Frequently asked questions
Does this cushion help prevent the hammock effect?
Yes, the cushion is built with a high-density beveled polyethylene base. This specialized foundation provides a firm, level surface that effectively prevents the “hammocking” sensation commonly experienced with lower-quality seat cushions.

Absolutely. It features a dual-density foam construction combined with a dual-chamber gel-pod, specifically engineered for patients at risk of pressure injuries by offloading tissue under the coccyx.
How does the pommel feature improve seating stability?
The integrated pommel helps maintain proper knee separation. This design detail is key to preventing unwanted hip rotation, which significantly improves the user’s overall seating stability.
