Factors to consider when selecting a cushion are pressure ulcer risk, skin condition, positioning requirements and
weight. Our wide selection of cushions are specifically designed to meet the needs of today's residents. Whether that
need is Comfort, Pelvic Positioning, Forward Sliding, Coccyx Relief or Bariatric support you can find the right cushion to
meet your needs. The cushion materials range from Foam, Gel over Foam, Gel within Foam, All Gel and Air.
Foam cushions provide a comfortable seating surface and basic pressure redistribution.
Gel Cushions provide premium pressure redistribution because the gel cradles to the individual therefore providing
better pressure redistribution. The gel helps cool the seat surface by reducing heat buildup and provides a customized
surface for optimum pressure redistribution. The gel chambers keep the gel in the area of highest pressure and provide
greater support and stability.
Air Cushions provide an advanced level of pressure redistribution properties because the weight is redistributed
evenly throughout the entire cushion
