The silent emergency
Skin begins dying after two hours of unrelieved pressure.
A home health aide arrives at 7am. Helps a paralyzed veteran into his wheelchair. Leaves by 9am. She won’t be back until 6pm. For nine hours he sits alone, unable to shift his weight, unable to feel if the damage has begun. And it has. It started two hours after she left.

Clinical consensus Patented HAPT® Technology
It mimics the muscles you can’t feel. Up to 60 times an hour.
Most people unconsciously shift their weight dozens of times an hour, even in sleep. For wheelchair users, that reflex is gone. HAPT® (Horizontal Alternating Pressure Technology) restores it with a wave of inflating and deflating air cells that lift and shift you, automatically, on a clinical schedule, whether you move or not.
- 01The cells inflate in waves
A near-silent pump fills and empties bladders in a horizontal alternating pattern, gently lifting one zone of pressure while supporting another.
- 02Blood flow is restored
Each lift offloads pressure from skin and tissue, allowing circulation to return to areas that were compressed.
- 03Up to 60 lifts and shifts every hour
You stay still. The cushion does the moving for you, automating the rhythm that prevents skin breakdown, on a clinical timer.
- 04You set the rhythm
Adjust firmness and cycle speed in the Ease Cushion app, or with Siri or eye-tracker for users who can’t use their hands.
How Ease compares
Passive cushions are reactive. Ease is active.
Foam, gel, and premium static air cushions distribute pressure more evenly than a bare seat. But they don’t move. They reduce damage. They cannot prevent it. The Ease Cushion is the only patented active alternating pressure system in seating worldwide.

U.S. Air Force operational validation
If it works for an F-15 pilot, it works for you.
Even physically elite, able-bodied fighter pilots develop pressure injuries during long missions in the cramped cockpits of F-15s and B-2s. The U.S. Air Force validated alternating pressure seating as a medical countermeasure, and the results were unambiguous.
If sustained static pressure injures the military’s fittest personnel, it categorically fails wheelchair users who sit ten hours daily with zero ability to move.

What you get
Built for the lives wheelchairs don’t pause.
The Ease Cushion isn’t a comfort accessory. It’s a clinical tool that works in the background while you live your life, designed to help you stay healthy, independent, and mobile.
01 / PROTECTION
May help prevent and treat pressure sores
Engineered specifically for individuals at risk of decubitus ulcers and used by patients, caregivers, and wound care physicians. Foam failsafe base means no emergency situation if the pump ever pauses.
02 / DISCREET
Whisper-quiet, all day
The Gen 2 pump was redesigned for near-silent operation and feels like a gentle phone vibration. Use it in offices, church, vehicles, and medical appointments without ever calling attention.
03 / SIMPLICITY
Up to 24-hour battery, magnetic charging
The new magnetic snap connector makes nightly charging possible for users with limited hand strength, no fiddly ports. One charge typically powers the cushion through a full day of use.
04 / CONTROL
Tunable to your body and your hands
Adjust firmness and cycle speed via the app, Siri voice control, or eye-tracker assistive technology. Ease was built so C4 and C5 quadriplegics can change settings without help, without hands.
Real, unsolicited stories
Independence isn’t a feature. It’s the whole point.
★★★★★
As a C5 quadriplegic, my limited arm movement restricted offloading. With Ease cushions on my manual and power wheelchairs, I can extend my out-of-bed time with no reemergence of wounds on my ischial or coccyx.
★★★★★
I had a pressure sore for over a year. After I started using the Ease cushion my sore started healing. I can now have a normal day in my electric wheelchair, and my pressure sore is completely healed.
★★★★★
I had severe Stage IV sacral decubiti from a 12-month hospitalization. After four years of daily wound changes, the Ease cushion eliminated the pain in the wheelchair and helped get the lesions healed. Money well spent.
★★★★★
Absolutely love this cushion. I have ALS and can’t move, so it helps so much. This is a must have.
The Ease Cushion app
Comfort, in your hands.
Pair the Ease Cushion with your phone over Bluetooth and tune your experience precisely. For C4 and C5 quadriplegics who can’t use their hands, the app is compatible with Siri voice control and eye-tracker assistive technology, so the cushion becomes something you can control without help.

Common questions
Everything we get asked, answered honestly.
Choosing a medical device is a serious decision. We’ve answered the questions we hear most. If yours isn’t here, our U.S.-based team can talk through your specific situation, Monday through Friday.
Call (810) 545-6553Many of our customers buy directly and get reimbursed later, transparent pricing, no deductibles, no delays, no co-pays. You can submit your receipt for HSA, FSA, or insurance reimbursement. Coverage varies by plan and state. Many users qualify for partial or full reimbursement, especially with a physician’s prescription. We do not bill insurance directly.
Yes, in many cases. Call your VA Hospital’s prosthetics department and have them contact us at (810) 545-6553. If you’re already receiving VA benefits, register on our veterans page and we’ll help with next steps. The Ease Cushion is in service at 50+ VA locations.
Every Ease Cushion comes with a 30-day risk-free trial and a customer experience team trained to help you adjust the device, troubleshoot fit, and get the most out of HAPT®. White-glove onboarding is included for the first 30 days. We’d much rather solve a comfort issue than process a return.
Close, but no. Massage seats use vibration or kneading to relax muscles. The Ease Cushion intermittently redistributes your weight so blood flow can resume to compressed tissue. Think of pinching your finger, the moment you let go, blood rushes back. That’s exactly what HAPT® does, all day, every minute.
Static air cushions distribute weight evenly across a surface. Useful, but they don’t change the pressure on any single point. The moment you stop moving, they stop helping. The Ease Cushion uses alternating pressure: cells inflate and deflate in a wave, lifting and shifting the load up to 60 times per hour. Movement is what restores blood flow.
Yes, gently. Most users describe it as a soft, soothing rhythm, similar to a slow massage. The Gen 2 pump was redesigned to feel like a subtle phone vibration, which is why many users now run it in offices, vehicles, and church without anyone noticing. You can also adjust both firmness and cycle speed in the app.
The Ease Cushion Gen 2 ships in four sizes: S 16x16, M 18x18, L 20x20, XL 22x22. As long as your seat is within an inch of these dimensions, it works for the vast majority of users. If the fit isn’t right, exchanges and returns are available within the 30-day trial.
The Ease Cushion is a high-quality medical device designed and built in the USA, with as much domestically sourced material as possible. Engineering, regulatory compliance, and manufacturing standards add real cost, and we won’t compromise on quality. We sell direct to keep the price as low as we can. Compared to the average $70,000 cost of treating a single Stage 3 to 4 pressure sore, $899 is a fraction.
Yes. Shop Pay Installments and PayPal Pay Later are both available at checkout, typically 3, 6, or 12 months at 0% APR with Shop Pay (no late fees, service fees, or hidden fees). Eligibility checks won’t affect your credit. APR depends on creditworthiness.
The damage starts before you feel it.
Two hours of stillness. That’s all it takes for tissue to begin dying. You know this now. The only question left is what you do next.
