Hi Dave & Dan , I remember some time ago, somebody posted something that you could use with your Roho decade tell you when you were in your chair if your Roho was going to low. I have gotten several sores from that very same cause. I probably saved it on a computer that I don't have any more. Does anybody remember that post? What kind of generator are you using Dan and the price? How do you make it automatically begin when there is power outage. What kind of backup do you use if the mattress loses current or just fails to work? We would not know if it lost air just like the Roho. I still will use water bed, because I don't need turned that often and in my air bet I was told I would need to be turned every few hours. I don't know the name of it either. It was the only thing my insurance with cover, I will have to have someone look on the mattress, it is on the hospital bed I'm not using. Dana Hi Dan, This is exactly the kind of info I need. Thanks for the help. With Love,

It is made by Sunrise Medical or a company affiliated with sunrise medical. It has worked wonderfully. It has started making a whistling sound every so often and someone suggested putting lambs will over it. The only maintenance that it required is to clean the air filter once in awhile. It's a simple process. Also, if your area has a history of power outages you might want to get some type of backup for power because the mattress will deflate in the matter of seconds without electricity. I recently purchased a Generac generator for backup that automatically starts when a power outage occurs. I am also 30 years Post C 4-5 as a result of waterskiing accident. This past six months I have been trying to heal pressure sores on my behind and it has been a challenge. I think I am near the latter stages of healing as I have been spending a great deal of time in bed. I was sitting on an Quattro from Roho and I didn't realize that it had an extremely small leak that was unnoticeable when sunk in water. At one point it just more or less burst open. The cushion was five years old and that is their expected life. If anyone is using a Roho and you are approaching five years or later with the cushion please take notice that there could be problems.

It will be my first air mattress so I'm taking the time to buy the right one for me.

I used to own an alternating mattress, but I find the mattresses which diffuse here to be more effective in maintaining my skin integrity. Quadius Dana
