Cooler, steadier sitting for long days in your chair

When you sit for hours at a time, heat and pressure build up — and that's when skin starts to suffer. The JAY Union from Sunrise Medical is made for people at medium to high risk of pressure sores who spend long stretches in their wheelchair.

It layers a cooling memory foam top over a JAY Flow fluid pad, sitting in a shaped foam base with gentle side supports for your hips. You feel held and secure, you stay cooler, and pressure is spread more kindly under your pelvis from morning to evening.

✅ Key Features & Benefits

• Cooling Memgel memory foam top
  The gel-infused layer helps stop heat building up beneath you, so you stay more comfortable through warm days and long sits — and cooler skin is healthier skin.

• JAY Flow fluid insert
  The fluid shapes itself to your body and spreads pressure away from bony areas, which matters if you're at medium to high risk of skin breakdown.

• Hip supports for side-to-side stability
  1" pelvic wedges at the sides help keep you centred, useful if you tend to lean or tire as the day goes on.

• Two-layer cover
  A water-resistant inner cover protects the cushion, while the antimicrobial outer cover helps keep it fresh.

• Lower-profile option
  A reduced-height version is available if you need to keep your seat lower, for example to fit under a table or propel more easily.

• Built for long sitting
  A good choice if you're in your chair for most of the day, whether it's a manual chair or an electric wheelchair.

Who it suits best

• Users who need extra side support at the hips

Worth knowing before you buy

The standard Union stands about 11 cm (110 mm) at its tallest edge, which raises your seat noticeably — the reduced-profile version is about 9 cm. The user weight limit depends on width: 136 kg (21 st) up to a 50 cm seat, and 227 kg (35 st) for wider sizes. If your skin is healthy and you only sit for short spells, a simpler foam cushion may be all you need.
