Description
The Lumex Wedge Cushions use a sloped wedge profile to adjust pelvic position and discourage forward sliding, in gel/foam and basic builds. The basic wedge runs 3.25 to 4 in in height across its slope.
- Wedge profile for positioning
- Gel/foam and basic builds
- 3.25 to 4 in sloped height
- 22 x 18 and 24 x 18 in sizes
- Therapist-directed seating aid
A wedge is the simplest positioning intervention in seating: a slope that sets the pelvis back and changes the hip angle, discouraging the slow slide forward that ruins posture and skin. Lumex offers it two ways, a 22 x 18 gel and foam build, and the 24 x 18 basic wedge at 3.25 to 4 in of sloped height. Both are therapist-directed tools, fit them on recommendation. They are the shaped branch of a cushion range otherwise built on flat gel and foam.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a wedge cushion for?
The wedge shape tilts the pelvis and changes hip angle, which helps posture and can discourage sliding forward. Therapists use wedges as a simple positioning tool.
What is the difference between the two builds?
The 22 x 18 build combines gel and foam per its listing, the 24 x 18 is the basic wedge with a 3.25 to 4 in height profile. Size and construction both differ, labels state each.
What heights does the wedge have?
The basic wedge is specified 3.25 to 4 in, sloping across its depth. That slope is the positioning effect.
Who should use a wedge?
Users whose therapist recommends a pelvic tilt adjustment or anti-slide geometry. Wedges change posture and should be fitted, not guessed.
