XLella Bariatric Cushion Range
Purpose-designed bariatric cushion range for sizes 22″ and above
Purpose-designed bariatric cushion range for sizes 22″ and above, with a robust design, refined shaping for larger users, and a sturdy foam construction. The range is available in Vigour and Classic styles.
The bariatric population presents specific seating challenges. Positioning the pelvis in neutral may not be possible because excessive soft tissue limits the ability to control the position of the pelvis and spine, therefore, it is essential to provide adequate pressure distribution and relief, heat and moisture control, and ultimately, comfort.
The excessive adipose tissue in the gluteal region (gluteal shelf) can also prevent bariatric users from sitting with adequate spinal support, which can contribute to back pain. Offering solutions to accommodate the unique posterior shape created by this redundant tissue is paramount.
XLella bariatric range consists of back supports and cushions, which span from 22” to 28” width, with options for custom items up to 32”. For sizes 21″ and below, these are available in our regular Spex cushion range.
The XLella cushions provide an off-the-shelf solution, with integrated adjustability and adaptability for potential changing needs. These are available in two different styles to meet the individual requirements and body shapes of the user, XLella Vigour Standard Contour and the XLella Classic (available in both Standard and High Contour). Both models are transport certified and have a weight capacity of up to 225kg.
Width | Cushion Height | Weight Capacity | Trough Height | Product Weight (22″ x 22″) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
22″-28″ | 3.75″ | 225kg | 30mm (Standard Contour) 50mm (High Contour) | 2.9kg (Classic Standard Contour) |

A refined fit
Constructa cushions match the body's contours, thanks to adjustments aligned with our anatomy.
Performance under pressure
The entire cushion was designed to manage pressure. The invertible positioning blocks provide the foundation for a supportive yet immersive cushion, while the ischial well blends without any firm edges for ultimate comfort. The Thigh and Trochanter Blocks have a dual-layer construction using medium and firm foams. 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.
Sleeker appearance
Stylish covers fit the cushion without limiting adjustment, while also making cleaning and maintenance easy.
