When someone spends long periods in bed, constant pressure, heat, and moisture can make vulnerable skin harder to protect. The Drive Medical 14026 Med-Aire Melody addresses all three concerns in one complete mattress replacement system. Its 20 air cells gently change pressure so the same areas of the body are not carrying the full load all the time. Low air loss also moves air through the mattress to help keep the sleep surface cooler and drier while reducing rubbing and sliding against the skin.
Made for home care, long-term care, hospitals, and other care settings, this Drive Medical mattress system helps prevent, treat, and heal pressure ulcers when used as part of a complete pressure-care plan. Its clear controls let caregivers match the support level to the user's weight and quickly check whether the mattress has reached the correct pressure.
Confirm before ordering: This mattress measures 35" W × 80" L × 8" H, supports up to 350 lb, and requires a 120V/60Hz outlet. Model 14026 uses a visual low-pressure indicator, not an audible alarm. Use the included control unit only with the included mattress.
Choose the Med-Aire Melody when you need both alternating pressure and low air loss in a full mattress replacement, with controls that can be set to your weight and a static mode for times when the surface needs to remain still.

It is a complete mattress replacement, not a pad that sits on top of another mattress. Place it directly on the bed frame with the air tubes at the foot end.
No. Model 14026 uses an orange visual indicator to show low pressure. The light must be checked because this model does not produce an audible low-pressure alert.
Allow up to 40 minutes for full inflation. Static mode can speed up the initial fill. Keep the air hoses straight and make sure the CPR valves are securely connected.
Yes. A thin cotton sheet can be placed over the mattress. Tuck it loosely so it does not interfere with the movement of the air cells.
Use a mild detergent or suitable disinfectant and follow the cleaner's label. Do not use phenolic cleaners, soak the control unit, or clean the system with steam. Let the mattress and cover air-dry completely before use.
No. Use the Med-Aire Melody as one part of a complete pressure-care plan. Follow your healthcare professional's instructions for skin checks, repositioning, moisture management, nutrition, and other care needs.
Before ordering, confirm the 35" × 80" bed deck size, 350 lb capacity, visual-only low-pressure indicator, and 120V/60Hz power connection. When these match your setup, select the Med-Aire Melody 14026 as your alternating pressure and low-air-loss mattress replacement system.
