Benefits of an Alternating Air Mattress: An alternating pressure mattress, such as the PressureGuard APM2, provides periodic relief to body pressure points by inflating and deflating air cells, thereby enhancing circulation and reducing the risk of pressure ulcers. These mattresses are particularly beneficial for bedridden patients, as they offer continuous pressure relief across all parts of the body without causing disturbance during sleep.
