FAQs about Our Pressure Relief Cushions and Support Products

What is the difference between pressure relief cushions and pressure cushions for chairs?

In general, all pressure cushions aim to relieve pressure, but pressure cushions for chairs and pressure cushion for chair models are specifically shaped to fit standard seating, offering better stability and targeted support.

Are pressure relieving cushions suitable for wheelchair users?

Yes. Pressure cushions for wheelchairs are specifically designed to provide continuous support during extended sitting, improving posture and reducing the risk of sores.

What is the best option for someone already experiencing discomfort or redness?

A pressure ulcer cushion or pressure sore cushions for chairs provide enhanced redistribution and are often recommended for early signs of discomfort, especially if the user sits for long hours.

What is the difference between a pressure reducing cushion and a pressure relieving cushion?

A pressure reducing cushion focuses on lowering the overall force on seated areas, while pressure relieving cushions aim to redistribute weight away from high-risk zones. Both are effective, depending on your needs.

Which pressure relief cushion is best for preventing early-stage pressure sores?

For users who already show redness or discomfort, a pressure ulcer cushion or pressure sore cushions for chairs provide targeted off-loading of high-risk areas. These cushions redistribute weight more effectively than standard pressure cushions, reducing friction and shear.
