Includes CPR valve that allows rapid deflation. Alternating pressure mattress is backed by an 18-month limited warranty from Drive Medical, a leading brand of medical beds, bath safety products, and other medical goods for more than 20 years.

6/23/21 My Dear brother past away after 6 weeks in hospice. He finally stopped sufering, but I miss him every day.
The mattress only stopped fluctuating a few Weeks before been put in hospice. I still give this mattress a 5 Star review. We donated bed and mattress to a needy family.
I CALLED MEDLINE AND GOT A RECORDING WHICH EVENTUALLY TOLD ME TO TEXT MY QUESTIONS AND THEN HUNG UP ON ME.
I TEXTED ABOUT MY PROBLEMS AND SAID THAT I WOULD RETURN IT IF I COULDN'T GET CUSTOMER PHONE SUPPORT WITH MY BRAND NEW $900.00 MATTRESS, AND WAS TOLD I WOULD GET A CALL BACK BY THE END OF THE BUSINESS DAY.
SO OF COURSE I GOT NO CALL AND CANNOT OPERATE THIS WITH OUT PROPER USER MANUAL.
IF NO CALL BY TOMMOROW I WILL SEND BACK AS DEFECTIVE SINCE THE USER MANUAL DOESN'T WORK FOR THIS MATTRESS.
Edit to add: My wife was having pretty constant bed sores using another alternating mattress. A few of which were extremely serious. This mattress was mentioned by the director of the Wound Care department at the hospital which was good enough for me. She never had another bed sore and I give full credit to this mattress. She was completely immobile but always said she was comfortable.
To me this is the Mercedes of alternating mattresses. Now, there are Bentley mattresses out there that are completely different (beds of beads and other types) but those are thousands of $$$ and I'm not convinced they're any better. Excellent customer service too.
In case you can't tell, I'm a huge fan of this mattress.
