Quick Summary

• 4 independent gel pods for targeted positioning
• Controls forward sliding and lateral leaning
• Reduces coccyx pressure and improves comfort
• High-density foam base prevents bottoming out
• Fluid-resistant, low-shear cover options available
• Designed for moderate to high risk users

Why Choose the Position Plus Cushion?

The Position Plus cushion is engineered to solve multiple seating problems at once. Each gel pod works independently to stabilize the user and keep them centered in the chair. This design helps control forward sliding, lateral leaning, and improper pelvic positioning.

Side gel pods support the legs and prevent leaning, while the front gel reduces forward movement. The rear gel relieves pressure on the coccyx, making it a strong choice for users needing both positioning and pressure relief. 

This makes it ideal for moderate to high risk users, especially in rehab or long-term care settings.

Key Features

• Four gel chambers provide targeted pressure redistribution
• Side pods improve lateral stability and leg alignment
• Front pod reduces forward sliding (posterior pelvic tilt)
• Rear pod relieves pressure on tailbone area
• Foam base adds structure and prevents bottoming out
• Low-shear cover reduces friction and skin breakdown risk

How the 4-Pod System Works

The cushion uses four strategically placed gel pods that function independently. This allows the cushion to respond to body movement and maintain positioning throughout the day, rather than shifting like traditional gel cushions.

• Front Pod: Prevents sliding forward
• Rear Pod: Reduces coccyx pressure
