Comfortable, protective seating sized for children

Children spend a lot of their day sitting — at school, at the table, out and about — and an adult cushion simply doesn't fit a small wheelchair. The JAY Zip from Sunrise Medical is a paediatric cushion made in children's sizes, for kids who need moderate skin protection and a little help sitting well.

A shaped foam base helps your child sit centred and upright, and a soft memory foam top spreads pressure away from bony areas. It's low-profile and easy to fit correctly, so parents and carers can feel confident it's doing its job every day.

✅ Key Features & Benefits

• Made in children's sizes
  Widths from 20 to 34 cm and depths from 20 to 46 cm, so it fits a child's wheelchair properly rather than overhanging or bunching.

• Moderate skin protection
  The two-layer foam with a memory foam top reduces pressure across the seat, including under the bony parts of the hips.

• Shaped well for posture
  Gently guides your child into a balanced position — suited to mild to moderate postural support needs.

• Flat or contoured versions
  A contoured shape is available for children who need more help staying in a good position.

• Rolled front edge
  Softer under the backs of the legs, so it's more comfortable through a long school day.

• Easy to fit the right way round
  Markers on the cushion and cover show which way it goes, which helps busy parents, carers and school staff.

• Breathable cover with splash-proof liner
  A stretchy spacer-fabric cover lets air circulate, and the wipeable inner liner protects the foam from spills and accidents.

Who it suits best

• Children who use a wheelchair for school and daily life
• Kids with moderate skin protection needs
• Children needing mild to moderate posture support

Worth knowing before you buy

The JAY Zip is designed for children with moderate needs. If your child has a high risk of pressure sores or significant posture changes, a more specialised paediatric seating system may be better, and their therapist should be involved. At around 5 cm high it raises the seat only slightly. As children grow, they may need a larger size.
