This is an EXCELLENT product for anyone who is bed-ridden. My mother cannot STAND to be without this variable-pressure pad. Her pain is tremendous without this pad.
Pros:This pad helps protect against bed sores and keeps my mother's arthritic back from hurting so much that she cannot sleep. This product is a life saver!
Cons:The cats claws CAN puncture this pad -- although the pad comes with a repair kit.
Overall: Yes, I would recommend this product.
I haven't had it long enough to tell if ther is a dfference
Cons:there is a leak, I haven't had time to request a new one
Overall: Yes, I would recommend this product.
