MasonAir Alternating Pressure Mattress Systems

For patients confined to bed for long stretches, pressure injuries aren't a possibility to manage — they're a risk to prevent from day one. The MasonAir line of powered mattress systems is built for exactly that: redistributing pressure, protecting fragile skin, and giving caregivers a dependable tool for wound prevention and treatment across home care, long-term care, and acute settings.

What separates these systems is how they match the therapy to the patient's acuity. The MasonAir AS5000 (AS5125) delivers reliable alternating pressure through inflating and deflating air cells, a solid choice for prevention and lower-stage pressure ulcers. Stepping up, the MasonAir LA/AS8800 (AS8825) combines low-air-loss and alternating pressure therapy — the low-air-loss feature moves air across the skin surface to manage moisture and heat, which matters a great deal for patients already dealing with skin breakdown. For the highest-need patients, the MasonAir LS9500 Turn-Style System adds powered lateral rotation, assisting with repositioning to relieve staff of some of the physically demanding turning schedule while improving circulation and comfort.

Buyers often ask which stage of pressure ulcer each system suits. As a general guide: alternating-pressure-only models support prevention through early-stage care, low-air-loss units address moisture-sensitive and existing wounds, and turn-assist systems serve immobile, high-acuity patients. All arrive with a control pump that lets you set pressure to the patient's weight and condition, and the covers are designed to be fluid-resistant and wipeable for infection control.

These mattresses are a core part of a complete skin-integrity plan. Round out your setup with items from our wound care collection, or explore related mattresses and overlays to find the right surface for every level of need.
