AirGel Pressure Relief Cushions

Dual Chamber AirGel Pressure Relief Cushion

AirGel Pressure Relief Cushions by Gel Ovations are advanced hybrid pressure care cushions that combines the lightweight comfort of air with the proven skin protection of medical-grade gel. Designed to reduce pressure, shear, and heat build-up, AirGel delivers effective support for high-risk areas while maintaining exceptional comfort in everyday seating and mobility applications.

In addition to pressure care, AirGel Pressure Relief Cushions are uniquely suited to postural correction, particularly for individuals with a twisted or asymmetrical pelvis or lower spine. Each side of the cushion can be independently inflated or deflated, allowing clinicians and users to fine-tune support and gently correct seated alignment. This adjustability helps promote improved posture, stability, and long-term comfort.

With a low-profile depth of just 40mm, AirGel provides these benefits without the drawbacks associated with thicker cushions. Its slim design minimises adverse effects on sacral positioning, making it an excellent option where maintaining correct pelvic orientation is critical.

Ideal for wheelchairs and all types of seating, AirGel Pressure Relief Cushions offer a versatile solution where pressure management, posture, and comfort must work together.

AirGel Pressure Relief Cushions – Lightweight, Adaptive & Clinically Protective

The AirGel Pressure Relief Cushions are designed for wheelchair users and individuals who need reliable seating support for long periods. With its dual-chamber air system, medical-grade silicone gel, and contoured design, it offers exceptional pressure relief, stability, and skin protection in both clinical and home environments.


Why Choose AirGel Pressure Relief Cushions?

The AirGel Pressure Relief Cushions combine air, silicone gel, and contoured support to create a responsive and comfortable seating experience. It is ideal for users who need improved pressure distribution, enhanced posture, and all-day comfort without extra bulk.

Key benefits include:

  • Better pressure relief than standard foam cushions

  • Personalised left–right air adjustment

  • Cooler seating surface with gel temperature regulation

  • Rear-contoured design for stable pelvic alignment

  • Lightweight, low-profile design for easy transfers

  • Reduced shear and friction to protect skin integrity


Dual-Chamber Air System for Custom Support

The AirGel Pressure Relief Cushion has two separate air chambers—one on the left and one on the right. Each chamber is individually adjustable, allowing users or caregivers to fine-tune support for balance, posture, and comfort. This design is especially beneficial for users with asymmetry, pelvic tilt, scoliosis, or uneven weight distribution.


Advanced AirGel Hybrid Technology

Each cell contains a combination of air and medical-grade silicone gel. This hybrid system delivers:

  • Softer immersion and improved pressure redistribution

  • Reduced pressure peaks under the sitting bones

  • Cooling benefits to help manage heat build-up

  • More consistent support throughout the day

This technology provides a significant comfort advantage over traditional foam cushions, especially for long-term sitters.


Contoured Rear Cells for Natural Pelvic Positioning

At the rear of the cushion, contoured gel-air cells help maintain a natural pelvic angle, encouraging healthier posture. This added stability reduces sliding, tilting, and fatigue – key factors for wheelchair users or anyone seated for extended periods.


Low-Profile Design for Everyday Use

At just 1.5 inches (40 mm) thick, the low-profile AirGel Pressure Relief Cushions support natural sitting posture without adding excess height. Users benefit from:

  • Easier transfers

  • Better access to armrests and wheels

  • Reduced risk of sacral sitting

  • Full immersion despite the slim profile


Dynamic Airflow for Even Pressure Distribution

As the user shifts, air moves gently between the interconnected cells. This dynamic airflow automatically adjusts to maintain even pressure, reducing the risk of localised pressure points and improving comfort for all-day use.


Skin Protection and Shear Reduction

The AirGel Pressure Relief Cushion helps reduce shear, friction, and heat—three leading contributors to skin breakdown and pressure injuries. Its responsive structure moves with the user and helps protect delicate or compromised skin throughout daily activities.


Easy to Clean and Maintain

The cushion is designed for quick cleaning, simple adjustments, and straightforward daily use. It is well-suited for healthcare professionals, caregivers, and individuals managing their own seating setup.

Every AirGel Pressure Relief Cushion comes with:

  • A protective stretch cover

  • A hand pump for easy inflation

  • Clear setup and adjustment instructions

This ensures users can get the right fit from day one.
