Richard D. Wright –
I purchased the Vive Alternating Pressure Pad w/electric pump for my 79 year old father who is bedridden due to a stroke. We had been using the manual pump air mattresses that we’d bring home from the hospital, only to have them pop after about a month’s use. Well, after going through 3 of those and dad always complaining of his body hurting after they’d deflate a little, I decided on this purchase! Boy, am I glad I did!!This air mattress, just after one night’s use, has already had an immediately positive effect on my dad. Set to the firmest setting, what is recommended, had my dad sleeping like a baby and zero complaints of body aches!! He looks like a king content on his throne now!!My review for the mechanics of the equipment is this: the mattress is of high quality material, durable, soft, flexible, and comfortable to the touch with little to no plastic or rubber odor, which I greatly appreciate! Fits the Medicare provided hospital bed perfectly, and adjusts with the bed when raising or lowering either the foot or head! The electric pump is extremely quiet and does exactly as described, cycling every 6 minutes. I can actually see my dad’s body rise and fall, ever so slightly, as the air gets redistributed through the channels!My one observation that I had not read about or anticipated was the heat that is produced by the little electrical power box that hooks onto the foot of the bed. After about a 5 hours of use, the room where my dad stays became very warm, as did my dad. I also would get very warm every time I went in to check on him or tend to him. I thought it was just us and the unusually warm temperature outside. Then it dawned on me that it was the power box. This is the only ongoing power item in the room sized 20×20 ft. While it’s not a deal breaker in keeping the item, cause it’s benefits far outweigh this one minor caveat, it is something that we have to consider. So, here’s what we’ve done to accommodate the slight rise in temperature: we’ve changed our fleece winter sheets back to crisp cotton, which dad found quite refreshing, and put a little fan in the corner of the room to circulate the cooler air, the air closer to dad’s bed seemed to get a bit stagnant with the extra heat.All that being said, and after making the slight modifications to accommodate the new air mattress, we are most pleased with this purchase! My only regret is that I didn’t make it month’s ago when first home with dad!

I had to buy a special mattress to help prevent bed sores since breaking my hip 3 months ago. This was an excellent selection. It fills up nicely and quickly with adjustable softness or hardness. I don’t like hard mattresses. The webpage described it as very quiet which I found hard to believe and expected to hear it running. So I’m very surprised and pleased that it’s perfectly quiet when running. You wouldn’t even know it’s turned on. I’m having to sleep on our comfy couch because our bed is too high, and mattress fits very well. My husband and I are very pleased with this purchase. And so far, no problem with bed sores. If you’re looking for a comfortable mattress that’s adjustable and silent, this is the one to buy!

Purchased this for my bedridden 98 year old father. Had purchased this same unit over 3 years ago for him. It worked great and kept him free of bedsores. The compressor went bad and would only inflate half the pad. I immediately purchased the same item for him again. It runs silently and does a great job inflating and deflating the mattress pad. I never thought that such a reasonably priced item would last that long.
