Varilite Meridian Cushion is air and foam floatation, coupled with multi-stiffness foam. Meridian is an adjustable Air-Foam Floatation skin protection cushion. Bonding of the meridian foam to coated fabric makes the cushion hold air. The four-way-stretch knit fabric allows for maximum conformity during immersion and the fabric is puncture & water resistant.
Air and Foam floatation
Three types of foam are used to make it functional: soft foam is used for the decubitus-sensitive area of the ITs; medium foam is used for the thigh trough, pelvic bucketing and pre-ischial bar; firm foam is used for the perimeter and the medial thigh separator.
Dual-chambers
Positioning supports
It improves stability for users with compromised sitting balance or who transfer frequently. Multi-stiffness foam provides support as the user is immersed in the cushion. Medial & lateral supports minimize internal & external lower extremity rotation.
Valve for adjusting volume
Cover
Meridian is available with a mesh or incontinence cover with breathable four-way-stretch material. Reticulated foam inside promotes air exchange & improves pressure distribution. The underside is a rugged nonslip mterial with hook and loop for added security. Both covers are machine washable.

Q: How do Varilte cushions work?
A: Air in a Varilite cushion supports the load, while foam keeps the air where it's needed and preserves the cushion shape. Learn more about the Varilite Air-Foam technology
Q: How is the cushion adjusted properly?
A:
Q: Why do some seat cushions have an indentation?
A: The cushion is designed to indent in the sacral-ischial area. The soft, less firm foam of the sacral-ischial area, by design, exerts less "push back" on the cushion fabric than the surrounding firmer foam. See Sacral-ischial foam indentation detailed information
Q: Will a 16" x 18" cushion fit in a 17" x 18" chair?
A: No. Select the cushion that is 1" larger. For example if your wheelchair size is 17" x 18", select an 18" x 18" cushion. The cushion will accommodate the 1" size difference without affecting its performance.
Q: Are Varilite cushions available in custom sizes?
A: Varilite cushions are available in a wide range of widths and depths. Size selection is frequently updated to meet the needs of customers. Standard sizes often accommodate custom wheelchairs well. If you need a size that is not currently available, select the cushion that is 1" larger as explained in the above question.
Q: How do I maintain my Varilite seating system and back support?
A: We recommend that you leave the valve open and allow the cushion to fully inflate overnight at least once a week to maintain optimal cushion performance and foam integrity. Check your cushion's inflation level daily to ensure optimal seating and positioning.

Q: Is there any latex in Varilite cushions or covers?

Q: What do I do if the valve breaks or comes loose?
