Dual therapy pressure relief without replacing your mattress — the Protekt Aire 2000 adds alternating pressure and low air loss therapy directly on top of an existing bed, delivering meaningful skin protection at a practical price point.

The Protekt Aire 2000 is an alternating pressure and low air loss overlay system designed for patients who need therapeutic support but do not require a full mattress replacement. It sits on top of an existing mattress and immediately improves pressure redistribution and airflow — two of the most important factors in preventing skin breakdown during extended bed rest.

Seventeen individual air bladders cycle pressure continuously while 16 laser air holes deliver low air loss airflow to keep the skin cooler and drier. The quiet pump and adjustable airflow dial make it straightforward to set up and maintain — important features when the system needs to run reliably day and night in a home care environment.

Who Is This Mattress Overlay Best For?

• Patients at risk for pressure injuries or early skin breakdown
• Caregivers who want to add therapy to an existing mattress without a full replacement
• Home care and long-term care environments where simplicity and value both matter
• Patients up to 300 lbs who need alternating pressure and moisture control
• Situations where a powered overlay is the right level of support — not yet a full system

Key Features at a Glance

• Alternating pressure and low air loss therapy in one overlay system
• 17 individual air bladders for consistent pressure redistribution
• 16 laser air holes deliver targeted airflow to reduce heat and moisture
• Quiet pump with adjustable airflow dial for personalised comfort settings
• CPR valve for rapid deflation in emergency situations

• 36" W x 80" L x 5" H — fits standard hospital and home care bed frames

Why Choose the Protekt Aire 2000?

The 2000 occupies a genuinely useful position — it delivers real alternating pressure and low air loss therapy without the cost or setup of a full replacement system. For caregivers managing lower to moderate risk patients on an existing mattress, it is often exactly the right level of intervention.

It is also a sensible starting point for caregivers who are not yet sure how much therapy the patient will need. If the patient's condition progresses and a more advanced system becomes necessary, stepping up to a full replacement like the Protekt Aire 3000 is a straightforward next move.

For patients whose weight exceeds 300 lbs or who have existing Stage 3–4 wounds, a full mattress replacement system is likely the more appropriate choice — and our team can help you identify the right option.
