About This Product

The Active Air 8 is a dynamic mattress replacement from Aspire, Aidacare's equipment range, rated for people at high risk of pressure injury. It replaces the existing mattress entirely rather than sitting on top, so the full 200 mm depth of the surface works to protect skin. You will find it in acute wards and long term care, and it fits a home care bed just as well. Cell-in-Cell technology sits at the heart of it. Internal safety cells stay fully inflated at all times, so even at the low point of the alternating cycle the user is protected from bottoming out. Twenty air cells make up the surface: 17 alternate in a 1 in 2 cycle with selectable times of 10 to 30 minutes, while 3 static cells keep the head area steady. The digital pump takes care of the decisions. AutoDetect sets the right pressure automatically from the user's weight and size. AutoProtect goes a step further: raise the head of the bed past 45 degrees and the mattress increases its pressure on its own to stop the user bottoming out. Continuous Low Pressure (CLP) mode is there when deeper immersion and envelopment matter most, the LCD screen shows cycle time, mode and fault codes at a glance, and AutoLock secures the panel 30 seconds after the last touch. It all runs quietly, with little vibration to disturb sleep. If the power fails, 24 hour Transport Mode holds air in the mattress so the user stays on an inflated surface until it returns. Welded seams and zip protection keep fluids and bacteria out, and the multi-stretch cover reduces shear, breathes with a high moisture vapour transfer rate and machine washes at 95 degrees. The power cord is retained within the mattress rather than trailing as a trip hazard. Safe working load is 30 to 200 kg, with a 2 year warranty on pump and mattress, and an optional Rapid Inflation Turbo Pump and carry bag make moving the system between beds faster. Key features: • Alternating air mattress replacement rated for high risk pressure injury care • Cell-in-Cell design keeps internal safety cells inflated to guard against bottoming out • 20 air cells (17 alternating, 3 static head cells) with a 1 in 2 alternating cycle • Selectable cycle times of 10, 15, 20, 25 or 30 minutes • AutoDetect sets pressure automatically from the user's weight and size • AutoProtect increases pressure when the head of the bed rises past 45 degrees • Continuous Low Pressure (CLP) mode for deeper immersion and envelopment • Digital pump with easy-to-read LCD showing cycle time, mode and fault codes • AutoLock control panel locks itself 30 seconds after the last press • 24 hour Transport Mode keeps the mattress inflated through a power failure • Low noise, low vibration pump for a quieter sleep environment • Welded seams, zip protection and a multi-stretch cover machine washable at 95 degrees • Safe working load 30 to 200 kg, 2 year warranty on pump and mattress • Optional Rapid Inflation Turbo Pump (PTM639000) and carry bag (PTM639020)

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this be funded through NDIS or Aged Care?
Yes, in most cases. Non-powered pressure relieving mattresses and overlays are commonly funded under NDIS Assistive Technology or Aged Care Home Care Packages when recommended by a clinician — typically an occupational therapist or wound care nurse. We are a registered NDIS provider and can supply quotes addressed to your plan manager or support coordinator.
What is the difference between an overlay, a mattress replacement, and an underlay?
An overlay sits on top of your existing mattress to add pressure relief — ideal for lower-risk users or as a first step. A mattress replacement removes your existing mattress entirely and provides a full clinical pressure care surface. An underlay sits beneath an alternating air overlay or mattress replacement to prevent 'bottoming out' and protect against pressure spikes. Our team can help you choose the right product for your clinical risk level.
How long does delivery take?
In-stock orders are dispatched the next business day. Standard delivery is 2–5 business days to most metro areas. Express options are available at checkout. Rural and remote deliveries may take slightly longer — contact us for an estimate.
Can I return it if it's not suitable?
Returns are accepted within 30 days for products in original, unused condition and packaging. Due to hygiene requirements, mattresses and overlays cannot be returned once used unless the product is faulty. If you are unsure which product is right for your clinical situation, we strongly recommend contacting our team before purchasing — we are happy to assist.
Can I trial the product before buying?
Yes — we offer in-person demonstrations at our Picton showroom. Can't make it to Picton? Contact our team and we'll do our best to help, including referrals to local allied health professionals in your area who can assist with product selection and trial.
