Geo- Matrix Cushions
High Performance. Zero Deflation or leaks. Durable. washable. low maintenance
Meticulously engineered wheelchair cushions that do not require calibration, with no risk of punctures or leaks. Optimal comfort, skin protection, function and durability. For use at home, in hospitals and long-term care.
Our Geo-Matrix™ seating system offers people the ability to sit longer without discomfort. The innovative gel and gel/foam layers effectively manage pressure with enhanced immersion qualities. Blood flow is increased, and peak pressure points are minimized because Geo-Matrix™ gel columns share the pressure load from bony prominences, which increases the “footprint” and inherently decreases pressure. This stimulates wound healing and reduces the risk of pain-related problems and skin breakdown.
Selecting the correct cushion requires consideration of mobility, postural stability and the need to prevent or treat pressure ulcers. We’ve eliminated the need for guesswork—no intrusive calibration procedures are required. This removes subjectivity from the process, saving valuable time in the caretaking process and giving both patients and caretakers increased peace of mind, as well as a more consistent and dignified experience when a new cushion is purchased.

Why Geo-Matrix?
Worry Free Comfort! Geo-Matrix™ gel’s closed cell construction ensures no risk of migration, leaking or oozing hazards posed by air or fluid filled products. Geo-Matrix™ has no risk for punctures, flattening, failing or inflation issues.
Geo-Matrix™ gel is capable of stretching more then 10x it’s original size only to immediately rebound back.
to its starting shape / position. Geo-Matrix™ gel can withstand the most aggressive users with no risk of the
gel losing its integrity.
Proven pressure redistribution through the Geo-Matrix™ gel’s columnar collapse. As the column walls collapse under peak pressure points, the neighbouring walls stretch to take on the pressure and expand it through a wider area, creating a larger “footprint” and eliminating peak pressure points. This, paired with the gel’s immensely immersive properties make Geo-Matrix™ a leader in preventing skin break down and healing existing ulcers.
Geo-Matrix™ gel comes in a variety of firmness’ , allowing for a comfortable feeling no matter the
user’s preference.
Geo-Matrix™ gel is non porous, so it will not absorb liquids. Feel free to use any (non-bleach) disinfectant on all gel components to eliminate all germs and bacteria!
Many wheelchair users are exposed to Whole Body Vibration (WBV) every single day. WBV can pose serious health risks after prolonged exposure, including fatigue, stomach problems, headaches, loss of balance and more… Geo-Matrix™ gel absorbs vibration and ultimately lessens the effects of WBV to the user.
Friction and shear forces are created when a surface is lacking in segmentation and therefore friction / shear wounds can occur. Luckily, Geo-Matrix™ gel has segmentation in every single gel sheet! Meaning significant prevention of friction and shear wounds.
Geo-Matrix™ gel is not affected by outside temperatures. Meaning the gel will not freeze when cold, and will not become fluid when warmed. Geo-Matrix™ gel always remains 2 degrees below ambient temperature. Meaning Geo-Matrix™ gel achieves an ideal microclimate management system for the entire length of a user’s experience.
Yes, Geo-Matrix™ gel can be machine washed! The gel can also be submerged, scrubbed, and sprayed.
