Span America Geo-Matt Wedge Wheelchair Cushion
Model: Geo-Matt Wedge with Anti-Slip Cover (4 sizes)
Availability: In Stock – Ready to Ship
A Wedge-Shaped Foam Wheelchair Cushion That Tapers From 4 Inches to 2
The Span America Geo-Matt Wedge is a non-powered wheelchair seat cushion with a simple job: it is 4 inches thick at the front and tapers to 2 inches at the back. That slope raises the front of the seat and lowers the back, which helps keep the hips toward the rear of the chair. It is designed for wheelchair users who tend to slide forward in the seat.
The cushion is made from high-resiliency, high-density foam with Span America’s Geo-Matt top, cut into individual segments that move independently to reduce shear as the user shifts, plus Ring-of-Air channels between them for airflow. The cover has an anti-slip top surface and a non-skid bottom that helps keep the cushion in place on the wheelchair seat, and a sewn sleeve accepts Span America’s optional Sling-Fill base (2SFB, sold separately) for added stability on a fabric sling seat. The Geo-Matt Wedge comes in four sizes from 16 to 20 inches wide, each supporting up to 250 lbs.

Equipment Specialist Insight: Order the cushion to match the wheelchair’s seat: measure the seat width between the armrests or side guards and the seat depth from the backrest to the front edge, then choose the matching width × depth. The wedge only works facing the right way: the thick 4″ edge goes at the front of the seat and the thin 2″ edge against the backrest. Because the front edge is 4″ high, check that the user’s feet still reach the footrests comfortably and that the front edge does not press behind the knees. A seating specialist or therapist can confirm that this cushion suits the user before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the right size?
Measure the wheelchair seat’s width and depth and choose the matching cushion. The first number in each size is the width and the second is the depth (front to back).
Which way does it go on the chair?
Put the thick (4″) edge at the front of the seat and the thin (2″) edge against the backrest.
Who is a wedge cushion for?
It is designed for wheelchair users who tend to slide forward in the seat. The higher front edge helps keep the hips toward the back of the chair.
Can I return it if it isn’t right?
No. Because this cushion is a personal-use seating product, it cannot be returned or refunded once it has shipped, including after a trial sit. Please confirm the size before ordering.
Please note: this item is final sale. For hygiene reasons, seating cushions cannot be returned, exchanged or refunded once they have shipped, and this includes cushions that have been sat on to test fit or comfort. Please measure the wheelchair seat and confirm the size and weight capacity before ordering.
