A manifold for a body support apparatus is disposed in a frame together with an air source. This manifold for a body support apparatus includes: a first opening through which air from the air source is supplied; multiple second openings which are connected to openings of the frame; a space which communicates with the first opening; and multiple flow passages which connect the space and the multiple second openings to each other and are designed to open and close. The inside of this manifold for a body support apparatus is sealed.

The present invention discloses a turning air mattress, a turning air cell, and a control method for a turning air mattress. With structural arrangements of an upper portion and a lower portion of the turning air cell as well as inflation and deflation control, the turning air cell having an upper portion that is wider and a lower portion that is narrower can further assist a patient in body turning, enabling the patient to easily achieve a sufficient body turning angle, further reducing the risk of likeliness to pressure sores caused by the structure of the air mattress pressing against the body of the patient.
