XLella Bariatric

Cushion Range

Purpose-designed bariatric cushion range for sizes 22″ and above

Purpose-designed bariatric cushion range for sizes 22″ and above, with a robust design, refined shaping for larger users, and a sturdy foam construction. The range is available in Vigour and Classic styles.

The bariatric population presents specific seating challenges. Positioning the pelvis in neutral may not be possible because excessive soft tissue limits the ability to control the position of the pelvis and spine, therefore, it is essential to provide adequate pressure distribution and relief, heat and moisture control, and ultimately, comfort.

The excessive adipose tissue in the gluteal region (gluteal shelf) can also prevent bariatric users from sitting with adequate spinal support, which can contribute to back pain. Offering solutions to accommodate the unique posterior shape created by this redundant tissue is paramount.

XLella bariatric range consists of back supports and cushions, which span from 22” to 28” width, with options for custom items up to 32”. For sizes 21″ and below, these are available in our regular Spex cushion range.

The XLella cushions provide an off-the-shelf solution, with integrated adjustability and adaptability for potential changing needs. These are available in two different styles to meet the individual requirements and body shapes of the user, XLella Vigour Standard Contour and the XLella Classic (available in both Standard and High Contour). Both models are transport certified and have a weight capacity of up to 225kg.

Benefits

Sturdy Cushion Built with Enforced Lateral Support

The XLella Cushions are built to support larger users. Featuring supportive lateral rigidisers along the sides of the cushion, these not only help to maintain the shape of the cushions but also add extra thigh support and alignment.

Robust Foam Construction

The XLella Cushions are constructed using higher density foams to ensure the durability and longevity of the cushion, allowing them to withstand a larger weight capacity whilst maintaining support and comfort over long periods of time. Specific foam construction differs from the regular Spex Cushion models, easily visible by the change in colour and thickness.

Refined Ischial Well Geometry

Developed to specifically to accomodate larger shapes, the ischial well geometry of the XLella cushion range has been refined to better suit the anatomy of bariatric users.

Available in Vigour Style for Active Users

The XLella Vigour with Standard Contour height, being a less complex and non-contourable option, is ideal for more active users who require a sturdy base of support and high degree of stability.

Available with Strategic Positioning Base for Greater Positioning

The XLella Classic which is available in either Standard or High Contour, features the renowned Spex Strategic Positioning Base, enabling the cushion to be configured to solve many different pelvis needs. The contourable base system is ideal for users with moderate to severe positioning and pressure requirements, particularly for users whose needs may change over time, have symmetrical or asymmetrical sitting postures, or require pelvic stability that can be accommodated by specific positioning.

Dual Layer Cover Design to Reduce Chafing

Dual-layer technology in the cushion outer cover reduces shear forces, combatting the likelihood of chaffing and pressure sores. With air-mesh side panels and moisture-wicking top surface fabric; build-up and the impacts of temperature are countered. Covers can be easily removed and refitted after laundering.
