Abstract

A bedsore-preventing air mattress controller provided with an air pump for generating a magnetomotive force in a plurality of stages proportional to the feed air amount of the pump, and with an electric switch for changing over the magnetomotive force of the pump and integrally assembled with an air shut-off valve for discharging and halting air, whereby the controller arrangement is simplified to effectively reduce the required number of parts for lowering manufacturing costs.
