Description
The Invacare microAIR MA800 Mattress in the 42 by 84 in size is the mattress-only model of the MA800 true low air loss range. It gives bariatric and taller patients the full-width, full-length surface the MA800 therapy system is built on.
- Oversized 42 x 84 x 10 in bariatric dimensions
- 1000 lb capacity as part of the MA800 system
- Mattress only, pairs with the MA800P power unit
- Alternating pressure, pulsation and true low air loss capable
- Quilted nylon low-shear top cover
Complete systems are not always the right purchase. A facility may hold spare MA800 power units, or a mattress may wear out while its blower still runs strong. This mattress-only model covers that case in the largest stocked size, 42 in wide and 84 in long. With the MA800P unit it delivers the same alternating pressure, pulsation and true low air loss therapy as the complete MA800 system. The 42 and 48 in MA800 sizes carry a 1000 lb system rating, so this surface serves bariatric patients who exceed standard mattress limits.

Why Choose the Invacare microAIR MA800 Mattress?
Bariatric surfaces are often sold only as complete systems. This mattress-only model lets a working MA800P unit serve a wider, longer bed without a second full system purchase.
- Buy only what failed – a mattress-only model avoids paying for a second blower when the existing unit still runs, which is the common sense repair for a working system
- Largest stocked footprint – the 42 x 84 in surface fits bariatric frames and taller patients that a 36 x 80 in mattress leaves crowded, which improves both comfort and skin outcomes
- Full MA800 therapy – paired with the MA800P it runs the complete therapy set, so the wider surface is not a downgrade, which keeps one standard of care across sizes
Frequently Asked Questions
What size is this mattress?
It is 42 in wide, 84 in long and 10 in high, the extended bariatric size in the MA800 mattress range.
Does it include the blower unit?
No. This is the mattress only. It pairs with the Invacare MA800P power unit, which drives the alternating, pulsation and true low air loss therapy.
What weight can it support?
As part of the MA800 system it is rated for patients up to 1000 lb, the rating Invacare assigns to the 42 and 48 in MA800 sizes.
Why choose the 84 in length?
The extra 4 in over the standard 80 in mattress suits taller patients whose feet would otherwise reach the end of the surface.
