My bed has an 84'' long inner-spring mattress, then I have an Air-Pro Plus 
Alternating Overlay Mattress on top of that ( 
http://www.bluechipmedical.com/airpro.htm ), and that is covered with a Spenco 
Comfort Touch Traditional Mattress Pad ( 
http://www.medicalproductsdirect.com/spencomtouct.html ).  I just put the 
Air-Pro Plus Alternating Overlay Mattress on this year after my surgery, and it 
really makes a difference.

    My bed has the hospital bed mattress, on top of that a 3" eggcrate foam, on 
top of that a circulating air mattress, and then it's completely covered with a 
synthetic sheep skin. Been doing this for years.

          Just out of curiosity, What kind of mattresses do those of you using 
hospital beds use. I have used egg crate toppers on regular staw filled vinyl 
mattresses and I had a low air loss mattress I was able to keep workingfor 9 
years. Now I have an alternating pressure mattess  from ebay that a sister 
bought. Its reasonably comfortable but no help with pressure areas. If I have a 
bad spot getting red I have to get egg crate under it or this alternating 
system will rip the skin apart. 
  With medicare/medicaid no mattrss suppliers want to deal with me because in 
Ohio they often refuse payment on low air loss mattresses. I sure havent got 5 
thousand dollars or even 21 thousand for e bay.
