Spex XLella Vigour Cushion
The Spex XLella Vigour cushion is a purpose-designed bariatric cushion range for sizes 22″ and above, with a robust design, refined shaping for larger users, and a sturdy foam construction.
The bariatric population presents specific seating challenges. Positioning the pelvis in neutral may not be possible because excessive soft tissue limits the ability to control the position of the pelvis and spine, therefore, it is essential to provide adequate pressure distribution and relief, heat and moisture control, and ultimately, comfort.
The XLella Vigour cushion is a great choice for more active users who require a sturdy base of support and high degree of stability.

Functional benefits:
Sturdy cushion built with enforced lateral support
The XLella cushions are built to support larger users. Featuring supportive lateral rigidisers along the sides of the cushion, these not only help to maintain the shape of the cushions but also add extra thigh support and alignment.
Robust foam construction
The XLella cushions are constructed using higher density foams to ensure the durability and longevity ion the cushion, allowing them to withstand a larger weight capacity whilst maintaining support and comfort over long periods of time. Specific foam construction differs from the regular Spex cushion models, easily visible by the change in colour and thickness.
Refined ischial well geometry
Developed specifically to accommodate larger body shapes, the ischial well geometry of the XLella cushion range has been refined to better suit the anatomy of bariatric users.
Dual layer cover design to reduce chafing
Dual layer technology in the cushion cover reduces shear forces, combatting the likelihood of chafing and pressure injuries. With air-mesh side panels and moisture-wicking top surface fabric, build-up and the impacts of temperature are countered. Covers can be easily removed and refitted after laundering.
Incontinence cover supplied with every cushion
All XLella cushions come standard with an easily removable incontinence cover for hygiene purposes and easy of cleaning.Technical specifications
