A water pump recirculates the water, which is drawn out of the mattress through outlets and associated piping and which is then reintroduced through inlets and associated piping as an array of water jets. Air is introduced by a valve in the water piping on the return side of the pump or by a separate air pump connected to air inlets leading into the mattress.
