Drive Medical Balanced Aire Convertible Mattress

The Drive Medical Balanced Aire convertible mattress replacement system offers advanced pressure redistribution and shear reduction to help prevent, treat, and heal pressure ulcers in home care or long-term care environments. Featuring self-adjusting air and foam cells alongside eight non-circular cylinders, it dynamically responds to body weight and pressure shifts while preventing rolling and gapping.

Constructed with a 2.5-inch hybrid visco foam top layer for enhanced comfort and heat dissipation, this mattress also includes a dedicated heel slope and high-density perimeter foam for firm edge support and safe patient transfers. Its removable 4-way stretch polyurethane cover is fluid-resistant, vapor-permeable, antimicrobial, and latex-free, and the entire system easily converts to a powered alternating pressure surface when paired with a compatible pump.

Frequently asked questions Can this non-powered mattress be converted into an alternating pressure system? Yes, adding an optional alternating pressure pump (such as model 14005E or BA9600-PUMP) converts the Balanced Aire into a dynamic powered system. What is the weight capacity of the mattress? The mattress has a weight capacity of up to 500 lbs. What material is used for the outer cover? It comes with a removable 4-way stretch polyurethane cover that is fluid-resistant, low-shear, vapor-permeable, antimicrobial, antifungal, and latex-free. How do the internal air cells function without power? The self-adjusting air and foam cylinders naturally respond to patient body weight and movement to redistribute pressure across open or closed cell settings.
