Using a low-air loss mattress while on a vent

I'm going to be trialing a low air loss mattress and started to worry about the complications from also having to be on a vent overnight. From what I understand, the mattresses rock back and forth - does that present a problem with condensation from the humidifier getting aspirated? Or trach irritation from the pulling and movement?
