Standard foam and egg-crate pads are designed for instant comfort, not long-term safety. Under an adult's weight, they quickly compress and flatten out. This "bottoming out" leaves your loved one sitting on a hard surface, restricting circulation, which can contribute to "hot spots" that can lead to sores. Worse, foam acts like an insulator, trapping the heat and moisture that accelerate skin breakdown.
Zero Cushion uses high-density gel pressure-redistribution technology. Instead of compressing, the specialized gel grid actively disperses weight away from the tailbone and hips. This is designed to help reduce pressure that can restrict blood flow, while the open honeycomb channels vent heat away from the body —helping keep skin cool and dry all day long.
