A low air loss mattress or support 10 is disclosed for continuously supporting a person lying thereon, comprising an upper layer 12 of inflatable cells, and a separate lower layer of inflatable cells 13. The lower layer of inflatable cells 13 is always maintained at a constant higher pressure than the upper layer of cells 12 to prevent a person lying on the mattress 10 from contacting the underlying support surface, in particular, when sitting or during transport. Cells 11 forming the upper layer 12 may be inflated at different pressures to provide optimum support to different parts of the body. |
