Who is it for?
- Blake designs the Geo-Matrix Hybrid for wheelchair users who need gentle positioning and contouring with moderate postural support, and who want a cushion that needs no air checks.
- Choose the right cushion in a seating assessment with an occupational therapist or physiotherapist.
Will it fit?
- Order the Geo-Matrix Hybrid to the wheelchair's seat: Blake's manual says the cushion width should match the seat width, or be up to 1" (25 mm) wider where it rests against armrests or side guards, and the depth can run about 1" past the seat.
How does it work?
- The Hybrid has three layers inside two covers: a closed-cell foam base, a dual high-density foam core with a firm sacral shelf at the back, and a Pillow Top gel topper that wraps over the front edge.
- The gel is a grid of columns; when the load on a column passes its limit it gives way and the columns around it share the weight.
What are the care limits?
- Every Hybrid comes in two covers: a soft-touch outer cover with incontinence protection, a lip over the zipper and a non-slip base, and an inner cover that is fluid-proof and wipes clean.
- Keep water off the foam and never use bleach on any part.
What else compares?
- Geo-Matrix Bronze gel cushion: a lower gel cushion without a contoured foam base.
- ROHO High Profile cushion: adjustable interconnected air cells.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the Hybrid and the Hybrid Deep?
The Hybrid Deep has a deeper contour in its foam core, which Blake describes as robust postural support, while the standard Hybrid gives moderate postural support with gentler contouring.
How thick is the Geo-Matrix Hybrid cushion?
The Geo-Matrix Hybrid is 3.5" (89 mm) high, as Blake's product page and 2024 catalogue state.
Will it work on a tilt or power wheelchair?
Yes, Blake's 2024 comparison chart marks the Hybrid as suited to tilt wheelchairs, and it fits any wheelchair whose seat matches one of its sizes.
