Description
New Charcoal Fabric
The Supporta range will now be available in a modern charcoal fabric, offering a contemporary, neutral appearance that suits a wide variety of home and healthcare environments.
Enhanced Modular Design
The cushions have been updated with a more modular construction, providing greater adaptability to support users as their needs change over time.
The updated cushions will be introduced progressively as existing stock is sold through.
During this transition, you may receive either the current version or the updated charcoal version. Both versions meet the same quality and performance standards, and no action is required when placing orders.
Heavy-Duty Bariatric Seating Support and Pressure Redistribution
The icare Supporta Bariatric Seat Cushion is designed to provide enhanced comfort, support and stability for bariatric users across wheelchairs, lift chairs, recliners and home seating. Its generous 50 x 45 x 10 cm surface combines ergonomic contouring with a heavy-duty three-layer construction.
The three-layer design combines pressure redistribution, stability and support, with a high-density core built for demanding everyday use. A removable insert allows the cushion depth to be adjusted for a more personalised fit, while breathable Vant™ fabric encourages airflow and helps reduce heat build-up during extended sitting.
The cushion has a 250 kg safe working load, a Low–Medium risk classification and a Medium Feel. A zip-off washable cover supports routine care and helps make the cushion practical for home, rehabilitation and care environments.

Why Choose the icare Supporta Bariatric Seat Cushion?
This cushion is purpose-built for users who need a wider, more stable and higher-capacity seating surface than a standard cushion provides. Its three-layer construction and adjustable depth combine heavy-duty support with practical pressure redistribution and everyday comfort.
Choosing and Positioning the Support
icare Supporta Bariatric Seat Cushion should support the intended body area without forcing the user into an uncomfortable posture. Consider the chair or bed dimensions, the person’s body size and the amount of firmness or contouring preferred. Small changes in placement can alter how the support feels, so it is worth taking time to position it while the user is settled in their normal sitting or lying position.
Check the fit again after a short period of use and inspect the skin where pressure or heat may build up. Covers and foam components should be cared for according to their labels so their shape and finish are maintained. Where the product is being considered for pressure care, persistent pain or significant postural needs, seek advice from an appropriate health professional.
