Skil-Care Gel-Foam Cushions 2.5 In 5 Sizes
Skil-Care Gel-Foam Wheelchair Cushions — 2.5" Thick, Five Sizes
Gel and Foam, Sized to Fit Wider Chairs Too
This Skil-Care gel-foam cushion pairs a high-density foam base with a gel insert to reduce pressure points, enhance stability, and support day-to-day seating comfort — the same dependable construction as our standard gel-foam line, extended here into two additional footprints for wider and deeper wheelchair seats. Every cushion is 2.5" thick.
Choose the durable, wipe-clean, fluid-resistant vinyl cover for straightforward everyday use, or step up to the Low-Shear II cover, which reduces skin friction and shear for anyone who shifts or repositions often. Five sizes are available with the Low-Shear II cover and four with vinyl, fitting most standard wheelchair sizes. Backed by a 1-year warranty.

Equipment Specialist Insight: This line picks up where our standard 4-size gel-foam cushion leaves off — the same construction, with 18"x18" and 20"x18" added for wheelchairs whose seat pan runs deeper than 16", not just wider. Measure both width and depth before ordering; a cushion that's the right width but too shallow front-to-back won't give full support. Choose vinyl for simplicity and easy cleaning, or the Low-Shear II cover for anyone who slides, shifts, or transfers frequently — the same decision that applies across every Skil-Care cushion line. Note the 20"x18" size is only offered with the Low-Shear II cover; if you specifically want vinyl at that footprint, check with us on availability. Wipe the cover during routine cleaning, inspect for flattening, and replace the cushion when the foam no longer springs back.

Q: What size do I need?
A: Measure your wheelchair's seat pan — width side to side, depth front to back — and match both dimensions. 18"x16" and 20"x16" suit standard-depth chairs at different widths; 18"x18" and 20"x18" fit seats with more depth. All sizes are the same 2.5" thickness.
Q: Vinyl or Low-Shear II — which cover?
A: Vinyl is the simple, wipe-clean everyday choice. The Low-Shear II cover reduces friction and shear for anyone who shifts, slides, or transfers often, at a small premium over vinyl. Four sizes offer both; the 20"x18" is currently Low-Shear II only.
Q: How do I care for the cushion?
A: Wipe the cover with a damp cloth and mild cleanser and let it dry. Don't submerge the cushion. Check it regularly for flattening or damage and replace it when the foam no longer springs back.
Specifications are provided by the manufacturer and are subject to change; verify size and materials against the physical packaging, and confirm weight capacity with the manufacturer's specification sheet before purchase. Confirm the cushion size matches your wheelchair's seat dimensions before use; the cushion raises effective seat height by 2.5". A seating cushion supports comfort and positioning and is not a treatment for any medical condition; individuals with specific seating or skin-care needs should have cushion selection guided by their clinician or therapist. Inspect regularly and replace when worn. This listing is not a substitute for professional advice.
