that works this well for this price for as long as the system works. The 1st one I bought for my bedridden daughter. Hers ran 24/7 for 2 years with no problems from the motor! A couple incidents of her cats putting a hole in the mattress but the replacement mattresses run less than $20. She never developed a bed sore while laying on the mattress. It’s a little stiff but easily covered with a mattress pad & are super durable. The 2nd one I bought was for my 250 lb father & same results as daughter’s machine..it ran 24/7 for almost 2 years before his passing & I use the his motor to this day on my bed because it helps my back out so much! I get much better sleep on this system than I have off any other mattress & topper. When this motor dies (been running for almost 3 yrs & still going strong 24/7) I’ll happily pay for a replacement system immediately! I don’t have a footboard or anywhere to hang mine so I just flipped it on it’s side, tubes up & slide it under the edge of the bed making sure I didn’t crimp the air outflow & you can’t even see it under there. I do recommend a medium weight mattress pad but other than that I can’t fault this product at all at such a great price. I recommend for any caregiver, bed bound patient or back pain sufferer..this product will make your life better & your patient a lot more comfortable & healthy. I’m actually buying a 3rd one for a friend that recently had a stroke & heart problems & sits up most days in his recliner. Not sure if it will work as well but at this price if it even gives him a small amount of relief it’ll be a gift well given.

Nice Product
I have to say I’m impressed with the product, I’m using it at the moment myself instead of the waffle pad that came from the hospital with me. Because of seam splitting I’m unable to repair old waffle pad, (this is second one), with anything on the market, I had to have something after having major back surgery. Seen this while looking on Amazon for another new pad. Being that its much cheaper than the original pad I was getting, I thought it was garbage at that price,but I read the reviews and went for it at that price can’t lose much with also free shipping and so far its been anything but cheap made to me. It comes with 110volt automatic pump that inflates – deflates, its actually made for people with bedsore problems but it works fine for me also. Totally adjustable pressure for firmness I’ve had no leaks so far (its been 2 1/2 months), even comes with repair patch kit with glue. The original waffle pad came with manual pump and it sucks always pumping it up, not feeling good while doing it. Can’t beat it for the price, 1/3 of the cost of of manual pad w/pump. China seems to have made a quality medical product here for a great low price, I thought its so good of a price, I bought two more (so cheap) I have other uses for them. Its a great self inflating adjustable bed pad. I almost forgot to add that you need to take it out of the plastic bag that its packaged in and let it air out a few days before use. Very strong smell of plastic or rubber that its made out of.( 03/ 21 /2013 ) To this date it still works perfect, never a problem. It is now 7/19/2013 little holes are starting to pop up. Easy to fix with repair kit supplied, just cut little patches and glue on, easy. But I have bought extra pads (so cheap) I think I’ll just swap it out before having to fix it continually. What can you buy for fifty dollars w/pump that does all this. Like I said before, you can buy 2-3 of these with an automatic adjustable pump than, a single pad w/manual pump. Only thing the automatic is thin 2-3 inches thick but the electric pump keeps right up with it no sweat, even with the small pin holes, that started forming after 9months, I can live with that. I wish I could just buy the pad, pump still works great no problem. Though at the price I cant complain. I spend more filling my car.

Excelente. Hasta el momento, se ha mantenido en uso rudo 24/7 y le ha dado bastante comodidad a la persona en cama. Es un buen producto y lo recomiendo por el precio que es accesible.

I was getting pressure spots on my hips during sleep. Having chronic pain already this was unhelpful for sleep to help recovery from days pain, so I bought this mattress with a pump as well firstly, but when after about 12 months use the mattress sprung a couple of leaks, so I bought this mattress only. Disappointing mattresses only last 6-12 months, perhaps I should lose some weight, currently 97kg!
