Clinical-grade bariatric therapy for patients up to 1,000 lbs — low air loss and pulsation therapy combine in an expandable system built specifically for higher-weight patients who need consistent pressure relief, moisture management, and long-term comfort.

The Arise 1000 EX by Joerns is a premium bariatric mattress system designed to address the unique clinical challenges that come with caring for higher-weight patients during extended bed rest. Standard mattress systems are simply not engineered for this patient population — the Arise 1000 EX is.

Low air loss therapy delivers continuous airflow to manage the heat and moisture accumulation that puts bariatric patients at elevated risk of skin breakdown, while pulsation therapy supports circulation and adds a meaningful comfort dimension that matters for patients spending extended time in bed. The expandable width and length design means the system adapts to the patient's bed setup rather than requiring the patient to fit a standard mattress configuration.

Who Is This Mattress Best For?

• Bariatric patients up to 1,000 lbs requiring clinical-grade pressure relief
• Patients at moderate to high risk for pressure injuries where standard systems are undersized or under-specified
• Patients with significant moisture management needs due to higher body surface area and perspiration
• Facilities requiring expandable mattress systems that adapt across different bariatric bed configurations
• Hospitals, long-term care, and advanced home care environments where both therapy and patient stability are priorities

Key Features at a Glance

• Low air loss therapy for continuous heat and moisture management at the skin surface
• Pulsation therapy supports circulation and long-term patient comfort
• Supports patients up to 1,000 lbs — significantly exceeding standard system capacity
• Expandable width (36", 42", 48") and length (80" or 88") for flexibility across bariatric bed systems
• Built for hospital, long-term care, and advanced home care environments
• Designed specifically for bariatric patient care — not a standard system with increased weight ratings

Why Choose the Arise 1000 EX?

Bariatric patients face compounded pressure injury risk — higher body weight increases interface pressure, greater body surface area increases perspiration and moisture exposure, and limited mobility reduces the natural repositioning that helps protect skin. The Arise 1000 EX is built to address all three of these factors simultaneously rather than treating them as separate problems.

The pulsation therapy component sets the 1000 EX apart from standard low air loss bariatric systems. Where low air loss alone manages the skin environment, pulsation actively supports circulation — a particularly important consideration for bariatric patients where compromised circulation is a known contributing factor to wound development and healing delays.

The expandable design is also worth highlighting. Many bariatric patients require wider or longer sleep surfaces, and a system that can accommodate different configurations without requiring a custom or single-purpose mattress gives facilities genuine flexibility in how they deploy and manage their mattress inventory.
