Gel-U-Seat Wheelchair Cushions

Sitting for hours in a wheelchair puts steady pressure on the same tissue, and that's where skin breakdown starts. The Drive DeVilbiss Gel-U-Seat line answers that risk with a combination foam-and-gel core: firm foam gives the seat its shape and support, while the gel bladder redistributes weight away from the ischial tuberosities and tailbone. The result is a noninflatable cushion that never needs pumping, checking for leaks, or reinflating — it simply works every time you sit down.

Two constructions are available here. The Gels-U-Seat Lite (model 8040 series) is a 2-inch-thick everyday cushion for users who want pressure relief without a lot of bulk, and it comes in the widest size range — 16x16, 18x16, 20x16, 18x18, and a bariatric 24x20 model rated to 500 lbs. The standard Gel-U-Seat (8046 series) is 3 inches thick with a heavier Masongard cover for more cushioning and durability.
