SpanAmerica PressureGuard APM Mattress Description
SpanAmerica PressureGuard APM Mattress Note: Please allow 1-3 weeks for delivery for all Span America products.Unlike other alternating pressure mattresses, the PressureGuard APM won't create extreme pressure gradients between inflated and deflated cylinders.
On top, the Geo-Matt anti-shearing surface forms a comfortable, therapeutic interface between the air system and the user. It absorbs and smoothes sharp pressure drop-offs that other surfaces can't, while the air system does the "heavy lifting" below, alternating weightbearing across the surface in ten minute cycles. Other standard PressureGuard features include the exclusive Heel Slope taper, and two-part bolster system for added stability when sitting or transferring. Weight limit 350 lbs. Mattress weight 20 lbs. Pump weight 5.25 lbs. 18 month warranty. UL listed.
(Does not include lateral rotation feature. Includes standard control unit)

Got a question about this product?
How do you keep the area of the buttocks from staying deflated? This area being low is causing difficulty in transferring to a wheelchair. We have tried changing the settings and have tried increasing the inflation of the bed with the control panel. What else is there?

With this type of mattress, alternating pressure, lowering the head of the bed will help, also if you have a green style pump you can hook both air line ends together to keep the air in place. With Alternating pressure you will always have a lower spot somewhere in mattress because that is the way they are designed to prevent constant pressure.
