Heavy Duty Compact Sit-to-Stand Lift – Proactive Medical Protekt STS 500 Electric

Picked this up for my uncle who’s in long-term care at home. Wasn’t sure what to expect, but it works great. Setup was simple, pressure alternates like it should, and it’s helped reduce skin breakdown. One star off because I wish it shipped next day, but it’s not a dealbreaker. Overall, great for what we paid.

If you're in a pinch and need something dependable, it’s solid. The air cycles keep the pressure off my grandma’s back, and she’s more comfortable than she’s been in weeks. Controls are old-school but I actually prefer that. You just have to know what you're doing and it’ll serve you well.

My dad needed an alternating pressure mattress ASAP after a hospital stay, and we couldn’t wait for insurance approvals. This one was in our budget and came quick. It’s basic, but it does what it needs to. The pressure settings are manual, which actually made it easier for us to understand and adjust for him. Not fancy, but reliable and gave him comfort he wasn’t getting from a regular mattress.

5 stars from our staff

As a manager at a senior care facility, I highly recommend the SLB48-X by Medacure. This bed has proven to be a dependable asset in meeting the diverse needs of our residents, with its adjustable width and length allowing us to easily tailor the setup for individual comfort and health requirements. The tool-free assembly has been a significant time-saver for our team, especially Joe who is now having back issues - and this made setup swift and stress-free.

This mattress cost a lot, but it worth every penny. Fit perfect on my other brand hospital bed, no problem at all. The lateral rotation and air flow help so much with my back and sores. Delivery was fast, come right to my door.

Special thanks to Cindy, she help me over the phone with all my questions, very nice lady. I was worry about setup but she explain everything, very patient. This mattress is expensive, but my comfort and health very important, so I’m happy with it.

I’ve been using the Air Stream Direct Low Air Loss Mattress for a few months now, and it’s been a great addition to my Drive Homecare bed. As long as you get the correct size (I got the 36" wide), it fits perfectly and works just as described. The direct air loss feature keeps the surface cool and dry, which has been a huge help for skin protection. The alternating pressure system is fantastic, and the cell-on-cell design gives me peace of mind in case of power outages.

The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that I think the pump could be a little quieter, but it’s still not a deal breaker. Overall, the mattress delivers on its promises, and I love how it integrates so well with my existing bed. Highly recommend if you need solid pressure relief and a good fit for your hospital bed!

I couldn’t be happier with my decision to invest in the Air Stream Direct Low Air Loss Mattress right from the start! This mattress has been a game changer for my father, who needs constant pressure relief due to his condition. The cool, dry air feature really makes a difference in his comfort, and the built-in air bolsters have given us peace of mind, knowing he’s safe from falls.

The customer support from MedShop was exceptional—they walked me through every feature and answered all my questions before purchase. It was great to feel so confident about getting exactly what we needed. The quiet pump and easy adjustments make daily care so much easier, and knowing it helps prevent bedsores has been priceless. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a high-quality mattress and great service!

I’ve been using the Salute RDX Alternating Pressure Mattress for my mum, and it’s made a world of difference. The alternating pressure therapy is excellent—it really helps prevent her bedsores from getting worse. The Happy Feet feature is a lovely touch, as her heels are quite fragile, and this adds that extra bit of softness she needs. I’m especially impressed with the micro low air loss. It keeps her cool and dry, which is vital here in the US where it can get quite warm.

What’s really reassuring is that even during power cuts, the mattress stays inflated with the cell-in-cell design, so she’s never left uncomfortable. The 3-in-1 therapy cycles are easy to adjust, and the modular design makes cleaning straightforward. I can’t fault this mattress—it’s simply brilliant for anyone caring for a loved one at home. Definitely worth every penny!

I buy this Prius Universal Therapy Air Mattress because I have bad back and stay in bed long time. It work good for me. The pump is quiet and change the pressure, so I don't feel much pain on my back or hips. I like that it has a button so I can make the bed soft or harder by myself, that is easy for me. The mattress also have a foam under the air so if power goes out, I still feel okay. I don't give 5 stars because sometimes the foam part move a little bit, but overall it is good and keep me comfortable.

Good for anyone who need to stay in bed and don't want to get more sore

fits my wifes bed and the coolness really works

Bought this to help prevent pressure sores, and it’s done the job. The dual inflate/deflate function is convenient. Worth the purchase!

they left it out in the driveway and i was fortunate my son was in town to assist, please next time give me a notice, how did you expect me to bring it inside?

Easy setup and operation. The whisper-quiet pump makes night care stress-free, although I wish the instructions were a bit clearer.

I got this mattress for my dad, and it’s been such a great purchase. He’s much more comfortable with the extra support from the air cells, and I love that it customizes the pressure to his weight. The raised sides gives us peace of mind knowing he won’t fall out of bed. The cover is soft and easy to clean and doesnt leave a smell, and i found the controls are simple to use. Plus, the quick inflate option makes it easy to adjust when needed.
The only downside was that the mattress arrived 5 days after the bed, which was a bit inconvenient. It would have been better to deliver everything at the same time. But overall, it’s really made a difference in his comfort and safety! The main thing is it prevented him from having bed sores, so we are pleased.
