Description
Medi-Soft Foam Ring Cushion
The Medi-Soft Foam Ring Cushion is a soft oval ring cushion made from moulded eggshell-style foam and supplied with a cotton cover. Its central opening reduces direct contact beneath the middle of the seated area, while the soft foam provides a more forgiving feel than the firm Medi-Soft ring cushion.
Soft or Firm Ring Cushion?
Choose the Foam Ring Cushion when a softer, more forgiving feel is preferred. The Medi-Soft Firm Ring Cushion has a more structured moulded feel and sits slightly lower at approximately 70 mm. Both have a 440 mm outside diameter and 120 mm central opening, so the main difference is firmness and feel rather than overall footprint.

Pressure-Care Note
Ring-shaped cushions alter the distribution of sitting pressure. They are not automatically suitable for every pressure-care need. Users with fragile skin, an existing wound or significant pressure-injury risk should seek professional seating advice.
Choosing and Positioning the Support
Medi-Soft Foam Ring 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.
