For advanced medical mattresses like the Med Aire Alternating Pressure, Low Air Loss Mattress Replacement System or the Invacare microAIR MA600, there’s no need to wait 72 hours for expansion. These high-tech systems utilize dynamic air cells that inflate rapidly as soon as the unit is powered on, reaching optimal pressure and therapeutic support in just minutes. Unlike traditional foam mattresses that require hours to fully expand, low air loss and alternating pressure mattresses are designed for immediate use, delivering effective pressure relief and consistent airflow right away. This quick readiness is especially beneficial for patients who require prompt setup and ongoing comfort, making these mattresses a reliable choice in medical settings.
