ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a mattress overlay being an inflatable body support formed from a pair of plastic sheets joined together to form a non-inflatable periphery. The non-inflatable periphery defines an air pressurizable chamber therebetween. The chamber provides an air cushion for supporting a person positioned thereatop that dissipates at least pressure to decrease the onset of pressure sores and ulcers. The periphery has a distal end, a proximal end, a first side and a second side. The improvement of the present invention relates to the corner strap system. There is at least one non-inflatable corner strap system that extends from at least one end of the periphery. A center section, at least two side sections positioned on opposite sides of the center section, and a hold down section having at least two elbow-shaped slits or perforations positioned between the center section and each side section form the first non-inflatable corner strap system. Each perforation and slit defines a hold down. Each hold down on each side of the center section is a distinct distance from the center section. The various combinations of hold downs can be used to secure the mattress overlay onto various sized and styles of mattresses.
