Proactive Medical Protekt Aire 6000AB Air Mattress System with Air Bolsters
Proactive Protekt Aire 6000AB Alternating Pressure Air Mattress
All-Air Support with a Raised, Secure Edge
When users spend most of the day and night on the same surface during an extended home care routine, the mattress underneath does more work than anything else in the room. The Protekt Aire 6000AB pairs alternating pressure and low air loss with a cell-on-cell construction, so support comes entirely from air rather than a foam or fiber base. The surface cells inflate and deflate on a continuous cycle to keep weight from settling in any one spot, while a full layer of cells underneath lets the body immerse evenly for steady daily comfort across long stretches in bed.
What sets the AB variant apart is its raised air bolsters: inflatable side cells, powered by the same pump, that build up a firmer, raised perimeter along both edges of the mattress. That defined edge gives active individuals something to feel and push against when shifting position or moving toward the side of the bed, and adds a reassuring sense of security through the night. Bolsters and all, the system drops onto a standard home bed frame and runs quietly enough for a shared bedroom, with a quilted, water-resistant top cover that wipes clean during a daily routine.
Key Performance Features
- Raised Air Bolsters: Inflatable side cells form a firmer, raised perimeter (bringing the edges to 11") for a defined, supportive edge and added security.
- Cell-on-Cell Air Construction: A full layer of air cells beneath the surface cells means support is delivered entirely by air, for deeper immersion and consistent posture relaxation across the whole surface.
- Alternating Pressure Cycling: Cells inflate and deflate in sequence to continually redistribute support and relieve sustained pressure on any single area.
- Low Air Loss Airflow: Gentle surface circulation helps manage heat and moisture for cooler, drier comfort over extended periods in bed.
- Deluxe Digital Pump (SKU 80061): Adjustable settings with quiet operation, a power cord, and a rapid safety deflation valve when needed.
- Standard Footprint: 36" x 80" dimensions with an 8" deep profile that rises to 11" at the bolsters, fitting most home bed frames.
- Quilted, Water-Resistant Top Cover: Low-shear, fluid-resistant surface that wipes down easily for quick textile preservation.
Equipment Specialist Insight: Reach for the AB over the standard 6000 when edge security matters. The air bolsters are built directly into the mattress and inflate with the same pump, so you get a raised, supportive perimeter without installing a separate mechanical rail. Keep the replacement parts bookmarked: the AB mattress, cover, and bladder are specific to the air-bolster lines (3600AB / 4600DXAB / 6000AB), so match those AB part numbers rather than the standard 6000 parts when you reorder.
