Why the EquaGel Cushion Is the Best Choice for Pressure Relief and Comfort
Share
If you or a loved one spends extended periods sitting, choosing the right cushion is more than a comfort decision—it’s essential for health and wellbeing. EquaGel cushions are trusted by healthcare professionals, wheelchair users, and those managing pressure care needs across Australia. But what makes EquaGel so different?
Let’s dive into why the EquaGel cushion range—including the EquaGel General Cushion and EquaGel Protector Cushion—are leading the way in gel cushions for pressure sores.
✅ What Is an EquaGel Cushion?
EquaGel is an advanced seating cushion made from a dry polymer gel arranged in a unique grid structure. This design redistributes pressure evenly and helps prevent pressure sores (also known as pressure ulcers), especially in users with limited mobility or circulation issues.
The key to EquaGel’s success lies in a technology called column buckling. When pressure is applied, the gel columns collapse gently, spreading weight across neighbouring areas. The result? You feel like you’re floating—not sitting.
🧠 Who Needs an EquaGel Cushion?
EquaGel cushions are ideal for:
- Wheelchair users
- People recovering from surgery or injury
- Individuals at risk of developing pressure ulcers
- Anyone who sits for long hours at a desk, in a car, or on the couch
🪑 EquaGel Cushion Models: General vs Protector
1. EquaGel General Cushion
This is the most popular model, perfect for everyday use. It provides 50mm of supportive gel for moderate pressure relief. Great for office chairs, car seats, and wheelchairs.
2. EquaGel Protector Cushion
Designed for higher-risk individuals, the EquaGel Protector offers additional support and a sculpted pelvic area for superior positioning. This model is often used in hospitals or by those who already have pressure issues.
🔍 Why Choose Gel Cushions for Pressure Sores?
Many pressure care cushions use air or foam. But gel cushions like EquaGel provide:
- Consistent support that doesn’t deflate or compress over time
- Temperature regulation to prevent skin breakdown
- Low maintenance – no pumps or valves needed
- Better hygiene – with easy-to-clean, fluid-resistant covers
