Pressure Relief Cushion Designed for Reliable Seating Support
The Lowzone Gel Switch Memory Foam Cushion combines pressure-reducing gel with temperature-sensitive viscoelastic memory foam to create a supportive and stable seating surface. The materials work together to spread body weight more evenly and reduce concentrated pressure on sensitive areas such as the hips and tailbone.
For wheelchair users and disabled people who spend extended periods sitting, small changes in seating support can make daily activities far more comfortable.
At the Disability Horizons Shop, products are chosen by disabled people with lived experience of the challenges poorly designed equipment can create. Our founders are award-winning inventors and disability innovation specialists who focus on practical solutions that support independence.
Foam and Gel Working Together to Reduce Pressure
This cushion uses a layered design that combines two proven seating technologies.
Memory Foam Layers
Temperature-sensitive viscoelastic foam forms the top and bottom layers of the cushion. This foam responds to body heat and weight, helping create a supportive seating surface that spreads pressure across the cushion.
Stabilising Gel Core
Inside the cushion sits a slow-moving gel layer. The gel provides stable support and helps prevent pressure from building in one area during prolonged sitting.
Together these materials provide consistent pressure reduction and everyday seating comfort.
“Switch” Design Helps Prevent Misuse
One of the practical design features of the Lowzone cushion is its any-way-up construction.
The cushion can be placed either side up or rotated without affecting its performance. This reduces the risk of incorrect positioning, which can happen when cushions have a fixed orientation.
For carers, wheelchair users, and busy households, this simple design detail makes daily use easier.
Suitable for Wheelchairs and Other Seating
The square cushion design allows it to work with a wide range of chairs, including:
-
Wheelchairs
-
Armchairs
-
Recliner chairs
-
Dining chairs or office chairs
Its shape and size make it a flexible seating option at home, at work, or in care environments.
Easy to Maintain
The cushion includes a protective PU cover that can be wiped clean using warm water and mild detergent. This helps maintain hygiene while protecting the internal foam and gel layers.
