Question
I have a full care 40 year old son that has recently had a pressure sore on his heel, and his other heel/outside edge from heel to toe also is very red all the time. I want to prevent this from happening again and have been recommended to obtain an alternating air mattress. Prevention is better than cure. Can you help, urgently, as the heel pressure sore is not healing very well. Many thanks.

Answer

We do have some options available ranging from approximately $150 to over $2,000.  There are overlays which will be placed atop an existing mattress and entire mattress systems that replace the existing mattress:
