Performance under pressure

These blocks can be inverted with the firm grey foam at the top to reduce the immersion in a cushion zone, changing the overall pressure distribution of the cushion.

Robust Foam Construction
The XLella Cushions are constructed using higher density foams to ensure the durability and longevity of 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.
