Who Can Benefit from the Equazone Premium Pressure Relief Cushion?
The Equazone Premium Pressure Relief Cushion is a fantastic aid for anyone who suffers from pressure sores, or other pressure related conditions. With a non-slip base, compact shape and thermoregulating design, it is especially well-suited to wheelchair users, those who are prone to overheating and anyone who is at a high risk of pressure sores.
What Makes This Pressure Relieving Cushion Ideal For Wheelchairs?
As wheelchair users must sit for extended periods of the day, they can be at greater risk of pressure sores. Unfortunately, many cushions don't provide quite the right level of support, nor do they sit properly on the wheelchair, and may slide or bunch uncomfortably. Designed to remedy such issues, the Equazone Premium Cushion has four quadrants that evenly redistribute pressure across the cushion and a non-slip base that ensures it remains in place, even if you adjust your seating position during the day.
How Does the Equazone Cushion Relieve Pressure?
The Equazone Premium Cushion is split into four quadrants which help balance a user's weight, eliminating any focused points of pressure. Bolstered by air and ischial cut outs (ripple shaped bumps), bony areas are fully supported, helping to further alleviate pain and discomfort.
How Do I Inflate the Equazone Cushion?
Your cushion has four valves that must be opened to inflate your cushion. After 30 seconds, push the valves back in and your cushion should be fully inflated and ready for immediate use. For more information, have a look at the quick set up video below:

Does This Cushion Come With a Cover?
