Mine came through Medicare as a treatment for my current sores. It makes
about as much noise as a fish tank.

I'd love to find one that didn't make a ton of noise, mind if I ask where
you got yours?

I just got an air mattress this week. It's an Invacare Probasics Satin Air
APM2. It's a low air loss mattress with alternating pressure. There are not
many settings. The low air loss is always on, the alternating pressure can
be turned on or off, and there's a dial for firmness. That's it - it's very
simple. It's quiet and finally I can sleep without any excruciating pain
from my bed sores. I can't say anything about how long it will last, but
it's been a huge relief so far. I guess time will tell.

I'm on my 2nd one.  The 1st one Worked very well for a couple of years, it
was a Genesis deluxe made by roscoe medical.  But, it stopped holding air
after a couple of years.  I bought it on Amazon for about $350.

I bought another one, an Invacare microAIR on eBay.  Been using it for
about a month.  It also works very well, a lot more settings/options.  The
only downside, it is quite a bit louder than the Genesis deluxe.
