Cushions & Mattresses — Pressure Injury Prevention That Actually Works

For patients who spend long stretches in a wheelchair or bed, the cushion or mattress beneath them is not a comfort item — it is the primary clinical defense against pressure injuries. The cost difference between a stage-1 hot spot and a stage-4 wound is measured in months of healing and tens of thousands of dollars. Peak Health and Wellness carries the cushions and surfaces that wound-care nurses and PTs actually specify, from light-prevention gel cushions to full alternating-pressure mattress systems.

What You'll Find in Cushions & Mattresses

• Cushions & Covers: Foam, gel, hybrid foam-gel, and air-cell wheelchair cushions in standard, deep-contour, and bariatric sizes, plus replacement covers.
• Hospital & Therapy Mattresses: Therapeutic foam mattresses, pressure-redistribution mattresses, and Hi/Lo bed mattresses sized for home-care and long-term-care frames.
• Pressure Prevention Surfaces: Static and dynamic pressure-redistribution overlays, low-air-loss surfaces, and full powered systems for higher-risk patients.
• Pressure Mattress Pumps: Replacement and stand-alone pumps for alternating-pressure mattress systems.
• Heel & Elbow Protectors: Padded heel boots, elbow sleeves, and bony-prominence protectors to address the most common pressure-injury sites.
• Pillows: Positioning pillows, wedge pillows, and specialty pillows for body positioning and offloading.

How to Choose Pressure Prevention

• Risk drives the surface. Light-prevention foam is fine for low-risk patients who can reposition themselves. Higher-risk patients (limited mobility, prior wound history, malnutrition) need alternating-pressure or low-air-loss surfaces.
• Match cushion to chair use. Six-plus hours per day in a wheelchair calls for a clinical-grade pressure cushion (gel or air-cell), not a foam pad.
• Don't forget the heels and elbows. The mattress alone won't offload boniest prominences — pair surfaces with proper heel boots and positioning.
• Replace, don't refurbish. Cushions lose their pressure-redistribution properties as foam compresses and gel migrates. Most clinical cushions are rated for 1–2 years of daily use.
• Ballpark pricing. Foam wheelchair cushions start around $40; gel cushions $90–$180; air-cell cushions (ROHO-class) $300–$500; alternating-pressure mattress systems $400–$1,500.
