Use ear plugs or some light music to mask the annoyance. The mattress is meant for you to sink into so don't crank it up unless you need to roll or something. When you are not in it, turn it off. Treat it like gold cause it is the only device ever tested that helped skin grow while the patient was entirely immobile. There is no other sleep surface or anti-pressure sore device that has been documented to do this. If it ain't Low Air Loss then it isn't smoke they are blowing in your face. If the one you have is really bugging you, uhm. Ill pay to have it shipped here. Please, never throw one away. If you are healed up then carefully pack it in plastic and hang on to it. In Ohio they refuse to pay for these unless you have 2 stage 4 wounds and they threaten doctors that do write scripts for them.

I use a Masonair low air loss mattress and it is rather loud also. Mine has the ability to adjust the firmness and I have discovered I like to have the mattress set on level 4. Fortunately that level is not nearly as loud as the higher numbers. You might want to look at the pump to see if there is a way to lower the level. Wish I could help more.

Can anyone recommend an alternating pressure or low air loss mattress with a pump that doesn't sound like a loud vacuum cleaner? ____________________________________________________________________________________ Looking for last minute shopping deals?
