EquaGel™ is a dry-polymer gel, almost rubbery to the touch. It has unbelievable tensile and compression strength and
incredible durability; but these are not what make EquaGel™ special. 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 the name, EquaPressure).
The peak pressure points of the ischial tuberosities and the coccyx/sacrum buckle into the EquaGel™ feeling almost
as if they are freefoating 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 as a small grid of gel that is extra
sensitive of pressure needs, it 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 the
cushions also feature a pelvic contour. This gentle contouring mimics the natural sitting shape and further distributes
pressure away from sensitive areas.
