The revolutionary part of the PressureGuard® Custom Care® Convertible surface starts deep within the surface, in the Star Chamber air cylinders. Far more than foam-filled "air" systems, the Star Chamber design creates a true air system that is constantly filled with air - whether or not the surface is powered.
Custom Care Convertible mattresses feature the innovative Star Chamber system engineered with air support cylinders that are constantly filled with air – whether or not the surface is powered. Even in their non-powered state, the air cylinders’ head-to-foot orientation provides greater air displacement and better weight distribution than typical side-to-side cylinder configurations, and the cross-connected elasticized reservoirs absorb peaks to mimic powered flotation.
a Star Chamber™ air cylinder:
-
is 60% air by volume provides 92% support from air
-
derives only 8% support from foam
-
air is a superior pressure redistribution and immersion medium
-
cross-connected elasticized reservoirs absorb peaks to mimic powered flotation
-
four body-length air cylinders provide greater air displacement and better weight distribution than typical side-to-side cylinder configurations
-
the points of the star-shaped core ensure maximum air volume
-
the closed air system requires no refilling or maintenance for 5 years
