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.
Sit with more natural alignment
When long hours of sitting encourage the pelvis to roll backwards, the lower back can work harder to maintain a comfortable position. The icare Supporta Posture Wedge gently tilts the pelvis forward to encourage a more upright sitting posture and natural spinal alignment. It is a simple seating aid for people looking to improve their everyday position without replacing their chair, whether they are at a desk, dining table or travelling around New Zealand.
The ergonomic wedge shape provides supportive alignment while a removable insert lets you adjust the cushion depth for a more personalised fit. Its breathable Vant™ fabric uses a 3D construction to allow air to circulate during extended use. A zip-off washable cover supports practical hygiene and regular care. The wedge is lightweight and easy to position, giving users a compact, non-bulky way to change the angle of their existing seating surface.
Use the icare Supporta Posture Wedge on an office chair, dining chair, vehicle seat, wheelchair or other suitable seating surface. It suits people who spend extended periods seated and want an aid that encourages pelvic positioning and a more upright posture. It can be used at home, in workplace seating and while travelling. If you have complex positioning needs, confirm the wedge is appropriate within your individual seating plan.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Posture Wedge help with lower-back discomfort?
By encouraging pelvic positioning and natural spinal alignment, the wedge may help reduce discomfort associated with prolonged sitting. It is a supportive seating aid, not a cure. If pain is persistent, severe or unexplained, seek advice from a healthcare professional.
Is the cover removable for cleaning?
Yes. The Posture Wedge has a zip-off cover that can be removed for washing, helping maintain hygiene and freshness. Follow the supplied care instructions, and wait until the cover is fully dry before putting it back on the wedge.
Can I use the wedge on an office chair?
Yes. It is suitable for many office chairs and may also be used on dining chairs, wheelchairs, vehicle seats and other seating surfaces. Check that the wedge sits flat and does not compromise your stability or safe transfers.
How is this different from a standard seat cushion?
A standard cushion mainly adds padding or comfort. The Posture Wedge has an angled shape intended to gently tilt the pelvis forward, encouraging a more upright sitting position and natural spinal alignment during everyday seated activities.
What is the benefit of pelvic positioning?
A more neutral pelvic position can encourage improved sitting posture, more balanced weight distribution and comfort over prolonged sitting. Individual results vary, and the wedge should feel stable and appropriate for your chair before regular use.
Is the Posture Wedge suitable for daily use?
Yes. It is designed for everyday sitting in home, workplace and suitable care environments. Start with shorter periods if an altered sitting angle feels unfamiliar, then adjust use according to comfort and any guidance from your healthcare professional.
What size is the icare Supporta Posture Wedge?
The wedge measures 40cm long by 40cm wide by 7cm high. Check these dimensions against the usable seat area of your chair to make sure it can sit flat and leave enough room for safe seating.
Can I use it in a vehicle?
Yes, it is suitable for vehicle seating where it fits securely and does not interfere with driving controls, seat belts or safe operation. Always test the position before travelling, and do not use it if it makes driving feel unstable.
