Anti Decubitus Medical Turning Over Air Mattress For Elderly ITurnMattress

Description Anti-Decubitus Turning Air Mattress — Medical Pressure Care with Auto Left/Right Turning This anti-decubitus turning air mattress is one of the most advanced pressure-care systems available — it not only alternates pressure continuously, but also gently turns the user from side to side automatically. That combination helps redistribute pressure and support repositioning for people confined to bed for long periods, easing the physical demands on carers who would otherwise need to turn the person by hand. It’s designed for home care, aged care and hospital-level use. Often searched as an anti-decubitus mattress, medical air mattress, hospital air mattress or anti-bedsore air mattress, this system adds automatic turning and head/foot elevation to standard alternating-pressure care. Order today with free NZ-wide delivery → How It Works The mattress is made up of durable air tubes controlled by a pump unit that cycles air through the cells. In alternating mode, the cells inflate and deflate in sequence so the pressure points under the body are always changing — a well-established way to help prevent and manage pressure injuries. Its standout feature is automatic left/right turning: the mattress slowly tilts the user from side to side, supporting the regular repositioning that bed-bound users need, without a carer having to physically turn them each time. Why People Choose This Mattress Automatic left/right turning — supports repositioning and reduces the manual turning carers need to do Alternating pressure — continuous cell cycling to help prevent and manage pressure injuries Head & foot elevation — raise the head or feet for comfort and care Static, alternating & transport modes — flexible for different needs and moving the user Durable heat-sealed air cells — built for long-term use 150kg safe working load Free NZ-wide delivery with a 12-month manufacturer warranty Who It’s For This system is designed for high-dependency users who are bed-bound or spend very long periods in bed with little or no ability to reposition themselves — a group at higher risk of pressure injuries. For people who can still shift position occasionally, or who are at lower risk, a simpler alternating pressure air overlay may be more appropriate. Because pressure-care needs vary from person to person, we recommend a health professional such as a nurse or occupational therapist is involved in choosing the right system. Easing the Load on Carers One of the biggest challenges in caring for a bed-bound person at home is turning them regularly, day and night, to protect their skin. Done by hand, it’s physically demanding and a common cause of carer back strain. This mattress’s automatic turning takes on much of that repositioning, helping protect both the user’s skin and the carer’s wellbeing. It’s a genuine step up from a standard pressure mattress for higher-dependency care — while still working alongside, not replacing, the regular checks a carer or nurse provides.

This mattress isn’t suitable for everyone — for example, it may not suit certain clinical conditions — so we recommend a health professional confirms it’s appropriate before use. It assists with repositioning but does not replace regular clinical care and monitoring. Always follow the instructions and stay within the 150kg safe working load. Frequently Asked Questions What is an anti-decubitus turning mattress? “Decubitus” means pressure injuries (bedsores). This mattress uses alternating air pressure to continuously change the points of contact with the body, and also turns the user gently from side to side automatically — helping prevent and manage pressure injuries for people who spend long periods in bed. Who is this mattress designed for? It’s best suited to high-dependency users with complete or near-complete immobility who can’t reposition themselves. For people who can still shift position occasionally, or who are at lower risk, a simpler alternating pressure air overlay may be more appropriate. If you’re unsure, a nurse or occupational therapist can advise. How does the turning function help carers? Bed-bound users need regular repositioning, which is physically demanding for carers to do by hand and a common cause of caregiver strain and injury. The automatic left/right turning reduces how often a carer needs to manually turn the person, easing that burden. It assists with repositioning but doesn’t fully replace clinical care and monitoring. What’s the difference between this and a standard pressure mattress? Most pressure mattresses only alternate pressure. This system adds automatic turning and head/foot elevation, making it a higher-level solution for users with greater needs. What weight can it support? It has a safe working load of 150kg. Does it still work in a power cut? The static mode provides a stable surface, and pressure-care systems like this are designed to hold air to protect the user. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for use during a power interruption. Can it be funded in New Zealand?
