"Sitting" occupies a significant portion of our daily lives.
For those who spend their time in a wheelchair, sitting comfortably can lead to a more pleasant and fulfilling day. However, discomfort while sitting can make life challenging.
Comfort preferences vary from person to person, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution.
Choosing a cushion that best fits your body is one way to address this. We aim to make sitting more enjoyable and comfortable with EXGEL. By enhancing the comfort of wheelchair use, we strive to make daily life easier and more vibrant.
The ideal cushion helps evenly distribute body weight from the moment you sit down until you stand up, while maintaining the correct alignment of the pelvis and spine. If the cushion features
gentle shock absorption,
smart weight distribution, and
soft, comfortable coverage,it can alleviate the physical strain of prolonged sitting. EXGEL embodies these qualities, delivering an unparalleled level of comfort.
Three Key Functions of EXGEL
Special Seat Cushion Cover
When using the cushion, please cover it with the included functional seat cushion cover. The cover's elasticity helps reduce heat buildup and features a back layer with added insulation and a waterproof coating.

Frequently Asked Questions
Your product seems thinner than other brands' cushions. Will it feel uncomfortable to use?
EXGEL uses a completely different special material compared to other market cushions. Although it is thin and lightweight, it fully supports and cushions your weight without feeling the hard seat surface, providing comfortable support.
Is the EXGEL cushion durable?
EXGEL is made from a material that does not easily age. Over time, the surface of the cushion may show minor scratches or damage. However, with proper care, the cushion can be used for a long time.
How much weight can the cushion support?
There is no specific weight limit for the user of our product. However, for optimal performance, we recommend using it for users up to 150 kg.
Can I bring the cushion on an airplane?
Since EXGEL is a solid material, it can be safely brought on an airplane.
Can the cushion be placed on a sofa or a chair with a curved surface?
Our cushion can be placed on a stable surface. As long as you feel comfortable sitting on it, it’s suitable. EXGEL products are relatively soft, and long-term use on uneven surfaces might cause slight deformation.
What is the temperature tolerance of the EXGEL cushion?
The cushion can be safely used within the temperature range typical for Taiwan's climate. At very low temperatures, it may become harder, and at high temperatures, it may become softer. If exposed to temperatures exceeding 80°C, the product may degrade or get damaged.
Is there a difference between the EXGEL wheelchair series cushions and other series cushions?- The EXGEL wheelchair cushions have over 20 years of history in Japan, with highly praised body pressure dispersion and pressure ulcer prevention effects. Developed in collaboration between EXGEL SEATING LAB and Japanese rehabilitation experts, these cushions combine materials that disperse body pressure and maintain good posture with shape designs suited for active use. Different cushions are developed based on various usage conditions. (Wheelchair users can also use other series cushions as long as they are comfortable.)
How to clean the wheelchair series cushions and armrest pads?
- Cushion / Armrest Pad Covers: After removing the cushion from the main body, gently hand wash with diluted neutral detergent. If using a washing machine, place it in a laundry net. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners. Do not boil, iron, dry clean, or use a dryer.
- Cushion / Armrest Pad Main Body: For stains, use a slightly damp cloth with diluted neutral detergent to gently wipe. Do not submerge the cushion or wash it in a washing machine. Do not use a dryer. For disinfection, use diluted disinfectant or alcohol spray on a cloth and wipe the surface.
