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.
Targeted Coccyx Pressure Relief and Postural Support
The icare Supporta Coccyx Wedge is designed to reduce direct pressure on the coccyx while encouraging a more comfortable seated position. Its coccyx cut-out and ergonomic wedge shape help redistribute contact away from the tailbone and gently support a more natural pelvic position.
A responsive ActiveX™ core provides pressure-relieving support, while a removable insert allows the cushion height to be adjusted for different users and chairs. Breathable Vant® fabric encourages airflow during extended sitting, and the zip-off washable cover supports practical everyday care. A waterproof cover option is also available.
Measuring 40 x 42 x 7 cm at the thick end, the wedge is suitable for home, office, travel and selected wheelchair seating. It has a Low–Medium risk classification and a Medium Feel.

Why Choose the icare Supporta Coccyx Wedge?
The Coccyx Wedge combines targeted offloading with a gently angled seating surface, making it different from a flat general-purpose cushion. Its adjustable insert and breathable cover make it practical across a range of everyday seating environments.
Choosing and Positioning the Support
icare Supporta Coccyx Wedge 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.
