What Does a Pressure Relief Cushion Do?
Manufactured from combi layered memory foam this cushion moulds to the contours of your body, helping 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 form of pressure relief and cushioning to lessen the impact on your body. This is especially relevant for wheelchair users, or frail and elderly individuals who require added cushioning when seated.
Dual-Layered Foam for Added Comfort
This cushion has been uniquely engineered from viscoelastic foam and high density combustion modified polyurethane. This combination allows for a soft and cushioning top layer to mould around the contours of your body and a firmer supporting foam on the base to prevent movement and provide a secure sitting position.
Shock-Absorbing Foam Inner
For wheelchair users on the move, it can often be tricky to navigate uneven terrains without experiencing uncomfortable impact and agitation that is often concentrated on peak pressure points. With a high-density, combustion modified, polyurethane foam inner, this cushion works to absorb shock and reduce impact, lessening the force placed on your lower body.
Temperature Sensitive Foam for Heat Regulation
When you're sat for extended periods of time, it's easy for heat to get trapped between your body and seat cushion, which raises your body temperature to an uncomfortably warm level. With temperature sensitive foam, this breathable cushion draws heat away from your body and regulates your temperature, keeping you warm in colder environments and cool in hotter settings.
Lightweight for Easy Portability
This versatile and lightweight 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.
Deep-Blue Shade to Minimise Stain Visibility
Accidents happen and spillages are inevitable. This wheelchair cushion is designed for daily use, therefore includes the option of a deep blue cover 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.
