For a bariatric client who sits all day and runs hot, this pairing puts an adjustable air cell cushion under the pelvis and a breathable stretch cover over the top. The Vicair O2 XXtra uses compartments of air filled SmartCells that shift as the client moves, so load spreads across the contact area and does not concentrate under the bony points.
The Comfair cover is knitted polyester with a mesh side panel, so air and heat move away from the skin. It has an anti slip base and hook and loop strips to hold position in the chair, and a zip puller a carer can work without fuss. The whole cushion washes in a machine, which keeps reprocessing simple in a shared or hire setting.
Who it suits
Clients with an existing pressure injury or a history of skin breakdown, clients with minor pelvic asymmetry that needs accommodating, and anyone whose heat and moisture at the seat surface is part of the risk picture.
