PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Span-America’s patented use of non-collapsible “air diffusion matrix” fabric in both the inner air delivery cover and the outer removable coverlet maintains an air pathway underneath the user, thus transporting moisture vapor away from the user’s skin. Both the inner air-delivery cover and the outer removable coverlet are bacteriostatic, flame resistant and fluid proof.

ILLUSTRATION DESCRIPTIONS 1. Outer Removable The purple-colored coverlet is fluid proof, cleanable and flame resistant. It can Coverlet: be replaced if damaged or worn. The outer coverlet is highly vapor permeable (4500 grams/meter /24 hours) and fluid-proof. Both of its fabrics (smooth top fabric and the crush-proof air diffusion matrix fabric) are bacteriostatic.
THE SCIENCE BEHIND EASY AIR LOW AIR LOSS DESIGN Easy Air’s exclusive “Air Diffusion Matrix” design maximizes removal of excess moisture (i.e., perspiration) from the user’s skin. Moisture passes in vapor form down through the cover, where a continuous air current takes it away before it can re-form as liquid.
