Protekt Aire 6500 Bariatric Pressure Mattress
Heavier-Duty Support, Built 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 6500 combines alternating pressure with low air loss in a deeper, 10" build rated to a 660 lb capacity, so it provides steady, even support for a wider range of body sizes. Its air cells inflate and deflate on a continuous cycle to keep weight from settling in any one spot, helping the person resting on it stay comfortable through long, uninterrupted stretches in bed.
The extra depth and higher capacity make the 6500 a confident choice where a standard 8" surface feels too light for the job. It drops onto a standard home or care bed frame, runs quietly enough for a shared bedroom, and pairs with a quilted, water-resistant top cover that wipes clean between changes. A raised-rail version adds bolstered side support for an added sense of security at the edges.
Key Features
- 660 lb weight capacity: a higher-capacity build that delivers even, stable support across a wider range of body sizes.
- Deeper 10" surface: more air column underneath for greater immersion and a more substantial feel than a standard 8" mattress.
- Alternating pressure cycling: air 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.
- Digital pump (SKU 80081): adjustable settings with quiet operation, a power cord, and a CPR quick-release valve for rapid deflation when needed.
- Standard footprint: 36" x 80" x 10", fitting most home and care bed frames.
- Raised-rail option: step up to SKU 86500RR for bolstered side support (overall 10"/13").
Reach for the 6500 over the lighter systems when capacity and depth matter — the 660 lb rating and 10" build give you real headroom rather than running a standard surface at its limit, which is where comfort and longevity both suffer. Decide on raised rails before delivery if edge support is a priority, since the rail version uses a different cover and isn't a simple add-on later. And confirm the bed frame can take the deeper mattress; at 10" you want the sleep surface to sit at a comfortable, safe height once it's in place.

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.
Will the deeper 10" mattress fit a standard bed frame?
Yes — the 36" x 80" footprint matches a standard frame; only the height differs. Because it sits taller than an 8" surface, check the overall height once it's on the frame so the sleep surface ends up at a comfortable, safe level, especially if side rails are in use.
What does the 660 lb capacity actually mean for me?
It's the supported weight the system is rated to hold while still cycling and redistributing pressure properly. Staying within that rating keeps the surface performing as intended; choosing a higher-capacity system like the 6500 gives you margin rather than running a lighter mattress at its ceiling.
