Medical air mattress

A medical air mattress comprising:

• a mattress body comprising multiple body air cells and multiple independent air cells, said multiple body air cells and said multiple independent air cells extend uninterrupted a full width of said mattress body, said multiple body air cells and said multiple independent air cells are positioned and arranged to each other to form air cell rows, said multiple body air cells include a plurality of odd body air cells and a plurality of even body air cells, each odd body air cell is positioned adjacent to an even body air cell, said multiple independent air cells include an odd independent air cell and an even independent air cell, said odd and even independent air cells are positioned adjacent to one another and said independent air cells are positioned between at least two of said body air cells along a longitudinal axis of said mattress body, said multiple body air cells are configured to be inflatable, deflatable, or a combination thereof, said multiple independent air cells are configured to be inflatable, deflatable, or a combination thereof,
• a pumping assembly connected to said mattress body, said pumping assembly comprising a pump, a body air cell pipeline, an independent air cell pipeline, and an independent deflating unit, said body cell pipeline connected between said pump and said multiple body air cells and configured to enable fluid to flow between said pump and said multiple body air cells, said independent air cell pipeline connected between said pump and said multiple independent air cells and configured to enable fluid to flow between said pump and said multiple independent air cells, said independent deflating unit connected between said pump and said independent air cell pipeline, said independent deflating unit configured to independently control inflation, deflation, or combinations thereof of said multiple independent air cells so that 1) said odd independent air cell can be inflated and deflated simultaneously with said plurality of said odd body air cells, 2) said odd independent air cell can be deflated independently from said plurality of said odd and even body air cells, 3) said even independent air cell can be inflated and deflated simultaneously with said plurality of said even body air cells, 4) said even independent air cell can be deflated independently from said plurality of said odd and even body air cells, and 5) said odd and even independent air cells can be deflated independently from said plurality of said odd and even body air cells, and wherein deflation of said odd and even independent air cells within a section of said mattress body creates room to receive a container or bedpan for use by a patient lying on or above said mattress body.
