Description
The Span-America Geo-Matt Cushion is built from a 4 in medium density foam block whose top surface is cut into individual cells, for riders who want a simple cushion rather than a shaped or gel one.
Who it suits
- Riders who want basic protection and comfort, at a lower cost than a contoured or gel cushion.
- People who sit for long stretches: the cut cells are the maker's answer to shearing, and the Ring-of-Air channels help move heat and moisture away.
- Riders up to 200 lbs (91 kg) on an 18 x 16 in seat.
Will it fit your chair?
- There is one size: 18 in wide by 16 in deep. Measure the seat before you order, because the maker builds no other size of this cushion.
- It stands 4 in (10 cm) high, which is a tall cushion. Check the seat height and the footrests before you fit it.
Living with it
- This version comes with the maker's Soft Skin sleeve over the foam.
- The cut top surface is the foam itself, so keep the sleeve on and wipe it clean.
- The maker also sells the same cushion bare (50746-040), with a fire retardant sleeve (50746-051) and with an anti-slip cover (50746-084). Those three are not on this page.

A J2 Deep Contour shapes the foam to hold the pelvis, which this cushion does not. For a plain foam cushion at a lower height, see our foam cushions. Browse all wheelchair cushions.
Frequently asked questions
Is this the same as the Geo-Matt overlay?
No. The overlay is a mattress pad. This is the seat cushion, 4 in thick, in one 18 x 16 in size.
Do the cut cells wear out?
The maker warrants the cushion for 18 months. Keep the sleeve on, because the cut foam surface is exposed without it.
Can I buy it without a cover?
The maker sells that as 50746-040. This page is the version with the Soft Skin sleeve, 50746-050.
Will it raise me too high in the chair?
At 4 in (10 cm) it is a tall cushion, so compare it with the cushion you use now and check the footrests afterwards.
