Works good
I'm in a wheelchair, but not paralyzed. So when I'm uncomfortable in bed I feel it. First purchased a gel infused memory foam pad, returned it because it wasn't working for me. Then I purchased a different model pump and pad but it had no flaps to tuck under mattress and it didn't have an adjustable pressure knob. So then I ordered this one and it has everything I was looking for. So here's a list of Pro's and Con's...Pro's:1. Long flaps to tuck under mattress to help hold it in place.2. Adjustable pressure knob to make bubble cells softer or harder. (Main reason I ordered a different model)3. Very easy tubes to connect compared to last pump/pad I'm returning.4. Very quiet pump as long as you put tube connection end at the foot of your bed.5. Really good price. You can't put a price on being comfortable in bed and preventing bed sores.Con's:1. Makes it a little harder on my caregiver to turn/slide me on it, but trade-off is worth it to hopefully not get pressure sores.2. The width feels vary narrow. I wish it had 1-2 rows to make it wider. (The reason I gave it 4/5 stars)3. I like to use a thin head pillow but the bubble cells under my head when I'm on my side push into my ear a little.

A good idea for the bedridden individual
An excellent idea for the bedridden individual. My suggestion is that a thin foam pad be placed over it. Feedback from my patient is that the bubbles are too hard, even on the softest setting. On the other hand, I tried it and thought it was Wonderful!The motor is very quiet. When turned off the pad goes flat. It's a good idea to turn it on a half hour before going to bed. The long flaps on the ends keeps it more seciurely in place.

and like it just fine
Got this quite a time ago, and like it just fine, use it all the time. Once thought that the inflatior had gone bad, but I turned it off, let the air out, turned it back on, and it started working again..

Affordable option to a low air flow mattress and very well worth the investment. Comes with the pump and can be used with a regular bed once the insurance takes the hospital bed away/

Alternating Pressure Pad
I liked this pad so much when I got one for my husband's side of the bed, I ordered one for myself. This product was exactly as advertised in the description, and is an excellent buy for the price. While I have had it for less than a month, the pain I was experiencing in my back, hips, and shoulder due to rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia are relieved to the point that I can actually sleep for long periods of time now. It has been a long time since I was comfortable enough for that to happen. If there are any cons to this product, it is just that being made of a vinyl-like substance, you need to place a pad of some sort over it before placing the sheet to avoid sweating, but that is reasonable and easily remedied. I would recommend this product to anyone with pain due to an inadequate mattress and I found it worked as well as, if not better than, purchasing a new mattress for thousands of dollars.
