Unlike gel-foam, spring, and low air-loss mattresses, the PURAP mattress is not compressed and will not try to spring back to its original shape. It fills in uneven body crevices to maximize direct support area.
Our patented, revolutionary 3D flotation technology provides the lowest peak pressures and maintains optimal microclimate temperatures. Our cushion will not 'bottom-out'.
An independent clinical study at Stanford Hospital proved that the PURAP cushion provides lowest peak pressures.

PURAP cushion provides the lowest sitting pressures
"It looks like any other cushion, but there seems to be something in the layering of the materials that makes it work...I ordered this cushion for my Mom who spends a lot of time in her wheelchair and had started to regularly develop a pressure sore right below her tailbone.
She had just developed another sore just before the cushion arrived. This time, with the cushion in place, the sore healed really, really quickly...like within a week. Normally the staff would be nursing it along closer to 2 weeks or more before it would heal and the scab would fall off and then before we knew it another one would develop. It has now been almost a month and no new sore."
"Due to lumbar spinal stenosis I am forced to sleep in a recliner which has resulted in painful sores. I tried foam, air and gel cushions with no relief in sight.
Then I purchased a Purap Cushion and immediately felt relief from the burning pain and within a week the sores were gone. This cushion is a life saver and I recommend it to anyone who needs pain relief. In fact, I ordered a second cushion for my office."

Our patented technology sets us apart
Most 'support surfaces' such as spring, gel-foam, and low air-loss mattresses are compressible, flat, and two dimensional. A compressed material increases pressures because it wants to 'spring' back to its original state.
PURAP, with its revolutionary three dimensional (3D) flotation technology, does not compress, fills in uneven body surfaces to maximize contact and direct support area. The 3D flotation technology evenly supports bony regions of the body and spreads out peak pressures over the whole support area to minimize all pressures.
