Q. Is Everest & Jennings Dura-Gel SP III cushion a good choice if someone
is starting to show signs of skin irritation from sitting too long?
A. This cushion helps reduce pressure
in key areas like the tailbone and hips, making it ideal for people at moderate
risk of developing pressure sores.
Q. What makes the gel in this Dura-Gel SP III cushion different from
liquid gel pads?
A. The Dura-Gel inside is non-liquid, so it won’t leak or shift around. It
stays stable and supportive without the mess or maintenance of liquid-based
options.
Q. Does the SP III medical-grade cushion help with sitting posture too?
A. It does. The design includes a gentle front-to-back slope that helps
align the pelvis and improve posture, which can also reduce fatigue over time.
Q. Will this Skin Protection Wheelchair cushion by Everest & Jennings stay
comfortable after sitting on it for hours?
A. Yes, the multi-layer foam and gel combo is made for long-term sitting
comfort. It doesn’t flatten easily and offers consistent pressure relief
throughout the day.
Q. Does the cover protect against spills or sweat?
A. The stretchable cover on Dura-Gel lightweight cushion is
fluid-resistant, so it helps keep moisture off the cushion and reduces skin
friction. It also supports infection control by being easy to wipe clean.
Q. Does it slide around on the seat or shift during transfers?
A. Dura-Gel SP III Wheelchair Cushion by Graham Field is equipped with a
rear safety strap and a non-slip cover, so it stays securely in place during use
or while getting in and out of the chair.
Q. Can this pressure relief seat cushion be used by someone who already
has a pressure sore?
A. This cushion is designed for people at moderate risk of developing
pressure sores, not for treating existing ones. Always consult a healthcare
provider to ensure the right support level for your condition.
Q. What sizes are available, and how do I pick the right one for my
wheelchair?
A. Available in widths from 16" to 24" and depths from 16" to 20", the Dura-Gel
SP III cushion fits most standard and heavy-duty wheelchairs. Measure your
wheelchair seat’s width and depth to ensure a snug fit without overhang.
