Vive Alternating Pressure Pad, Includes Mattress Pad and Electric Pump System

A very satisfactory product. I ordered this five months ago and received it in a reasonable time. It is being used for a family member who has been disabled by a stroke. She was beginning to show signs of bed-sores from the use of a home hospital bed whose mattress (which has since been replaced) deteriorated very rapidly. This device has worked like a champ - easy install, has worked entirely reliably, and functions almost identically to the air mattress that she had in the hospital. The skin irritation - that was precursor to bed-sores - began to fade almost immediately and, after five months of use, no new evidence of skin irritation. It has a nice self-shutdown feature that will turn off after extended use - which is good for us as the patient does spend time out of bed during the day and we sometimes forget to turn it off manually. It's absolutely worth the modest cost in terms of preventing huge pain (and potentially fatal infection) problems for a long-term disabled patient that spends much of the day in bed.

I bought this for my husband when he came out of hospital having broken his pelvis in multiple places - it was easy to assemble although the pipes are quite stiff to get on , but they stay on - it’s a very large single size, nice and long and tucks in at foot if the bed - I didn’t want to get a hospital bed as he’s tall - it’s been going 24 hours a day for several weeks - the little engine is very quiet and sits under the bed - the switch has a noticeable green light so you can see if it’s on or off from a distance - I really recommend this - forget the more expensive ones ! I don’t know about long term but it’s certainly ideal for post surgery - thank you

Un articulo necesario y cómodo para las personas que se encuentran postradas, muy recomendable para que no se lastimen mas estar tanto tiempo acostados

The mattress arrived very quickly, but I could not use it as it was wired for American 120 volt instead of 240 volt Australian- my fault for not checking first. Returning it was managed fairly.

This alternating air pressure mattress pad works great. It’s a bit long for the hospital bed at home but it still works as it should. No leaks, it’s holding up great, keeps my husband comfortable. This pad was definitely an awesome choice and well worth the price.
