Protekt Aire 5000DX Alternating Pressure Mattress
Comfortable, Pressure-Relieving Support for Long Hours in Bed
When someone spends most of the day and night on the same surface — recovering at home, settling into a long-term care routine, or being looked after by family — the mattress underneath matters more than almost anything else in the room. The Protekt Aire 5000DX pairs alternating pressure with low air loss to keep body weight from concentrating in any single spot. Its air cells inflate and deflate on a continuous cycle, gently shifting where support is applied so the person resting on it stays comfortable through long, uninterrupted stretches of bed time.
The system is built to drop straight onto a standard home or care bed frame and run quietly enough for a shared bedroom. A 3" densified fiber support base gives the mattress genuine structure, so getting in and out feels stable rather than sinking, and the quilted top cover wipes clean between changes. For the household managing daily care, those practical details — simple setup, quiet operation, easy cleanup — are what make the routine smoother day after day.
Key Features
- Alternating pressure cycling: air cells inflate and deflate in sequence to continually redistribute support and relieve sustained pressure on any one area.
- Low air loss airflow: gentle surface circulation helps manage heat and moisture for cooler, drier comfort during extended periods in bed.
- Digital pump (SKU 80041DX): adjustable settings with quiet operation, a hardwired power cord, and a CPR quick-release valve for rapid deflation when needed.
- 3" densified fiber support base: adds firmness and edge stability for steadier transfers and a non-sinking feel.
- Quilted, water-resistant top cover: low-shear surface that wipes down easily and resists fluids.
- Standard footprint: 36" x 80" x 8" fits most home and care bed frames.
- Raised-rail option available: step up to SKU 80050DXRR for bolstered side support (overall 36" x 80" x 8"/11").
If you are outfitting a bed for someone who will be on the surface for long stretches each day, buy the complete 5000DX system rather than piecing it together — the pump, bladders, fiber base, and cover are engineered to work as one unit. Keep this listing's replacement parts bookmarked, though: the cover and bladders wear first, and being able to swap a single bladder for $26 instead of replacing the whole system is what makes this line economical over the long run. If side security is a priority, choose the raised-rail (RR) version before delivery rather than retrofitting later.

How does setup work when it arrives?
Lay the mattress on the existing bed frame, connect the hose from the mattress to the digital pump, hang the pump at the foot of the bed, and plug it in. The pump begins its cycle automatically — no tools required. Allow a few minutes for the cells to reach full inflation before use.
How do I clean the cover, and can it handle accidents?
The quilted top cover is water-resistant and wipes down with a mild cleaner or a diluted bleach solution per the care label. It is designed to resist fluids and reduce shear at the surface. Avoid harsh solvents, which can break down the protective coating over time.
I only need one part, not the whole system — which SKU?
Match the SKU to the worn component: 80053 for the top cover, 80054 for a single non-ventilated bladder, 80052 for the full replacement mattress with base, and 80041DX for the digital pump. Note that the bladder and mattress are shared across the 3500/5000DX/6450 lines and the pump across the 4000DX/4600DX/5000DX lines, so confirm your exact model before ordering.
