Why Choose the The Equalizer Cushion?
This cushion gives care teams a manufacturer-backed option in the Seating Solutions category, with the configuration range to match the setting it will work in, from 18 x 16 in to 22 x 18 in, Case of 4. It is offered in 10 configurations, from 18 x 16 in to 22 x 18 in, Case of 4, so the setting it will work in can be matched without forcing a fit.
- Shear control in the seat – the segmented Geo-Matt surface moves with the user – repositioning drags less on skin during long sits (18 x 16 in to 22 x 18 in, Case of 4)
- Sizes that match the chair – the manufacturer's own size run for this family – the cushion fits the seat instead of being trimmed to it (10 configurations here)
- Cover matched to the setting – anti-slip and SoftSkin builds are named per configuration – the cushion stays where it is placed (sold as EA/1, first SKU EQ1816, 10 configurations)
