Protekt Aire 6000 Alternating Pressure Mattress
All-Air 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 does more work than anything else in the room. The Protekt Aire 6000 combines alternating pressure with low air loss and 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, all-over relief during long stretches in bed.
The system drops onto a standard home or care bed frame and runs quietly enough for a shared bedroom. It comes in two lengths — a standard 80" and an extended 84" — and in raised-rail versions that add bolstered side support for an added sense of security. A quilted, water-resistant top cover wipes clean between changes, so the daily routine stays simple for whoever is doing the caregiving.
Key Features
- Cell-on-cell air construction: a full layer of air cells beneath the surface cells means support is delivered entirely by air, allowing deeper immersion and consistent pressure relief 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 CPR quick-release valve for rapid deflation when needed.
- Two lengths: standard 36" x 80" x 8" and extended 36" x 84" x 8" to match the bed frame.
- Raised-rail options: bolstered side rails (overall 8"/11") on the 80065 and 80067 versions for added edge support.
- Quilted, water-resistant top cover: low-shear surface that wipes down easily and resists fluids.
Choose the 6000 when you want an all-air surface: because support comes from cells rather than a foam or fiber base, the body immerses more deeply and relief stays consistent across the mattress. Two decisions to make before you order — match the length to the bed frame (80" or 84"), and decide on raised rails up front, since the rail versions use a different cover and aren't a simple retrofit later. Keep the replacement parts bookmarked too: a single bladder runs about $26, and the top cover is usually the first thing to show wear — just order the cover that matches your length and rail configuration.

How does setup work when it arrives?
Lay the mattress on the existing bed frame, connect the hose from the mattress to the deluxe 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.
What's the difference between cell-on-cell and a foam- or fiber-base system?
On a cell-on-cell surface, the layer beneath the top cells is also air, so the entire mattress supports the body with air rather than relying on a foam or fiber base for structure. That allows deeper, more even immersion and keeps relief consistent across the surface. Foam- or fiber-base systems (such as the Protekt Aire 5000) use a firmer support layer underneath instead — a good fit for different needs and budgets.
I only need a replacement part — which one fits my size?
Parts are length- and configuration-specific. For the cover, order 80063 for the 80" or 80069 for the 84"; for the mattress, 80062 for the 80" or 80068 for the 84". The bladder (80064, non-ventilated) and deluxe pump (80061) are shared across compatible models. Because the bladder and mattress are also used on the 3600/4600DX lines, confirm your exact model and length before ordering.
