Vive Alternating Air Pressure Mattress Pad - The Original Bed Sore Prevention Solution - Hospital Topper for Bedridden Patients - Includes Waterproof, Breathable Ulcer Cushion & Whisper Quiet Pump

I’ve been using the Vive Alternating Air Pressure Mattress Pad and I must say it has truly improved my comfort during extended periods in bed due to my diagnosis of PLS. The gentle alternating air pressure provides much-needed relief and support, helping prevent bedsores, and making long hours in bed significantly more bearable.One recommendation I have for anyone setting up this mattress pad is to place the air input intake at your feet instead of near your head. Initially, I had it positioned at the head, but the buzzing sound from the air hoses switching disrupted my sleep throughout the night. Moving it to the feet solved this issue and made the setup much quieter and more restful.Overall, I would highly recommend this mattress pad as a reliable and effective solution for anyone looking to prevent bedsores and enhance comfort while spending extended time in bed. It’s a thoughtful addition that has made a noticeable difference in my daily comfort.

I purchased this for my mother almost one year ago to replace the one that the hospice company had provided. It's the same brand. This air mattress is fantastic! She has not had one bed sore. The alternating pressure pump is quiet. Highly recommend!

Love this product. The Alternating Air Pressure Mattress Pad works great. The motor is quiet and the unit was easy to put together. It just lays on top of your existing mattress and then you can put the sheets over it.Since we purchased it in February my husband has not had any skin issues on his backside or legs. Perfect for patients who are in bed more than up/out of bed.I would definitely recommend this product.

Very comfortable and very quiet. I can hardly hear the motor at all. Only concern is that it can be slow to inflate and the inflation may not be that even. The configuration of the inflated balloons (I'm not sure what to call them) are such that you can tell the ones that are inflated and the ones that are not which, at first, left a very mild discomfort. I said the setting way down and it doesn't appear to bother me anymore. Additionally, I turned it off when I'm not in bed so it does not overinflate without any weight against it. That may have helped as well. Finally, since it's been used on a hospital bed, when the head of the bed or the foot of the bed is folded, it appears as if the air does not get to some of those sections as efficiently. Overall, I am very pleased with the product and can recommend it.

Best value for a well made alternating air matresss. Placed on my bed against the nurses wishes because it wasn’t “Certified” or approved by the hospital. Took my wife about 20 minutes to set up and inflate. The mattress is an incredible value and seems well made. The pump is extremely quiet and adjustable. The improvement over a worn out hospital mattress was immediate. Within an hour I was able to get some sleep and my blisters from sheet burns are now healing. My roommate had the hospital supplied mattress which was noisy and bulky. He is/was envious as he has to rent his mattress from a medical supply dealership. Have absolutely no complaints so far!

My mom is bedridden and it's hard for her to turn from side to side. Pressure wounds are a huge concern which is why we bought this item. So far it has done its job. When it inflates its not uncomfortable for her to lay on thank goodness. The quality is good. I'm very happy we bought this!

I had delayed getting this after reports that the ones from our local medical equipment supplier were very noisy.Then, when I saw this item described as 'whisper quiet", I thought I'd put it to the test.It passed! In fact, it is so quiet that you sometimes wonder if it has stopped working.It does what it says it would, and the risk of bed sores is all but goneI said almost peefect because there is one thing I'd like to see added to the design: instead of a flap to tuck under the mattress it would have been better to have a pocket to put the mattress into at the head of the bed. This would prevent the device from slowly moving towards the foot of the bed as the patient is raised and lowered for feeding and resting.A small deficiency in an otherwise excellent product.
