Why LiquiCell Cushion is Better than Gel, Foam and Air Cushion

by ERGO21 Cushion Business Developer

LiquiCell cushions offer several advantages over traditional gel, foam, and air cushions. LiquiCell technology was developed to address the issue of pressure sores and discomfort associated with prolonged sitting. LiquiCell cushions use a unique fluid-filled chamber design that is intended to provide superior pressure relief and reduce friction.

One of the primary advantages of LiquiCell cushions is their ability to distribute pressure more evenly than traditional cushion materials. The fluid-filled chambers in the LiquiCell cushion conform to the shape of the user's body, which helps to distribute pressure more evenly and reduce the risk of pressure sores. Traditional cushion materials like foam, gel, and air can compress over time and may not provide adequate pressure relief.

Another advantage of LiquiCell cushions is their ability to reduce friction between the user's skin and the cushion. Friction can cause discomfort and contribute to the development of pressure sores. LiquiCell cushions are designed to reduce friction and provide a smoother surface for the user to sit on.

LiquiCell cushions are also lightweight and easy to transport, making them a convenient option for users who are frequently on the go. They are also durable and long-lasting, and require little maintenance or upkeep.

While LiquiCell cushions may be more expensive than traditional cushion materials, many users find that the superior pressure relief and comfort they provide are worth the investment. Ultimately, the best cushion option will depend on the individual's specific needs and preferences. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional or specialist when selecting a wheelchair cushion to ensure that it meets the user's needs and provides optimal comfort and support.
