Plastic Airbed With Bubble Mattress

People who remain in bed for long hours tend to develop bed sores also known as pressure ulcers which are not only painful but can lead to infection and other complications. You can avoid this by using an Airbed with bubble mattress.Bed SoresThe main reason for bed sores is the constant contact of the body to the bed in combination with friction, humidity, temperature, continence, medication, shearing forces, age and continuous pressure. The most common areas prone to ulcers are bony or cartilaginous areas, such as the elbows, knees, ankles and the base of the spine and the upper and back part of the pelvic cavity. If you notice them early, they are treatable.Active airbedsActive airbeds with pumps such as this one help in the prevention of bed sores. You can use this bed on top of a regular mattress. The air bed contains air cavities which fill up alternately in a 5 – 6 minute cycle. This results in the weight of the body being borne by different parts of the mattress at different times. This ensures that no part of the body is constantly in touch with the mattress.
