Are these cushions also useful for general use such as for taking to sporting events, the theatre, car etc?
Yes, particularly the Diffuser Cushion with its combination of Memory foam and Traditional foam, and of course the Multi Purpose Cushion in pressure-dispersing egg-carton foam. Very handy, very comfortable!
I have been looking at your cushions I'm not sure what cushion is right for my needs. I was told by my Dr that I had a slipped disc pushing on my nerve I also have exsesive pain in my bottom the right of my left buttock and top of leg. I can't sit for long I have spent a long time to recover but need something to protect that area. Please advice on what product if any that may help me get out of this bed.
We would probably recommend the diffuser cushion as the best product for all-round support. It is a bit thicker than the multipurpose which is what we would recommend for you in this case. Also, it is memory foam which we think would be of benefit.
I have recently purchased a new couch. Unfortunately, I am finding the couch cushions sag too much and is hurting my back if I sit for too long. I was thinking of purchasing one of your cushions to place on top of the existing couch to both elevate the sitting position and reduce the sag effect. I do have lower back skeletal problems and I weigh approx 100kg. Which product would you recommend?
We would recommend the diffuser cushion. It is a bit more firmer than the multipurpose and we think it would be best for this use. It is also marginally thicker at 7.5cm which we think you would be looking for.
Could you please tell me the density of this cushion?
The important issue with regards to the quality of the product is the weight of the foam being used in the cushion. This is usually based on the weight of a 1m x 1m x1m block of foam. The weight of this is 48kg in the case of the multipurpose cushion which means the cushion will not sag or give in over time and use. The hardness of the foam is a 30 in rating which means it is comfortable from the outset and will not get softer over the short to medium term.
Can this cushion be used on sofa? If not, is there another cushion product that can be use on the sofa?
Both the multipurpose and the diffusor cushion would probably be perfectly fine for use on a sofa. We would probably recommend the durafab covering as that will be less likely to slide around on your sofa.

Do I get better pressure dispersion the more I pay for a seat cushion?
Not necessarily. Some people like an egg-carton foam surface, some a Memory foam surface, some latex, and some angled cushion. It's a matter of personal preference and the application.
I have been told that I need to use a WAFFLE cushion, is this cushion the same to prevent pressure sores where I sit? Also is there a cushion of about 50 x 50 cm?
The Multipurpose cushion may be helpful for this purpose but we cannot 100% guarantee that this will help prevent pressure sores. We would always suggest talking with your GP before making the purchase.This cushion is also 45cmx45cm.
Hi just inquiring in your cushion what's the difference Dura-fab and a steri-plus? Cushion. Ty monica

I'm looking for the cushion for a wheelchair. The wheelchair is the extra large 24 inch wide seat (= 61 cm). We are currentluy hiring one and it's about 2.5 iches thick with textured faom which aids the prevention sores. Please advise if you have a suitable size and what the price would be. Thanks, Wally Young.
Hi Wally, We can make our diffuser cushion to a size of 60cm x 55cm which i think should do the trick for you. The price on that will be $129 and if you would like to order plese contact us at 03 8585 6685 and we can organise for you. Warm regards, Brett Parnham
Can you please tell me the weight of this cushion?
Yes this cushion weighs 850 grams.
Do you sell replacement covers for this product in dura fab?
We do sell covers for these and they can be found under our accessories section on the website.
Is Steri-Plus cover washable?
Although this product cannot be washed in a washing machine it can be wiped down as required with a mild detergent.
Do you sell spare covers for Multi-Purpose Cushion - Egg Foam Seat Support Cushion?
We do sell the additional covers for this product. They can be found under accessories and then product covers and slips on our website.
I bought the diffuser cushion medium. I think it's going to be OK for my office chair but it's much too high for the car seat. I need a much thinner one. Is this one thinner? I found another on your site that says 5cm but I think that will be too high as well.
Although this product is the same height, as it is the egg foam shape, it will condense down a lot more than the diffuser.
Does this cushion help people with proxmial hamstring tendinopathy?
Unfortunately, we are unable to guarantee that this product will assist with your comfort. It is not designed with your specific concern in mind and is more to offer additional comfort for the average person. We would suggest speaking with your healthcare professional to see what support products they would suggest.
I wondered if the egg foam in the seat cushion resembles the one in the body hugger mattress topper.
The shape is very similar, but the foam has a higher density and higher resilience as it holds more body weight under the bottom than the body hugger does when someone is lying horizontally on it.
Does the cushion come with a carry handle or bag
Hi,This product does not have a carry handle attached, however, it is packaged nicely in a clear plastic bag with zip closure and soft cord handles.Warm regards,Cristina
Do you sell the green covers for this cushion separately?
Hi Margaret, the Multi Purpose cushion slip only in Steri-Plus is $35.00. Kind regards Anmaree

Is the steri-cover removable and washable? Can I slip an incontinence pad between the pillow and the cover? I need a discrete way to seat my mom at church. She leaks urine so badly she frequently wets the church chair. Thought this pad might look discrete enough to be a "walker"pad and look like a regular seat pad.
Hello, I dont think it will work for your requirement as the outside cover is waterproof and not permit leakage to get through to the pad i am sorry. I would recommend giving a company called protectabed a call 03 9544 0723 and they can advise which product mightbe best for the protection aspect and i am happy to make acustome size product up for your Mum that fits it. Let me know if i can be of further assistance on 03 8585 6685. Warm regards, Brett. 03 8585 6685
