Ultra High-Density Polyurethane Foam Support

The cushion is made with ultra high-density polyurethane foam, designed to provide stable bariatric seating support while improving comfort over a hard wheelchair seat surface.

The foam helps:

• ✔️ Support larger seated users
• ✔️ Improve wheelchair sitting comfort
• ✔️ Reduce harsh seat pressure
• ✔️ Provide positioning support
• ✔️ Maintain a more stable seating surface
• ✔️ Improve daily wheelchair sitting tolerance

This makes it a strong choice for users who need a dependable, easy-to-use foam cushion without moving into more advanced gel, air, or alternating pressure systems.

Helps Support Pressure Sore Prevention

The Protekt® Foam Bariatric Cushion is designed to help reduce pressure concentration during sitting. By adding a supportive foam layer between the user and the wheelchair seat, it can help improve comfort and reduce localized pressure that may contribute to skin irritation or pressure sore risk over time.

This cushion may be beneficial for users who experience:

• ✔️ Hard wheelchair seat discomfort
• ✔️ Pressure buildup during sitting
• ✔️ Prolonged wheelchair use
• ✔️ General sitting fatigue
• ✔️ Need for basic skin protection support
• ✔️ Need for stable bariatric foam seating

For users with a high risk of pressure injuries or existing pressure sores, a more advanced gel, air, or alternating pressure cushion may be more appropriate. This foam cushion is best for general comfort, positioning, and basic pressure relief support.

Proper Positioning & Patient Comfort

The cushion provides a stable seating surface designed to support proper positioning and patient comfort. A well-sized wheelchair cushion can help improve seated posture, reduce uncomfortable shifting, and create a more supportive wheelchair experience during daily use.

Proper sizing is especially important for bariatric users because a cushion that is too narrow, too thin, or not supportive enough may reduce comfort and positioning stability.

Breathable, Fluid-Resistant Stretch Nylon Cover

The included stretch nylon cover is comfortable, breathable, and fluid resistant. This helps improve comfort during longer sitting sessions while making the cushion more practical for homecare and facility environments.

The cover helps provide:

• ✔️ Breathable sitting comfort
• ✔️ Fluid-resistant protection
• ✔️ Easier cleaning support
• ✔️ Reduced heat discomfort
• ✔️ Practical daily use

Replaceable Cover for Easier Cleaning

The Protekt® Foam Bariatric Cushion includes a replaceable cover, making it easier to maintain the cushion over time. This is especially helpful for caregivers, homecare users, rehab facilities, and long-term care environments where hygiene and routine cleaning matter.

Safety Buckles Help Keep Cushion in Place

The integrated safety buckles help secure the cushion to the wheelchair seating surface. This helps reduce unwanted cushion shifting during transfers, repositioning, and everyday wheelchair movement.
