Description
The Span-America EZ-Dish is a memory foam cushion for a wheelchair or a geri-chair seat, built around a dished pocket that keeps the foam away from the two bony points at the base of the pelvis.
Who it suits
- Riders the maker describes as at high risk for pressure ulcers at the ischium or the coccyx, who need an off-the-shelf cushion rather than a custom build.
- People who need the pelvis and the legs held in an upright position: the firmer foundation layer under the memory foam is contoured for that.
- Riders up to 250 lbs (113 kg) whose seat matches one of the four sizes the maker builds.
Will it fit your chair?
- Match the maker's item number to the seat, width first: EZ1816-96-1 is 18 in wide by 16 in deep.
- The maker builds four sizes only, 16 x 16 in, 18 x 16 in, 18 x 18 in and 20 x 18 in. If your seat is another size, ask us about another cushion.
- It stands 3 in (7.6 cm) high, so measure your seat depth before you choose.
Living with it
- The cover zips off and wipes clean. Its top is fluid repellent, its bottom is non-skid, and a visual indicator shows which end goes to the back of the chair.
- The bottom of the cover has a built-in sleeve for the maker's optional moulded Sling-Fill base, which is not included.
- The cushion is all foam: there is no gel and no air to adjust.
Compare
The EZ-Dish is all foam. A gel cushion such as the Geo-Matrix Bronze Gel adds a gel layer, and a deeper contoured foam cushion such as the J2 Deep Contour holds the hips more firmly. Browse all wheelchair cushions.
Frequently asked questions
Is the EZ-Dish a gel cushion?
No. It is a viscoelastic memory foam top moulded over a high-density foam base, with no gel and no air cells.
How do I clean it?
The cover zips off and wipes clean, and its surface is fluid repellent.
Which end goes at the back of the chair?
The cover carries a visual indicator for the bottom rear, so the dished pocket sits under the ischium and the coccyx.
How long is it covered?
Span-America warrants the cushion for 18 months.
