Pressure Relieving Seat Cushions

Pressure care is a common need in care homes and one of the most well used forms of pressure relief comes in the form of a pressure relieving seat cushion. These can be purchased individually, invariably covered in a blue stretch material, as square blocks of foam. In themselves they do a great job, but there is often one drawback – they do not match with the upholstery on the chair or the décor in the room!

Spearhead offers the option of upgrading to have all the seat cushions on your chairs made with pressure relieving memory foam inbuilt. There are a number of benefits to doing this, some of which are listed below:

• Lounge chairs automatically have pressure relieving properties built into them
• All residents in the home benefit from this and it can be marketed to prospective new residents and their families as something you provide as standard in your care home
• It can act as ‘pressure prevention’ so means that it is preventing pressure issues occurring and can save the cost of more expensive pressure relieving equipment in the long run
• Can be upholstered in a multi-stretch fabric to match the upholstery on the chair and décor of the room
• No more square blue blocks of foam that don’t match in the room!
