Who is it for?
- It is a gently contoured cushion for people with existing skin concerns or at higher risk of developing skin breakdown, with moderate postural support and vibration dampening.
- Choose the right cushion in a seating assessment with an occupational therapist or physiotherapist.
Will it fit?
- Sizes: 13 standard sizes, 16 x 16 to 22 x 22 in; a 22 in depth is made only at 22 in wide, so 16 x 22, 18 x 22 and 20 x 22 are not standard.
- Part numbers: GP plus width and depth, so GP1818 is 18 by 18 in. Custom sizes are made in any width and depth.
- The cushion is sized to the person, not to the wheelchair.
- Not every combination is a standard size: a 22 in depth is made only at 22 in wide, so 16 x 22, 18 x 22 and 20 x 22 are not standard cushions.
How does it work?
- The construction is a 1 in (25 mm) blue gel base, a dual density contoured foam core, and a 0.75 in (19 mm) pillow top gel layer that cascades over the front of the cushion.
- The gel is a dry polymer: there is no calibration, no risk of punctures or leaks, and nothing to inflate or set each day.
What are the care limits?
- The Platinum arrives with the soft touch outer cover and the wipeable inner cover fitted.
- Both covers are machine washable up to 60°C (140°F); do not wring them, and lay them flat to dry. Wipe the gel clean without bleach, and never wet the foam.
- The Geo-Matrix line carries a two-year warranty.
How does it compare?
- The Geo-Matrix Gold cushion is an all-gel cushion with three gel layers.
- The Geo-Matrix Silver cushion is a lower all-gel cushion.
- The Geo-Matrix Bronze cushion is a two-layer gel cushion.
