As we said, it hums. It sounds comparable to an aquarium pump in terms of noise.

If you want to cut it, then go ahead! You can do it this way Then we cut the extra $16 pad in half so it was a square size (36"x36" then or narrower if you want to match the couch depth) and used glue to close the opened cells (those pads always come with a special glue to repair damaged cells). So you can put this smaller pad on a couch or chair and prevent skin ulcers while watching tv or sitting for long periods of time. And frankly, this was the best investment we made for my mom, she used it both in her bed under her sheet as well as on the However, if you intend to use it on the couch, you should consider the $27 model that comes with flaps. This allows you to "tuck" the pad between the cushion and back. It will stay in place, otherwise when the cells are filled with air, the whole pad tends to contract over time, and the whole thing may move forward sideways if the couch material is slippery. The purchase of this very inexpensive item was life changing for my mother.
It was very uncomfortable, noisy (the plastic squeaked a lot, and did not stay in place when I used it on my own bed. There might have been an issue with how I put it on. I gave it to my mother for her hospital bed and she loves it. My hope is that I've been helpful. I pray God's blessings on you if you are an individual who cares for others.

A very reasonable price of just I really can't think of anything better. Keeping my baby alive has been a lifesaving decision. A very reasonable price of just I really can't think of anything better. There is a 15 year old dog I have that is no longer able to get up on his own or walk. This piece of paper is much longer than I need and takes up a lot of floor space. For people who buy these for their pets, the company needs to offer a version which is half the length. wish I had known about this five years ago, when my old Retriever, 19 years old, was nearing the end of his life.
Bed sore prevention is made easier with this product for patients who are bedridden. Despite its reliability, the pump continues to work 24 hours a day without any problems. As far as the topper is concerned, it is the problem. In the last six months, we have been through three. The photo shows an example of this. When the air inlet on the top of the topper separates from the topper itself, it For it to be more durable, the manufacturer needs to reinforce the interface between the air inlet fixture and the topper. Toppers of the past two years failed in the same spot. In addition, vinyl glue cannot be used to restore the topper, resulting in its ineffectiveness.

Only issue is it's really uncomfortable regardless of the level of firmness, but it can be fixed pretty easily. A sheet of foam rubber was placed beneath the fitted sheet on top of the air mattress, then a sheep fur pad was placed bed-length on top of It is probably best to use memory foam or another type of pad, but since you must have something, that is probably the best option. My elderly mom is now very comfortable in her bed at night thanks to the alternating pressure of the pump, and the prevention of bed sores is a bonus! The air mattress is as good as any expensive air bed she's had in the past, but at a far more affordable price, even with the purchase of In addition, if the mattress or pump does experience future problems, it will still be far cheaper to replace than one that's more expensive. We're only paying less than twenty dollars for the replacement mattress! In the event of anything going wrong, I will update this comment. I have updated As of January 2019, there are no issues and things are going well. It has been a week without any bed sores or aches or pains for Mom! I will continue to update it on occasion, but I already consider it well worth the.
The pain is much worse at night and varies from night to night for people with AS. It's as if the princess had a pet pea I will buy as many mattresses as I want Unfortunately, I am still in pain. A person can only buy so many mattresses before they are relieved of the discomfort! My original purpose was for this to serve as a stop gap for another mattress, but I think I've found a completely agree with an earlier post- lay something "puffy" over the plastic for more cushioning over the mattress.

Every six minutes or so, there is a sense of movement, but it is gentle like tiny bubbles since the mattress keeps pressure away from any one area for.
It is a very easy project to complete. It sounds like the quiet hum of a humming machine. This is the alternating pressure you Each time it occurs, it occurs every 6 mins, but isn't annoying in the least. There is barely any feeling in Mom's arms. With my pressure set to the highest setting, I am trying to get a good result. There is no doubt that she is comfortable. It is my hope that this will turn out well. During the last few days, she developed bed sores due to being bedridden. It didn't matter how many times I tried to turn her, she still got the cookies. She experienced her first one in the area of her tailbone. In order to get relief, I turned her on her side and she found some on her side. I am now going to go to It's horrid in the hospital, and Medicare requires her to reach a stage 3 or 4 bed sore before they pay for special mattresses. She isn't going to have that happen to her if I sit by and let it happen. I have only just received the device, and so I cannot see any improvement. Our progress will be updated as we go. It was very easy to set up, shipped quickly and was quite functional. I would definitely recommend. A brief update The bedsores on her feet are healing!
