Span America Custom Care Convertible Mattress PressureGuard Custom Care

The PressureGuard® Custom Care® Convertible LAL mattress system offers a wide range of benefits designed to improve patient outcomes and comfort. This advanced system effectively manages microclimates and redistributes pressure through its Geo-Matt® surface geometry and dual Heel Slope® protection, reducing the risk of pressure injuries. Its Air Diffusion Matrix™ layer provides continuous airflow, which removes excess heat and moisture, minimizing maceration and maintaining skin integrity. With its powered control unit, the system delivers low air loss, alternating pressure, lateral rotation, and powered pressure redistribution, making it versatile for various patient needs.

The SPAN Custom Care mattress supports up to 500 lbs. in non-powered, and 350 lbs. in lateral rotation. It comes in multiple sizes, ranging from 75"-84" in length and 36"- 42"in width including 7" height/depth on the mattress, ensuring comfort and versatility for different needs.

Custom Care Convertible Mattress LAL Patented Microclimate Management

The Custom Care Convertible LAL features patented microclimate management technology to keep you comfortable. Span-America’s exclusive non-collapsible “Air Diffusion Matrix” air delivery system works to remove excess moisture from your skin more effectively than typical low air loss surfaces. Moisture vapor passes through the coverlet, where a continuous flow of air within the “Air Diffusion Matrix” quickly carries it away, preventing it from re-forming as liquid and keeping you dry.

Custom Care Convertible Mattress LAL Recessed Deck Model

The PressureGuard Custom Care Convertible LAL is now available for recessed deck beds. This version is designed with V-shaped edges to fit securely in the bedframe, and a compressible section to adapt to different lengths and foot positions.

The patented design also features an inner bolster "cradle" effect, providing added safety by guiding you back to the center of the bed when you move toward the edge. Two fabric handles make it easy to reposition the mattress. Visit our recessed deck surfaces page to learn more.

Custom Care Convertible Mattress LAL Proven PressureGuard Design

The PressureGuard design uses a combination of air and foam to provide excellent pressure redistribution, promoting better comfort and recovery. The head-to-foot air cylinder orientation evenly distributes weight, offering extra support in the seat area when the head of the bed is raised. The Geo-Matt segmented top surface helps protect skin and tissue, reducing the risk of pressure ulcers. This design ensures effective pressure management and comfort for patients in various care settings.

Custom Care Convertible Mattress LAL – Enhanced Safety & Stability

Custom Care Convertible Mattress LAL Features and Benefits

Two-Piece Bolster Construction

• Enhanced Safety: Gently encourages you toward the center of the bed, helping to minimize the risk of falls and bed entrapment.
• Stable Support: Provides a firm, supportive edge, making it safer and easier for you to sit up.

Geo-Matt  Style Foam Topper

• Custom Comfort: Individual foam cells adjust to your body’s contours, providing targeted support for bony prominences.
• Superior Pressure Relief: Head-to-foot cylinders ensure better pressure reduction, distributing your weight evenly to reduce discomfort.
• Heel Slope Design: Shifts some of the pressure from your heels to your calves, which are more tolerant to shear, enhancing comfort and protection.

PressureGuard Custom Care Convertible LAL – Mode Option

The PressureGuard Custom Care Convertible LAL mattress can be used with or without the powered control unit (pump). This versatility allows facilities and caregivers to adapt therapy to the patient’s needs.

Without the Pump (Non-Powered Mode)

• Reactive Pressure Redistribution – Built-in air cylinders and foam automatically adjust to the user’s weight and position.

• No Electricity Needed – Safe to use during power outages; maintains inflation for days or even weeks.

• High Weight Capacity – Supports patients up to 500 lbs in non-powered mode.

• Silent Operation – No blower or compressor running in the background.

• Low Maintenance – No cords, filters, or pump components required.

• Cost-Effective Solution – Functions as a standalone therapy surface for lower-risk patients or when alternating/rotation therapy isn’t needed.

With the Pump (Powered Mode)

When the control unit is attached, advanced therapies are added on top of the mattress’s core benefits:

• Microclimate Management (Low Air Loss)

  • Continuous airflow through the cover to wick away heat and moisture.

  • Helps reduce maceration and skin breakdown from sweating or incontinence.

• Alternating Pressure Therapy

  • Cylinders inflate and deflate in a 15-minute cycle to relieve pressure points.

  • Reduces the risk of pressure ulcers for immobile patients.

• Lateral Rotation Therapy

  • Gently turns the patient about 20° side to side every 15 minutes.

  • Promotes pulmonary function (lung drainage, secretion clearance) and prevents complications from immobility.

• Powered Float Mode

  • Provides uniform, stable support when minimal movement is required (ideal for wound care and transfers).

• Comfort Adjustments

  • Customizable firmness and immersion levels to match patient comfort needs.

• Built-in Safety Features

  • Auto-Firm Mode for quick inflation during transfers or CPR.
