Frequently Asked Questions

Yes like all gels. That's why we recommend not to leave a gel cushion in a car in a very cold weather. If you forget it, then leave it at room temperature so the gel regains its fluidity.

Occupational therapists will be able to assist you and advise in regards to good positioning - and what would be the correct equipment to use.

There are numerous advantages, including the greater postural support and a good alignment of the back structure. Pressure distribution is also improved, and also stability, comfort and functionality.

Since 1983, JAY has engineered wheelchair cushions that provide the optimal combination of support, comfort and skin protection through innovative design and advanced  science and technology. As industry pioneers, we’ve worked with top researchers and continue to seek clinical opinion and test our products to exceed industry standards. The result is the trusted and much loved JAY family of seating products.
 
JAY has been combining science, technology and design innovation for over 30 years to provide superior clinical seating. Our portfolio offers solutions that span the continuum of clinical needs from relatively “simple” comfort cushions like the JAY Ion or JAY Soft Combi P through to wheelchair pressure cushions that offer the highest level of postural support while protecting skin integrity – like JAY Fusion or Jay 2 Deep Contour.

Why do i need a Wheelchair Cushion?

Wheelchairs are designed to be used with cushions.  Without them, it is difficult to maintain a functional and comfortable position and your skin is at risk for pressure injury.
 
Our wheelchair seat cushions are designed to meet a range of individual needs, offering a comprehensive heirarchy of comfort and postural support depending on your needs. 
 
A  high priority is to try and minimise the risk of skin breakdown and pressure sores as a result of seating for long periods of time.  By using a suitable Wheelchair Cushion, pressure management can be achieved by distribuing loads across the entire sitting surface while equalizing pressure in surrounding areas.  Jay cushions combine premium materials and research based contours to create highly effective, comfortable,skin protection cushions that require little maintenance and  offer highly personalised seating solutions.
