Summary: If your parent spends hours sitting in a chair or recliner each day, their skin may already be under more pressure than you realise.

Pressure sores are one of the most preventable conditions in older people’s care — and one cushion is giving thousands of families the protection they need, without overhauling their routine.

FlowGel spreads your parent’s weight evenly across hundreds of contact points — tailbone, sit bones, hips, all of it.

Unlike foam that collapses flat, it maintains consistent pressure relief no matter how long they sit. You can worry less during times you’re not there to reposition them.

Your parents move from recliner to dining chair to wheelchair throughout the day.

FlowGel is lightweight, portable and versatile enough to provide the same pressure relief wherever they sit — the recliner, dining room chair or wheelchair.

One cushion, complete protection.

3. No need for constant repositioning

Most carers are told to reposition every two hours but that’s not always realistic, especially if you’re at work or out.

FlowGel’s ActiveFlow Core™ relieves pressure continuously so your parent can sit comfortably for hours without needing to reposition.

Less disruption for both of you.

Most foam cushions compress after weeks of continued use, which puts your parent at risk of developing pressure sores.

FlowGel’s medical-grade gel springs back to its original shape after every use.

Press it and watch it bounce back instantly. That’s protection you can trust years from now.

Pressure sores don’t just come from pressure — moisture from sweat or incontinence accelerates skin breakdown.

The gel grid design promotes constant airflow, keeping skin cooler and drier.

The optional machine-washable cover makes cleaning simple. Less moisture means lower risk.

Once a pressure sore forms, every hour your parent sits is working against it.

The wound can’t heal if the same pressure keeps reopening it from the inside.

FlowGel removes that pressure entirely, giving damaged skin the conditions it needs to finally repair itself.

Full peace of mind for you and your parent.
