Protekt Aire 9900 Low Air Loss Mattress System
Protekt Aire 9900 True Low Air Loss Mattress System — Alternating Pressure & Pulsation
Overview
The Protekt Aire 9900 is one of the most capable air mattress systems available, combining true low air loss, alternating pressure, and pulsation in a single powered system. Its 18-bladder cell-on-cell mattress is topped with laser-perforated air bladders that release a steady, gentle flow of air to keep the skin surface cool and dry, while a digital 1,275 LPM blower pump continuously redistributes support with selectable alternate, pulsate, static, and auto-firm modes. Micro-controller technology sets pressure by weight, and the surface supports up to 1,000 lbs.
Thoughtful engineering runs throughout: the cell-on-cell design holds air so the surface won't bottom out during a power failure, and an automatic fowler function senses when the head of the bed is raised and boosts airflow in the middle bladders by 20% for better support. A clear LED control panel with dome keys makes adjusting alternating cycles (5 to 30 minutes) and firmness simple, audio/visual alarms flag power or low-pressure events, internal memory retains settings through an outage, and a lock-out key prevents accidental changes. The fluid-resistant, anti-microbial quilted nylon cover finishes it off. Choose your width and configuration below.
Sizes
- Widths: 36″, 42″, 48″, 54″, and 60″ — all 80″ long.
Configuration Options
- Standard — the base system with the low-air-loss surface. Available in all widths (36″–60″).
- Raised Foam Side Rails — solid foam bumpers form a firm barrier along the perimeter. Available in all widths (36″–60″).
- Air Side Bolsters — raised air chambers along the sides for added edge support. Available in 36″, 42″, and 48″.
Key Features
- True low air loss — laser-perforated bladders keep the skin surface cool and dry.
- Alternating pressure and pulsation — continuous, adjustable redistribution of support.
- Digital 1,275 LPM blower pump — alternate, pulsate, static, and auto-firm modes.
- Adjustable alternating cycles — 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, or 30 minutes; firmness set by weight.
- 18-bladder cell-on-cell design — holds air so it won't bottom out in a power failure.
- Automatic fowler (seat inflate) — boosts middle-bladder airflow 20% when the head is raised.
- Audio/visual alarms (power, low pressure, service) plus internal memory.
- Lock-out key prevents accidental setting changes.
- Fluid-resistant, anti-microbial quilted nylon cover.
- Supports up to 1,000 lbs.
- Choice of standard, raised foam side rails, or air side bolsters.
- 2-year non-prorated warranty.
Equipment Specialist Insight: This is a top-of-the-line support surface, and the "true" in true low air loss is the part that matters — air actually flows through the perforated bladders to keep the skin cool and dry, rather than only inflating and deflating. Match the configuration to the situation: standard suits most setups, raised foam side rails add a firm perimeter barrier, and air side bolsters give raised, cushioned edges for extra support near the sides. The cell-on-cell construction is the safety feature worth understanding — if power drops, the lower cells stay inflated so the surface won't bottom out, and internal memory restores your settings when power returns. Set the pressure by weight on the LED panel, then use the lock-out key so the settings stay put. It arrives as a freight item with a blower pump, so it's worth arranging delivery and setup help — our White Glove service pairs well here. And note the pump and mattress are also available separately as replacements.

What makes it "true" low air loss?
Laser-perforated air bladders release a steady, gentle flow of air to keep the skin surface cool and dry — combined with alternating pressure and pulsation for continuous redistribution of support.
What's the difference between raised foam side rails and air side bolsters?
Foam side rails are solid foam bumpers that form a firm barrier along the perimeter (available in all widths). Air side bolsters are raised air chambers along the sides that provide cushioned edge support (available in 36″, 42″, and 48″). Both add edge security — choose by preference and size.
What happens during a power outage?
The 18-bladder cell-on-cell design holds air so the surface won't bottom out, and internal memory restores your settings automatically when power returns.
