Proactive Protekt Aire 6450 Foam Base Mattress
Protekt Aire 6450 Low Air Loss & Alternating Pressure Mattress with Foam Base
Alternating Pressure with a Built-In 3" Foam Foundation
The Protekt Aire 6450 combines alternating pressure and low air loss with an integrated 3" densified fiber support base. The air chambers cycle continuously to redistribute body weight and reduce surface friction during extended periods of rest, while the foam foundation underneath keeps the surface stable and prevents bottoming out — even if the control unit loses power.
The quiet control unit runs without disrupting the surrounding environment. Whether setting up a standard room or updating an existing frame configuration, this design delivers reliable support with the added security of a permanent base layer.
Key Features
- 3" densified fiber base: permanent foundation layer that stays firm regardless of pump status, preventing contact with the bed frame.
- Alternating pressure cycling: 20 independent air chambers inflate and deflate in sequence to continually redistribute support.
- Low air loss micro-holes: laser-cut openings release a constant low flow of air beneath the cover to reduce moisture and heat buildup.
- 450 lb weight capacity: high-capacity framework safely supports up to 450 lbs.
- Low-shear quilted cover: fluid-proof and vapor-permeable; wipes down easily and zips off for washing.
- Quick-release CPR valves: exhaust internal air within seconds for rapid deflation.
- Raised Rail option (SKU 86450RR): bolstered side edges for added positioning support during transfers.
The 6450 is a good fit when a permanent base layer is a priority — the 3" foam foundation means the lowest level of support never deflates. For individuals who transition frequently between sitting and lying positions, the foam base adds predictable stability that a fully-air system does not provide. Choose the Raised Rail version before delivery; the rail configuration uses a different cover and is not a simple retrofit later.

What does the 3" foam base add compared to a fully-air system?
The densified fiber base stays firm even if the control unit loses power, ensuring the individual is always supported above the hard bed frame. It also adds edge stability and a more predictable feel when getting in and out of bed.
How do the low air loss micro-holes work?
The air chambers feature laser-cut openings that release a low, constant flow of air beneath the quilted cover. This continuous movement helps reduce moisture buildup and dissipate body heat during long periods of rest.
Can the alternating pressure function be paused for transfers?
Yes. The control unit can be switched to static mode, which equalizes pressure across all 20 cells to form a firm, level surface for easier entry and exit.
