Balanced Aire Non-Powered Self Adjusting Convertible Mattress
Balanced Aire Non-Powered Self-Adjusting Convertible Mattress Replacement System
Self-Adjusting Air/Foam Cell Core, 2.5″ Hybrid Visco Memory Foam Top Layer, Convertible Powered Alternating Pressure Capability, High-Density Perimeter Edge Support, Built-In Heel Slope, and Fluid-Resistant PU Stretch Cover
Managing skin breakdown, shear forces, and tissue pressure redistribution in bedbound individuals requires an advanced clinical support surface. The Balanced Aire Non-Powered Self-Adjusting Convertible Mattress is a reactive mattress replacement system designed for exceptional pressure redistribution, friction reduction, and long-term patient comfort. Ideal for preventing, treating, and managing pressure ulcers across home care and long-term care settings, it automatically adapts to body weight and position changes without requiring electricity.
Engineered with a hybrid 2.5-inch Visco memory foam top layer, the Balanced Aire immerses the body to dissipate heat while eight non-circular anti-roll cylinders prevent cell gapping. The mattress features high-density firm foam side bolsters for safe edge seating and patient transfers, along with an anatomical heel slope to offload vulnerable heel pressure. For expanding care needs, it easily converts into a dynamic powered system by connecting an external alternating pressure pump (compatible with 14005E or BA9600-PUMP units).
Key Performance Features & Benefit Highlights
- Self-Adjusting Air/Foam Core: Internal cells automatically recalibrate to user weight and movement, eliminating complex manual pressure adjustments.
- Convertible Dynamic Pump Port: Converts effortlessly from a non-powered surface to a powered alternating pressure mattress by connecting a compatible pump.
- 2.5″ Hybrid Visco Comfort Top: Premium memory foam layer enhances body immersion, reduces shear strain, and dissipates body heat away from fragile skin.
- Firm Perimeter Edge Support: High-density foam bolsters stabilize the mattress edges to support safe patient ingress, egress, and sitting transfers.
- Built-In Anatomical Heel Slope: Sloped foot section redistributes pressure away from delicate heel tissue toward lower calf regions.
- Anti-Roll Cylinder Construction: Eight non-circular internal cylinders eliminate rolling and cell gapping to preserve uniform support.
- Fluid-Resistant 4-Way Stretch Cover: Removable polyurethane cover is vapor-permeable, antimicrobial, antifungal, and low-shear to shield skin from friction and moisture.
- Safety & Flammability Compliant: Latex-free formulation meeting strict CFR 1632 and CFR 1633 federal flammability safety standards.
Mobility Aid & Support Insight: Non-powered self-adjusting mattresses offer continuous pressure redistribution without relying on electrical outlets or noisy motors. The ability to plug in an alternating pressure pump later allows care teams to scale up therapy seamlessly if skin degradation risks advance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does the mattress convert into a powered system?
A: The mattress includes external air connection ports. You can simply connect a compatible alternating pressure pump (such as the 14005E or BA9600-PUMP) without needing to replace the mattress.
Q: What is the benefit of the built-in heel slope?
A: The heel is one of the most vulnerable areas for pressure sores. The sloped foot zone shifts patient weight onto the calf, relieving direct pressure off the heels.
Q: Is the 42-inch wide model suitable for bariatric patients?
A: Yes! Model BA9600-NP-42 measures 80″ L × 42″ W × 7″ H and is engineered specifically with a wider surface and higher weight capacity for bariatric care needs.
