Beds

The concept of air works incredibly well, when you are using an alternating pressure mattress. There is continuous, lateral flow & the pressure is variable. The perfect number bed does NONE of these. The clinical settings of hospital burn units & over a million skilled nursing beds in the USA & millions more worldwide show what works & does not. The prevelence & incidence of decubitus ulcers in thousand of Skilled nursing beds were reduced from 6% to .4% with tempurpedic mattresses.
Comparing clinical mattresses with detailed pressure mapping & clinical outcomes is comprabl;e to looking at endurance races, such as 24 hr Daytona or 12 hr Sebring.
If you are interested, I can e-mail you the medical articles, explaining pressurew gradient readings.
The walls of the visco-elastic cells for Tempur-Pedic are three times thicker than the competitors.
