BetterLiving Silicon Fibre Ring Cushion
Targeted pressure relief for sensitive areas
This ring‑shaped cushion provides focused pressure redistribution for users who sit for extended periods. It is ideal for people with spinal cord injury, post‑surgical patients, the elderly and anyone at risk of pressure injuries. The silicone‑coated fibre core promotes airflow and maintains loft, reducing shear and moisture buildup. Clinicians can prescribe it to improve comfort, protect skin integrity and support independent sitting.
The doughnut‑shaped profile creates a central void that unloads the coccyx and perineal area. This geometry is especially beneficial for users with haemorrhoids, hip bursitis or post‑operative discomfort. By removing pressure from these vulnerable zones, the cushion supports longer, pain‑free sitting sessions.
Silicone‑coated cylindrical fibres retain their loft and resist flattening over time. The fibres disperse load across a larger surface, reducing peak pressures. Their moisture‑repellent coating limits sweat penetration, helping maintain skin health.
The cover is a blend of breathable cotton and polyester that meets Australian fire‑safety standards. It is machine‑washable, enabling easy hygiene for clinicians and carers. The fabric works with the core to promote airflow and keep the user cool.
This cushion meets the criteria for NDIS assistive‑technology funding under the pressure‑care category. Its safe‑working‑load of 100 kg aligns with standard NDIS weight limits. Clinicians can include it in a participant’s support plan to improve independence and comfort.
