Three pressure zones for balanced support — this air mattress is designed to redistribute pressure, support vulnerable areas, and improve comfort during extended bed rest.

The Drive Medical Balanced Aire Mattress is a pressure relief mattress system created to help prevent and manage pressure injuries in home care, long-term care, and clinical environments. Its three-zone design automatically supports different parts of the body, with special attention given to the heel section.

A high-density foam perimeter provides solid edge support for safer transfers, while the fluid-resistant stretch cover helps improve comfort and day-to-day durability. Powered configurations add airflow and pressure cycling for more advanced therapy support.

Who Is This Mattress Best For?

• Patients at risk for pressure injuries or skin breakdown
• Users needing zoned pressure redistribution
• Individuals requiring stronger transfer edge support
• Home care, long-term care, and clinical environments
• Caregivers looking for a pressure relief surface with multiple configuration options

Quick Summary

• Three distinct self-adjusting pressure zones
• Heel section slopes from 7" to 5" for targeted heel protection
• High-density foam perimeter for safer transfers
• Fluid-resistant stretch cover
• Available in powered and non-powered configurations

Why Choose the Balanced Aire?

The Balanced Aire stands out because it is designed around three body zones instead of a one-surface-fits-all approach. This helps provide more targeted support where pressure injuries often begin.

Its foam perimeter also adds a practical safety advantage for transfers, making it easier for caregivers and more stable for patients getting in and out of bed.

If you're looking for a pressure relief air mattress that combines comfort, heel protection, and transfer support, the Balanced Aire is a strong option.
