A patient support system includes a scale system, an air system, and a lift system. The patient support system also includes a control system configured to graphically communicate information about the scale system, the air system, and the lift system to a user.

A non-powered mattress including a cover enclosing a frame structure and a bladder assembly, the cover adapted to engage an articulated frame to control movement of portions of the foam frame and the bladder assembly in response to movement of the articulated frame.

A mattress system includes microclimate control capabilities for providing quality sleep experience. The mattress system includes a first side rail, a second side rail, a core positioned between the first side rail and the second side rail, a layer positioned under the core, and multiple straps extending from at least one of the first side rail and the second side rail and connected to the layer.

An article of manufacture includes a first discrete inflatable body having a first core member cut from a single slab of core material and a first root portion, and further includes a second discrete inflatable body comprising a second core member cut from the single slab of core material and a second root portion. Each of the first and second core members includes a plurality of ribs, and the ribs extend laterally from the first and second root portions.

A molded mattress having a one piece seamless cover with a ventilation plug mounted in a tamper resistant recess formed surrounding a ventilation hole. The one piece seamless cover may have a plurality of airways formed in the cover to allow air circulation between the user and the mattress cover. The one piece seamless cover is integrally rotomolded to form a rugged comfortable mattress for intensive use environments. An RFID communication chip may be inserted in the cover for information management. The cover may be formed from solid color, translucent or transparent material.

A mattress can include one or more layers of foam material, an adjustable air layer including an air bladder, and a valve. The valve can be fluidically connected to the air bladder and configured to regulate pressure of the air bladder in response to actuation. Some embodiments can include a foam material positioned inside the air bladder.

The hybrid air immersion mattress is a non-powered complete support system using an adjustable zoned air/foam filled cells and self inflating automatic pressure relief system that surrounds the patient and conforms to an individual's shape to provide skin/soft tissue injury protection and assist in wound healing providing greater immersion and comfort. The air/foam filled cells conform to an individual's shape to provide skin/soft tissue injury protection and assist in wound healing. The air immersion mattress stimulates a fluid environment which enhances the prevention and management of pressure ulcers, skin flaps, and grafts. The hybrid air immersion mattress is designed for comfort and enhanced circulation utilizing adjustable air bladders together with high density support foam. The apparatus includes a low friction mattress cover top, memory foam topper, mattresses air bladder containing air and foam elements, foam foundation, mattress bottom, inflation valve for the bolsters, and adjustable valves for the air bladders.

A patient support system includes a scale system, an air system, and a lift system. The patient support system also includes a control system configured to graphically communicate information about the scale system, the air system, and the lift system to a user.

A self-inflating stowable bed. The bed includes one or more self-inflating chambers, with each of the self-inflating chambers having one or more polyurethane foam sections therein, with the chamber defined between a first air impervious layer and a second air impervious layer. The self-inflating bed may be evacuated by a household or shop vacuum, and then sealed, rolled or folded, and easily stored or shipped. The polyurethane foam sections may be provided with different members having different indentation force deflection specifications suitable for bed portions and edge of bed portions.

A method of assembling a floatation device and a floatation device is disclosed. The method can include providing a casing having an upper fabric layer and a lower porous layer. A plurality of dividers can be connected at a first end to the upper fabric layer and at a second end to the lower porous layer. Edges of the upper fabric layer and the lower fabric layer can be connected by a zipper. The upper fabric layer and the lower fabric layer can define a chamber therebetween, and the plurality of dividers dividing the chamber into a plurality of sleeves. A plurality of foam floatation members can be installed in a respective sleeve of the plurality of sleeves, and the zipper can be closed to form a floatatable platform.
