AnteaMED 2 Piece Set Air Mattress and Pump Kit for Decubitus Prevention, Aluminium Material

This is a very good quality pressure mattress and for the price you can’t go wrong.They’ve obviously been imported from Italy as they have an EU plug. I read a review on here that all you need is a kettle lead so I bought a kettle lead too. I’m a bit annoyed at that reviewer as you can’t change the lead it’s fixed. All you need is an EU to U.K. socket adaptor.The mattress itself is beige vinyl with a control unit and two air leads between the two. It’s designed to sit on top of an existing normal mattress. It has vinyl each end to tuck under the mattress and it’s washable if needed. The cells alternate in pressure so the unit deflates one whilst inflating the one next to it and so on. Takes the pressure off body areas every 6 minutes in a cycle. It can be a bit sweaty if you only put a thin sheet over. I use only a stretchy bottom sheet but I haven’t been cold since.The control unit hooks onto the bed frame and it is no louder than a fish tank pump. Comes with a repair patch but I bought a pool patch kit just in case.The dial on the unit is from 1 to 10 which sets the hardness of the mattress. I have it on a setting between 2 and 4 and that’s enough.My doggies jump on the bed and it’s been fine as the vinyl is very thick. Also if you’re travelling you can fold it up and take it with you.I’ve slept really well since having this too. Very good quality for the price.EDIT : After using this for several weeks I thought I’d give an update. Don’t be tempted to turn the mattress round to have the air inlet tubes near the head. They’re meant to be at the bottom of the bed as I found out. If you turn it round it’s really loud and you can actually hear the air being forced into the mattress. Not pleasant at all. Having the unit near the head end is fine though just not the air inlet tubes.I still get a lovely nights sleep and my doggies love sleeping on it too.

I bought this for my mum as she was uncomfortable sitting and sleeping in bed. The bed and the honeycomb effect was uncomfortable so covered to make it more comfortable and mum loved it. No longer needed an electric blanket as this bed blows warm air through it. Would recommend for anyone who has back problems and cannot lie for long in one position.

I bought this as I have a pressure sore, but also areas over my hip bones that just hurt like hell when I lie directly on them. (I have Ehlers-Danlos syndrome) needed something to ease the pain overnight, even sleeping on a literal cloud (temper cloud mattress and a dormeo octaspring topper) didn't relieve the pain as much as I hoped, so sort of ummed over this for a while before deciding to give it a shot. I don't have it turned up any higher than about 5, else it's a bit weird, picture sleeping on a melting aero bar, it's a bit weird, turn it down a bit and that effect lessens greatly. There is some noise, it's minimal, on par with the pump bit of a home fishing tank. You know it's there, it's not enough to keep you awake, the more I use it the more it's like white noise as I go to sleep, I don't mind the low level noise at all. We have it on our superking bed, and it covers my side really well, more than enough topper to tuck it in at the top and bottom of the mattress, though you may want deeper sheets to account for it. Adds no more than 2-3 inches at a guess, but I do find it has helped both with the pressure sore and the hip pain, so I get a more peaceful sleep.The price is really good for the type of product it is, I doubt you'd find it lower, good all round entry level pressure relief to see if its likely to help before committing to perhaps a more expensive one. I'm really happy with it, I'd buy another tomorrow if it developed an issue, worth every penny in my opinion.

I have to sleep sitting upright due to medical conditions. This caused a pressure sore which I tried to relieve with various types of cushions to sit on without any improvement. Then I thought of a ripple mattress and was dismayed to find that they ranged in price from around £200-£450 or more! When I came across this matress, I read the reviews and decided to order it. It arrived quickly and was very easy to set up by myself despite the instructions being in Italian! Just follow the diagram. I have a double divan bed but only sleep on one side, so this single sized mattress was still useful, I just tucked in the top underneath my mattress and put the condenser on the floor at the foot of the bed. I have had it for a couple of weeks now and my pressure sore has healed. I sleep much better too. I am amazed that this mattress works so well and at such an affordable price! I would recommend this to anyone who is bedridden, disabled or anyone who needs pressure relief. Thank you to go manufacturer!

Purchased 5 months ago for my wife who on return from hospital were she had their nhs version of this could not sleep very well on the bed and mattress supplied by nhs for home, so I searched for something the same as the hospital one and could not believe the prices wanted, so went to amazon and found this at a price that was worth a try, it arrived quickly and following the pictures was very easy to set up, my wife got her first real night of sleep that night and since, it just works a dream I have it linked to switch on and off with Alexa for ease, I think this is great value even though the price has increased a little in the time it has worked for what was needed

Within less than three months air began escaping from the seal around one of the air pockets within the mattress I contacted the company to be told it’s my fault for not caring for the mattress properly and I was also informed that the mattress should be replaced every six months!! There nothing in the description to say it needs replacing every six months
