Tranquility AIR-Plus Breathable Underpad – 30x36 Inch

Not all disposable underpads are created equal — and for patients at serious risk of pressure ulcers, the difference between a standard chux pad and the Tranquility AIR-Plus matters clinically, not just in terms of comfort. Most disposable underpads use a solid plastic backsheet that traps heat and moisture vapor between the pad and the mattress, creating the warm, humid microclimate where skin breakdown accelerates. The AIR-Plus is built differently: its 100% breathable microporous backsheet allows heat, air, and moisture vapor to escape through the pad, making it the underpad of choice for low-air-loss bed systems where airflow to the skin is the primary therapeutic mechanism — and a meaningfully better option for any patient at elevated risk for incontinence-associated dermatitis or pressure injury.

Who This Is For

• Patients using a low-air-loss or alternating pressure mattress system where a standard plastic-backed underpad would block the therapeutic airflow the mattress is designed to deliver
• Bedridden or immobile patients at high risk for pressure ulcers where skin microclimate management — keeping the skin cool and dry — is a clinical priority
• Bariatric patients requiring safe repositioning support — the reinforced backsheet supports boosting, turning, and repositioning of individuals up to 450 lbs without tearing
• Home caregivers managing overnight incontinence protection for a loved one who needs heavy-absorbency coverage that lasts through the night without requiring a change
• Care facilities, home health agencies, and hospice providers looking for a clinical-grade underpad that meets the skin integrity standards required for high-acuity patients

Key Features

• 100% Breathable Microporous Backsheet — Designed for Low-Air-Loss Beds: This is the defining feature that separates the AIR-Plus from standard disposable underpads. The microporous backsheet is engineered with millions of microscopic pores that allow heat, air, and water vapor to pass through from the skin surface downward — while remaining impermeable to liquid. When placed on a low-air-loss mattress, this breathability preserves the mattress's ability to circulate air to the patient's skin rather than blocking it with a solid plastic layer. For patients not using a specialty mattress, the breathable backsheet still reduces heat and moisture buildup beneath the pad — meaningfully improving skin microclimate compared to a standard chux.
• PowerSorb Embossed Core — 34 oz Capacity, Over 3x a Single Void: The average adult releases 8–12 oz per void. The AIR-Plus holds up to 34 oz — enough capacity to manage multiple voids without saturation, making it reliable for overnight use without a mid-night change. The PowerSorb embossed channels are raised ridges in the absorbent core that rapidly draw fluid away from the surface and distribute it evenly throughout the core, preventing pooling at a single point and locking moisture in place so it cannot be reabsorbed back to the skin surface when the patient moves or shifts position.
• Reinforced Backsheet Supports Repositioning Up to 450 lbs: Standard disposable underpads tear easily when used for patient repositioning — particularly with bariatric patients. The AIR-Plus backsheet is extra-strength cloth-like material specifically reinforced to withstand the pulling forces of boosting, turning, and repositioning without tearing. This makes the pad a functional repositioning aid in addition to an absorbent underpad, reducing the need for separate turning sheets in home care environments.
• Seamless Clothlike Topsheet — Minimizes Pressure Points and Shear: The topsheet is a single-piece quilted cloth-like material with no seams, lumps, or raised edges. Seams and uneven surfaces on underpads create focal pressure points and shear forces against fragile skin — a real concern for patients with thin skin, existing skin breakdown, or reduced sensation. The consistently smooth surface distributes contact pressure evenly and reduces friction during repositioning.
• Color-Coded Placement — Peach Side Down: The backsheet has a distinct peach color with printed indicators that clearly show which side faces down against the mattress. This eliminates placement confusion during rushed caregiver changes — a practical detail that matters when multiple caregivers manage the same patient across shifts.
• Odor Control Through Fast Fluid Locking: Odor from incontinence pads is primarily generated when urine remains in contact with air at the surface. The PowerSorb core's rapid wicking action pulls fluid away from the surface quickly and locks it in the polymer core where odor-generating bacteria have limited access to oxygen — reducing ambient odor in the care environment significantly compared to slower-absorbing pads where fluid pools on the surface.
• Latex-Free, Made in the USA: Safe for patients with latex sensitivities. Manufactured domestically by Principle Business Enterprises — a specialist incontinence products manufacturer with a clinical focus on skin integrity rather than a general consumer products brand.
