Yes, I am using an air pressure mattress overlay. It is an alternating pressure type. Very inexpensive. I started using it about three months ago, because my brother was having difficulties with my low air loss system. It's been working well and I have a backup just in case it gets a leak. You can contact me for more info if necessary. Quadius
