Re: [QUAD-L] Alternating pressure mattress
I'll have to check on where I purchased my last one, but I do have some rather expensive overlays which have suited me in the past. They don't seem to be as durable as my low air loss mattress, but the advantage is they do not bottom out if the electricity goes out. I use one for about two or three months and it did spring a small leak, but it works great for me. Now it sits in my closet as a backup. Let me know if you are interested in knowing the name brand of the one I bought recently. It's still in the box, but it is almost exactly like the original one I bought years ago.

Re: [QUAD-L] alternating pressure mattress
I've been using this one for a few years http://www.amazon.com/Genesis-Deluxe-Alternating-Pressure-Mattress/dp/B002VI840M/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8qid=1380652721sr=8-2keywords=genesis+mattress On Mon, Sep 30, 2013 at 2:45 PM, greg g...@eskimo.com wrote: The pressure sore I have right now is from my wheelchair not my bed. At the moment I'm using a Clinitron bed. My regular bed has an overlay mattress, an alternating pressure mattress. But I'm not sure how good it is. It has little bubbles all over it. And the bubbles rotate pressure. But the bubbles are not real big and they are not very deep. Even though my sore is from my wheelchair, when it is finally healed up and I go back to my regular bed I don't want my bed to cause any problems. So I was thinking about getting a better alternating pressure mattress. Obviously I'd like to not have to spend a lot of money. The one I have now was only like $120 and it has worked for years. I see one like it listed for like $75. But I think they are alternating pressure but not low air loss. Looking on Amazon there are very many. From 4 to 8 inches thick. The one I was thinking about is this one. http://www.amazon.com/Drive-Medical-Mattress-Replacement-Alternating/dp/B002VWKO9W what do you think? I know they can make it harder to get dressed and things like that. 8 inches might be too thick. It just looks the most durable. Greg
