What Does a Pressure Relief Cushion Do?
Manufactured from synthetic hollow fibres, this cushion helps to redistribute pressure and alleviate force on your joints and bones when sitting for long periods at a time. For wheelchair users, pressure sores and ulcers can be a common problem, as well as general aches and discomfort. Using a seat cushion works to reduce impact on peak pressure points and provide additional comfort.
What Are Pressure Sores?
Pressure sores are injuries to the tissue underneath the skin. They are primarily caused by prolonged force on the skin and are frequently found in people who are confined to a single position for a long period of time. Consistent downward pressure can cause the tissue under the skin to die due to concentrated force on peak pressure points, causing pressure sores and ulcers to form.
Who Can Benefit From Pressure Relief?
Those who are seated for extended periods of time and experience discomfort or aches in the buttocks and lower back may require a moderate form of pressure relief and cushioning to lessen the force and impact on your body. This is especially relevant for wheelchair users, or frail and elderly individuals who require added cushioning when seated. This cushion provides moderate and soft pressure relief only, if you require more targeted pressure relief, a firmer foam cushion would be more suitable.
Lightweight for Easy Portability
This fluffy and light cushion is extremely easy to carry from A to B, allowing you to use your cushion with any seat you desire. Whether you require a wheelchair for longer walks or prefer an extra layer of padding on your office chair at work, you can easily transport your cushion wherever you wish without a worry.
Cloud-Like Hollow Fibre Inner
Hollow-fibres are synthetic fibres made from fine, hollow strands of polyester that form a bouncy, duvet-style centre that won't flatten or shrink under considerable pressure, holding its form despite extended use. Hollow-fibre is incredibly light and retains heat well, meaning your cushion will stay warm when in contact with your body, keeping you comfortable and cosy with every use.
Deep blue shade to minimise stain visibility
Accidents happen and spillages are inevitable. The wheelchair cushion is designed for daily use, therefore displays a deep blue colouring to ensure that light staining or marks are less visible, keeping your cushion looking spotless for longer. If you opt for the wipe-clean cover, you can also disinfect your cushion with one wipe in seconds, meaning maintenance is easy and hassle free.
