Vive Alternating Pressure Mattress Pad Overview
The Vive Alternating Pressure Pad is a mattress replacement system for home or hospital beds designed for individuals who are bedridden or have limited mobility and are at risk of pressure ulcers. Alternating inflation and deflation works to alleviate pressure from the user's body to help heal and prevent bedsores. This mattress features 19 alternating air chambers that redistribute weight, with adjustable pressure settings to customize the bed for optimal comfort. The air-filled channels decompress or fill up with air to keep weight off certain areas. With the ultra-quiet air compressor pump, users can lie in bed peacefully without being disturbed by unwanted noise. The Vive 8 Inch Alternating Pressure Mattress has a weight capacity of 350 pounds and comes with a waterproof, removable vinyl cover that is easy to clean and keeps the mattress safe.

Customizable Settings and Controls
Firmness Adjustments With the Plus and Minus Buttons. These buttons increase or decrease the user weight settings and allow the mattress firmness to be customized. A higher weight setting causes the mattress to feel firmer while a lower weight setting causes the mattress to feel softer.
Sitting Mode. This setting stops the alternating pressure in the air chambers and automatically increases the air pressure in the mattress to provide equal, firmer support so the user can sit up. The LED indicator will turn on when the mattress is in sitting mode.
Static Mode. This setting stops the mattress from alternating air pressure and causes the chambers to maintain equal pressure based on the current user weight settings. Static mode is often used during the initial inflation or during medical procedures. The LED indicator turns on when this setting is selected.
