The PressureGuard Custom Care Convertible Mattress is a therapeutic pressure redistribution surface designed for advanced skin protection, patient positioning, and long-term care support. Available in both non-powered and powered configurations, this mattress uses Span America’s Star Chamber technology to maintain air-filled support cylinders that help distribute weight and reduce concentrated pressure, even when the surface is not powered.

Why Choose the PressureGuard Custom Care Convertible Mattress?
The PressureGuard Custom Care Convertible Mattress is built for patients who need a more advanced therapeutic support surface than standard foam or basic air mattresses can provide. Its air support cylinders remain filled regardless of powered mode, helping maintain pressure redistribution and patient support at all times.
The mattress is also designed to address major clinical concerns such as shear, pressure concentration, vulnerable bony prominences, transfer safety, and entrapment reduction. For facilities and home care environments needing greater flexibility, the powered configuration can add therapy modes such as alternating pressure and lateral rotation.
