Product Details

Dual Air Therapy with Industry-Leading Comfort and Safety

The Span America PressureGuard® APM² Mattress delivers powerful pressure redistribution through alternating pressure and lateral rotation therapies. With the flip of a switch, caregivers can activate the appropriate therapy mode, promoting circulation and skin integrity. This industry-leading mattress features Shear Transfer Zones®, Geo-Matt® segmented surface, and the patented Safety Edge™ to help reduce falls and pressure injuries. With a quiet, digital control unit and a durable LifeSpan® antimicrobial cover, this surface offers exceptional comfort, ease of use, and long-term durability—making it ideal for hospitals, long-term care, and home settings.

✅ Key Features:

  • Dual Therapy Function: Easily switch between alternating pressure and lateral rotation without disconnecting air lines—enhancing care versatility.
  • Shear Transfer Zones®: Silicone-coated fabric bands under the cover reduce damaging micro and macro shear forces.
  • Geo-Matt® Segmented Top Surface: Over 800 articulating cells minimize pressure points, control moisture, and reduce heat.
  • Safety Edge™ Design: Raised, cradling edges promote midline positioning and reduce the risk of falls and entrapment.
  • Auto Firm Mode: Provides 20 minutes of increased firmness for transfers, CPR, and ADLs, then reverts to prior therapy setting automatically.

Quiet and easy to control

We've used powered mattresses before, but this one is quieter and more intuitive to set up.

Slight learning curve

Took a few tries to get the settings where we wanted them, but works perfectly now.

Regina S.

I was thrilled when I found out we could get the same mattress my dad loved at the rehab facility in our home. In the past he has had to go into SNF's due to wounds and having this mattress at home has been life changing. Great product that does exactly what it says.

Pump is a bit bulky

The pump unit is slightly larger than expected, but it runs quietly.

Does the PressureGuard® APM² mattress require any setup?

Setup is minimal. Simply connect the digital control unit and select your preferred therapy mode - alternating pressure or lateral rotation.

What is the Auto Firm feature used for?

Auto Firm inflates the mattress for 20 minutes, making transfers, CPR, and caregiving activities easier, then switches back to the selected therapy mode.

Is PressureGuard® APM² mattress suitable for home care?

Yes, the APM² is available in standard consumer sizes and is ideal for both home and professional environments.

How does the Shear Transfer Zone help?

It reduces friction and shear forces on vulnerable areas like heels and sacrum by transferring stress to more resilient anchor points.

What’s the noise level of the pump?

The digital control unit is designed to operate quietly, ensuring restful sleep even while therapy is in progress.
