  • Page 8: Product Description

    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.
