Drive DeVilbiss Air Layer Pressure Care Cushion – Viscoelastic Foam with Air Layer for Pressure Relief
The Drive DeVilbiss Air Layer Pressure Care Cushion is an advanced seating solution designed to deliver optimal comfort, superior pressure redistribution, and improved skin microclimate management for users at risk of pressure ulcers. Developed by Drive DeVilbiss Healthcare, a trusted name in pressure care technology, this cushion combines the proven performance of viscoelastic memory foam with an innovative air layer top to ensure consistent support and breathability. It is ideal for users who require effective pressure management during prolonged periods of sitting, whether in a wheelchair, chair, or clinical environment.
At the heart of the cushion lies a high-quality viscoelastic foam core that adapts to the user’s body shape, evenly distributing weight to minimise peak pressure points. This helps reduce the risk of skin damage and discomfort caused by prolonged sitting. The foam reacts to body heat and pressure, contouring precisely to the user’s natural shape to offer tailored support and lasting comfort. The addition of an integrated air layer system enhances this performance further by promoting continuous airflow, reducing moisture build-up, and maintaining a healthy skin temperature. Together, these layers create a dynamic support surface that responds to movement and changes in position, providing both stability and relief.
The cushion’s outer cover has been engineered to maintain hygiene and durability while maximising comfort. Constructed from waterproof and vapour-permeable bi-stretch polyurethane fabric, the cover allows air circulation while preventing fluid ingress, which is vital for infection control in healthcare settings. The bi-stretch properties minimise shear and friction forces, working in harmony with the cushion’s foam and air layers to further reduce pressure ulcer risk. It is also wipe-clean for ease of maintenance, ensuring that hygiene standards remain consistently high without compromising on usability or comfort.
The ergonomic shape of the Air Layer Pressure Care Cushion promotes correct posture and seating stability. By supporting the natural alignment of the spine and pelvis, it reduces strain on the lower back and enhances user comfort over long durations. This makes it particularly suitable for wheelchair users, individuals recovering from surgery, and those who spend significant time seated for clinical, mobility, or lifestyle reasons. Despite its sophisticated construction, the cushion remains lightweight and easy to handle, allowing for simple positioning, removal, and cleaning as required.
Safety and stability are integral to the cushion’s design. The non-slip base ensures that the cushion remains securely in position on a variety of seating surfaces, from wheelchairs to recliners. This feature provides peace of mind for both users and caregivers, reducing the risk of shifting or sliding during use. Each element of the cushion has been engineered to provide long-term reliability, ensuring consistent performance even under regular, daily use.
The Drive DeVilbiss Air Layer Pressure Care Cushion is an excellent choice for users seeking dependable, clinically effective pressure relief with an emphasis on comfort, hygiene, and support. Whether used in a hospital, care home, or domestic setting, it offers the ideal balance of cushioning and airflow for enhanced wellbeing. Drive DeVilbiss has combined cutting-edge materials with ergonomic design expertise to produce a cushion that not only relieves pressure effectively but also promotes better posture and comfort throughout the day.
With its innovative air layer, viscoelastic foam construction, and superior cover technology, this cushion exemplifies the next generation of pressure management solutions. It represents a reliable, durable, and practical investment in user comfort and skin protection, designed for long-term performance across a range of care environments.
