ABSTRACT:
An inflatable, therapeutic air mattress for use by healthcare facilities has a permanently attached shipping container with a pocket for receiving a shipping label or card. In order to ship the same to a healthcare facility, the inflatable, therapeutic air mattress is rolled up and put in the permanently attached shipping container and sent to the healthcare facility, where the permanently attached shipping container is opened, and the inflatable, therapeutic air mattress is unrolled and inflated with a pump provided with the mattress. The permanently attached shipping container fits directly underneath the inflatable, therapeutic air mattress and does not inhibit set-up or patient use. When no longer needed, the inflatable, therapeutic air mattress can be easily deflated, rolled up and placed in the permanently attached shipping container and shipped back to the provider by any means of commercial air or ground shipment.
