EqualizeAire Plus 12000 Pressure Relief Mattress Features
12 air cells
Twelve 5-inch air cells dynamically adjust to the resident’s profile to provide individualized support.Six pressure-relief zones
Anatomically designed zones target different areas of the body for pressure redistribution.Gel-infused memory foam
The entire top layer incorporates gel-infused viscoelastic memory foam designed to conform to the body while providing cushioning and pressure redistribution.
High-resiliency foam layer
A secondary foam layer incorporates air channels to help reduce heat and moisture buildup while relieving pressure around bony prominences.Specialized heel section
Gently sloping air tubes in the heel area are designed to reduce interface pressures in this sensitive region.ARMORGUARD cover
The chemical-resistant cover is designed for durability and is reported by Medline to withstand cleaning chemicals up to seven times longer than traditional covers.Pump is optional and is not included with the mattress. The pump is sold separately.

Medline EqualizeAire Plus 12000 Mattress Buyer’s Guide
The Medline EqualizeAire Plus 12000 Mattress is a hybrid therapeutic support surface designed for high-risk pressure injury prevention and treatment through Stage 4. Functioning seamlessly as a non-powered self-adjusting mattress or converting into a powered alternating-pressure system with an optional pump, this surface delivers clinical pressure redistribution, shear reduction, and overall patient comfort.
Twelve 5-Inch Dynamic Air Cells
At the core of the mattress are twelve 5-inch air cells that dynamically auto-adjust to the patient’s body profile, weight distribution, and posture changes. This self-adjusting air technology continuously redistributes interface pressure to prevent skin tissue breakdown.
Dual-Layer Foam Topper with Gel-Infused Memory Foam
The mattress core is capped with a dual-layer foam topper. The top layer features gel-infused viscoelastic memory foam that conforms to body contours while managing surface temperature, and the secondary high-resiliency foam layer features air channels that facilitate ventilation and moisture reduction.
Six Anatomical Pressure Relief Zones & Sloped Heel Section
Designed with six distinct anatomical support zones, the surface targets high-risk pressure areas across the head, torso, and lower extremities. A dedicated, sloped heel zone with specialized air tubes minimizes pressure on delicate heels and ankles.
Chemical-Resistant ArmorGuard Protective Cover
Encased in Medline’s proprietary ArmorGuard cover, the surface withstands aggressive healthcare cleaning chemicals up to 7 times longer than standard polyurethane covers. The fluid-proof, 4-way stretch cover reduces friction and shear forces while maintaining an effective liquid and microbial barrier.
Firm Edge Perimeter for Safe Transfers
Built-in high-density foam side perimeters help keep patients centered on the mattress while preventing accidental roll-offs. The firm edges also provide structural stability during ingress, egress, and safe patient transfers.
Dual-Mode Conversion (Non-Powered to Powered)
The system operates independently without electricity for non-powered self-adjusting therapy (up to Stage 2 pressure injuries). Adding the optional external digital pump instantly converts the system into a powered alternating pressure unit for advanced treatment up to Stage 4.
Heavy-Duty 500 lb Weight Capacity
Engineered to support patient weights up to 500 lbs, the high-resiliency foam and air cell core maintain long-term structural integrity without bottoming out under constant use.
Medline EqualizeAire Plus 12000 Mattress Review
The Medline EqualizeAire Plus 12000 Mattress delivers flexibility by bridging non-powered self-adjusting surface technology with optional powered alternating pressure therapy. Its combination of 5-inch air cells, gel memory foam, and chemical-resistant ArmorGuard protection makes it an ideal long-term investment for acute care, long-term care, and home health settings
