The Protekt® Aire 3500 is a powered alternating pressure mattress system with integrated low air loss therapy, designed to support pressure redistribution and microclimate management for individuals who spend extended time in bed. This system combines a 5" air cell mattress with a 3" densified fiber safety base, delivering both active therapy and passive support in a single surface.
Positioned as a mid-high tier upgrade from entry-level air systems, the Aire 3500 is ideal for users who require more consistent pressure management, added safety during power interruptions, and improved skin environment control. It is commonly selected for homecare and facility settings where reliability, comfort, and caregiver ease are equally important.

The Aire 3500 is designed for standard 36" x 80" hospital and homecare bed frames. The compact pump mounts easily to most bed frames and connects quickly via a simple hose system, allowing for fast setup in both home and clinical environments.
This system uses alternating pressure therapy to cyclically inflate and deflate air cells, helping redistribute pressure across the body and reduce prolonged loading on key contact points. The integrated low air loss function uses laser-drilled air holes to gently circulate air across the surface, supporting a cooler and drier microclimate.
A preset 10-minute cycle provides consistent therapy, while a static mode allows the mattress to remain fully inflated for safer transfers and care procedures. The 3" densified fiber base underneath the air cells ensures continued support in the event of power loss or deflation.
A quilted, fluid-resistant nylon cover enhances comfort while maintaining durability and ease of cleaning. The adjustable airflow dial allows caregivers to fine-tune firmness based on patient weight and preference, while the pillow-top head section helps reduce movement during alternating cycles.
The system is designed for practical, everyday use with a quiet pump, easy-to-read controls, and minimal maintenance requirements. Optional raised side rail versions are available to provide additional edge support and help reduce roll-out risk in certain care environments.

If you are comparing support surfaces, entry-level alternating pressure systems may offer basic pressure redistribution, while higher-tier low air loss or clinical systems provide more advanced airflow and automation. The Aire 3500 sits between these categories, offering a balanced combination of therapy, safety, and usability.
