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.
Comfort That Moulds to Your Seat
Long periods in a wheelchair, office chair, vehicle or home chair can leave ordinary seating feeling hard and unsupportive. The icare Supporta Seat Cushion uses an ActiveX™ core that moulds to the body rather than pushing back, helping spread pressure across the seating surface. With six size and thickness options, it provides a practical way to improve everyday seated comfort while matching the cushion more closely to the chair.
Its heat- and pressure-sensitive ActiveX™ core responds to the user's shape to help reduce concentrated pressure points. The cushion is available in 5cm and 10cm thicknesses, giving a choice of everyday comfort or greater immersion and support. A breathable zip-off washable cover supports hygiene for regular use, and a waterproof option is available. This is a responsive seating cushion designed for practical day-to-day care.
Choose the icare Supporta Seat Cushion for manual or powered wheelchairs, desk chairs, lift chairs, home seating and travel. It suits people seeking improved seating comfort and low to moderate pressure redistribution in a range of everyday environments. Measure the width and depth of the chair seat before choosing a size, and seek professional guidance when individual seating requirements are more complex.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the right cushion size?
Choose a cushion that closely matches the width and depth of your chair seat so it can provide stable, even support. Measure the seating surface before ordering and compare it with the listed options. If you are unsure, a healthcare professional or equipment supplier can help assess your seating requirements.
What is the difference between the 5cm and 10cm options?
The 5cm cushion is intended for everyday comfort and pressure redistribution. The 10cm option provides increased immersion and support for people who spend longer seated or need additional cushioning. The best choice depends on the chair, the user's seating tolerance and any advice provided by a clinician.
Can I use this cushion in a wheelchair?
Yes. The icare Supporta Seat Cushion is commonly used in manual and powered wheelchairs, as well as other seating settings. Select a size that closely matches the wheelchair seat. For complex seating needs, changes in posture or skin concerns, seek individual assessment from a qualified seating or healthcare professional.
What is ActiveX™?
ActiveX™ is a heat- and pressure-sensitive material that moulds to the shape of the body. Rather than pushing back like traditional foam, it adapts to help redistribute pressure and improve seated comfort. It is used in this cushion's core to provide responsive support during everyday sitting.
Is the cover washable?
Yes. The cushion has a removable zip-off cover designed for easy cleaning and daily use. Follow the care instructions supplied with the product when washing it. Regular cover care supports hygiene, particularly where the cushion is used frequently in a wheelchair, at work, at home or while travelling.
Is a waterproof option available?
Yes. A waterproof option is available for the icare Supporta Seat Cushion. This can be useful where added cover protection is desired. Confirm the selected option at purchase so the cushion and cover choice meet your needs. The standard product information also specifies a breathable, zip-off washable cover.
Can the cushion be used in a car or for travel?
Yes. It is designed for a range of seating environments, including travelling and vehicle seating. Ensure it sits securely and does not interfere with safe driving controls, belts or the vehicle seat. The cushion should improve comfort without changing the driver's ability to operate the vehicle safely.
Is this suitable for pressure injury prevention?
The ActiveX™ core is designed to help redistribute pressure and may assist with seated comfort. Individual pressure-injury risk and prevention needs require clinical assessment, particularly for people with reduced mobility or skin concerns. This cushion should be used as part of advice from the treating clinician, not as a guarantee of prevention.
Who is the icare Supporta Seat Cushion best suited to?
It is suited to people seeking improved everyday seated comfort and low to moderate pressure redistribution in a wheelchair, desk chair, vehicle or home chair. The six sizes and two thicknesses make it adaptable to many common seating situations. Complex clinical seating needs should be assessed individually.
Do you deliver icare Supporta Seat Cushions in New Zealand?
Yes. MoveSmart ships nationwide across New Zealand. Delivery availability can be confirmed for your address at checkout without promising a specific timeframe. Before ordering, check the chair width and depth and choose the listed size that most closely matches the seating surface for stable, effective use.
