Availability: In stock — ready to ship
All-Day Comfort and Pressure Relief for Wheelchair Users
The McKesson Gel/Foam Seat Cushion combines molded foam with a gel layer to help redistribute pressure during extended time in a wheelchair, supporting comfort and helping in the prevention, treatment, and management of pressure sores. It's a practical everyday upgrade for anyone spending long hours seated, whether at home or out and about.
The low-shear, stretch nylon cover is breathable and comfortable against skin, while the durable gray bottom adds skid resistance to help keep the cushion in place. A strap-and-buckle securing method attaches it to most wheelchairs, and the cover is easy to keep clean for daily use.

Equipment Specialist Insight: A 2-inch profile like this one strikes a practical balance for everyday wheelchair use — low enough to keep the seated position stable and avoid raising the user too high relative to armrests or a table, while still providing meaningful gel/foam cushioning over a standard wheelchair seat pan. If pressure relief needs are more advanced or a deeper cushion is preferred, McKesson also offers this same cushion in a 3-inch profile; talk to your care team about which depth best fits your specific pressure-relief and positioning needs.
