Great mattress pad for comfort and support!
I couldn't believe how affordable this mattress pad was compared to full mattresses! My dad has been pretty ill and stuck in bed a lot. After a few weeks, he started getting bed sores, so I looked for something to help. This has made a big difference! The sores haven’t gotten worse and are actually healing now. I was worried about the smell since I have chemical sensitivities, but it didn’t have a strong odor at all. I set it up without any issues. The pump is super quiet – even my dad, who has trouble hearing, can’t tell when it’s adjusting, and I have to be in complete silence to catch a small hiss. It took about 10 minutes to inflate, and it feels nice to lay on. I even thought about getting one for myself! My dad says it’s comfortable, and he only noticed it after two weeks. We haven’t had any problems with it slipping or needing adjustments at night, which is great. Overall, this mattress pad is a find, whether for someone bed-bound or just for comfort!

Instant relief, heals wounds
We got this pad for my mom after she spent nearly two weeks in the hospital and couldn’t get up. She had developed some painful skin tears and was really uncomfortable. Before buying this pad, we were trying to help her change positions like they did in the hospital to relieve the pressure, but that just wasn’t cutting it. Once we finally tried this mattress pad, my mom said she didn’t feel pressure in that area anymore and could sit normally. In about 3 to 5 days, we noticed her skin starting to heal. It seemed to work because when she sat in her chair or on the sofa, she would still feel pressure and want to use the pad in bed instead. We also got a wedge pillow so she could sit up while in bed, as we don’t have one of those adjustable beds. The best part? This pad was quiet, which was a nice surprise. It fit our twin bed perfectly and had longer flaps for tucking under the mattress to keep it in place. We added a rug grip pad just in case, so I can't say for sure if it was the flaps or the grip pad that kept it from sliding. The only downside was that my mom asked for it to be a bit softer. There’s a dial to adjust the firmness, and we turned it all the way to soft, but it didn’t feel much different to me. She said it was comfortable enough for sleeping, but I’m giving it 4 stars for comfort because it didn’t seem to soften like she wanted. Overall, this mattress pad was worth it for helping my mom's wounds heal and giving her relief. I’d recommend it.

Effective Relief for Pressure Sores
Pressure sores can be tricky; just when one goes away, another comes up. I got the Vive alternating pressure mattress pad for an elderly patient who’s not a fan of changes. After two days of being open-minded about it, I asked for her thoughts. She really appreciates the soft massage from the alternating cells and the quiet pump. I was happy with how simple it was to set up, and her pain has lessened. The fact that she hasn’t wanted me to return it is a good sign!

Great Value for the Cost
I picked this up for my husband after he came home from the hospital due to a broken pelvis. It was straightforward to put together, though the pipes were a bit tough to get on; however, they fit snugly. It’s a good size for a single bed—long enough and fits well under the end of the mattress. I didn’t want to go for a hospital bed since he’s tall. It’s been in use 24/7 for a few weeks now, and the little motor is really quiet, which is great. The switch has a bright green light, so you can easily tell if it’s on from afar. I highly recommend this—skip the pricier options! While I can't speak for long-term use, it's just for recovery.

Great relief for my relative
I got this for an older family member after they had a broken hip and needed to spend more time in bed. The box had seen better days, but the mattress and pump were in perfect condition. We tested it at home before taking it on our trip. I was surprised by how long the mattress is—it easily fit our 200cm bed. Just a tip: when you use it for the first time, make sure to straighten out any bends or it won't inflate properly. After that, it works great. Just know, it’s tough to get all the air out if you need to pack it up again. The pump isn’t too loud either. My relative found it helped to make them more comfortable and prevented some sore spots they were developing. We also ended up getting a seat cushion from Vive around the same time, and that was just as for them.

Very happy with this purchase!
This has been a great addition for my dad, who struggles with back pain from cancer. It was straightforward to set up and the motor runs quietly, just a little whoosh of air. We placed it on his hospital bed, and it's been working well for about a month now.

Great service with fast shipping.
The mattress got here pretty fast, but I realized I couldn't use it since it was set up for American 120 volts, and I needed 240 volts for Australia—definitely my mistake for not looking closer before buying. The return process was handled well, though.
