Hospital Air Mattresses can be a vital tool used by nursing staff, enabling them to help identify patients at risk and gauge the risk's severity by recognizing the six risk factors involved in preventive care. In addition to these benefits, those sleeping on Alternating Pressure Mattresses will wake refreshed. This is because the continually changing air pressure eliminates tossing and turning while keeping blood and fluid flowing for enhanced circulation. Turning: Many models utilize air chambers and/or cylinders to laterally turn an occupant. This helps prevent or treat bedsores by taking pressue off of delicate/injured skin. Comfort is also increased through greater circulation and mucosal drainage. Select models, like Drive Medical's 10 Inch Lateral Rotation Mattress with on Demand Low Air Loss, can laterally transfer occupants from their backs to their sides by up to 40 degrees. Size: Medical Air Mattresses are right-sized for hospital bed frames, ensuring comfort and safety.
Sizes vary from standard models that are 75 inches long x 32 inches wide, to extended or bariatric models that are up to 80 inches long and 42 inches wide, such as Drive Medical's Med-Aire PLUS Bariatric Alternating Pressure Low Air Loss Mattress System bed. Skin health: In addition to turning, Hospital Air Mattresses also have elements that promote skin health. These include anti-shearing zones among the tops and bottom ends of the mattress that guard sensitive scapulas and heels from unnecessary friction. These zones are found in beds such as Span America's PressureGuard Turn Select Air Mattress System. Drive Medical's Mattress System with Pulsation True Low Air Loss features exclusive Pulsate Mode technology. This automatically reduces air flow every 30 seconds, getting blood flowing and reducing pressure to prevent bedsores formation. Safety: Several Air Mattresses have features, such as a static perimeter, that prevents entrapment between a mattress and bed rails. These include Med-Aire's PLUS DP Defined Perimeter Alternating Pressure Air Mattress Overlay Low Air Loss System 36 x 80 x 8.
Transfer Capability: If you are a caregiver, consider a medical air mattress with a transfer mode that automatically inflates or deflates as needed to assist with daily activities. These models include the PressureGuard APM2 Mattress. For additional peace of mind, select units remain inflated during power outages to keep occupants supported. These include Invacare's microAIR MA90 Alternating Pressure Lateral Rotation Mattress. Budget: Even the most budget-friendly hospital air beds sold by Vitality Medical can positively impact occupant wellness. Invacare's value-packed ProBasics SatinAir APM Low Air Loss Mattress, for example, includes the essentials like laser-cut vents that minimize air buildup and low air loss for proper pressure ulcer (bedsore) treatment and prevention. If outfitting multiple beds or watching a budget closely, consider an overlay for traditional innerspring mattreses. These overlays, such as Invacare's CareGuard Alternating Pressure Pump and Pad, feature basic air pressure cells for patients at risk of developing pressure ulcers.
Vitality Medical also carries pumps and bed inflators.Hey there, time traveller! This article was published 20/11/2014 (834 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current. An upstart online retailer is hoping to cause a few sleepless nights for traditional mattress retailers in Canada with its bed-in-a-box offering. has begun shipping its one-type-fits-all foam mattresses north of the border, as well. mattress is delivered in a box to your door and costs $650-$1,150, depending on size. "We had planned on expanding to Canada in 2015, but thousands of requests convinced us to move as quickly as possible," company co-founder and CEO Philip Krim said in a statement. sells just one type of mattress -- a "medium-firm" model made in-house from a combination of two types of foam -- memory and latex. It's available in six different sizes and price points, ranging from twin ($650) to a king ($1,150).The mattresses are shipped directly to the customer's door in a cardboard box about the size of a bar fridge -- 104 centimetres by 53 cm by 50 cm.
Casper claims its prices are about one-third what traditional mattress retailers charge for a similar product because it eliminates the middle man and all of the costs associated with operating a bricks-and-mortar store. It also offers delivery within two days, a 10-year warranty, free shipping, a 100-day, "no risk" return policy, and free pickup if the customer decides not to keep the mattress.The upstart retailer says it sold out of its initial inventory within a week of launching last April, and sold more than a million dollars worth of mattresses within its first 28 days in business.It hopes to poach sales from traditional Canadian mattress retailers such as Sleep Country and Sears. It believes a growing number of consumers has become overwhelmed by all of the different types of mattresses on the market these days, and are looking for a less confusing and less costly option."The mattress industry in Canada is convoluted, purposely confusing, and just as rampant with overpriced and outdated products as it is in the United States," Krim said.
"Consumers are ready for a change, and we could not be more excited to provide Canadians with an easier way to a better night's sleep."While the goal is to steal market share from traditional bricks-and-mortar stores, the owner of one of Manitoba's largest mattress retailers -- Best Sleep Centre Inc.'s David Keam -- said he's not worried. until a reporter phoned him on Thursday and he looked up the company's website. What he saw didn't impress him."One type fits all? Now it makes even less sense," he said, adding no single type of mattress suits everyone.He also thinks few people will be willing to buy a bed over the Internet."Nobody buys a mattress sight-unseen, and if there was ever a product that you shouldn't buy sight unseen, it's a mattress," he said. "You can have the best mattress in the world, but if it's not right for you, it's useless. Their returns are going to be huge."However, Krim, who was in transit and unavailable for comment Thursday, told the Financial Post earlier this week there have been few returns in the United States so far.
