The General is 5.08cm (2 inches) of patented EquaGel™ with a 1.90cm (0.75'') trochanter that's bucket-sculpted in for stability and comfort.

Key Features

100% EquaGel
2” tall EquaGel in two stages
The top layer is thin wall gel and a tight grid for a comfort layer
The bottom layer is thicker wall gel and a wide grid for deep posture support
The pelvic area of the cushion is contoured to more evenly distribute a user’s weight than flat cushions, while retaining 1 ¼” of buckling gel under the pressure points
Fluid resistant, vapour permeable, flame resistant cover

About EquaGel

Its most amazing feature is the column buckling. Simply put, column buckling refers to the way EquaGel™ behaves under weight. Each wall of gel is capable of supporting only a light load. When that threshold is exceeded, the wall of gel buckles into the hollow area between walls and passes the weight to the surrounding walls for support
This “buckling and weight-passing” happens instantly and repeatedly until the maximum surface area of pressing weight is evenly supported by largely equalised pressure (hence our name, EquaPressure)
The peak pressure points of the ischial tuberosities and the coccyx/sacrum buckle into the EquaGel™ feeling almost as if they are free floating within the cushion while the thighs and buttock of the user are supported
Each cushion also utilises a two-stage buckling approach. The top of the cushion has a small grid of gel that is extra sensitive to pressure needs. This is the comfort layer. This top layer buckles easily and allows the parts of a user that need support to sink into the lower layer (the support layer) while holding the rest of the user up in good posture
Some of our cushions also feature a pelvic contour. This gentle contouring mimics the natural sitting shape and further distributes pressure away from sensitive areas
