Jay J2 Cushion

construction & reliability

none at this time.

56 years old. Spina bifida.

Spreads the pressure and therefore releaves the pressure point. Still provides stability.

The cushion is six pounds. A little on the heavy side.

john c. from smithtown, ny

54 year old male, T-7 paraplegia in 1979. First time pressure sore.

Ease of use and safety

Needs a cover right from the initial purchase.

barbara c. from seattle, wa (caregiver)

Mother is 95 and in a wheelchair most of the time. Great cushion for not getting ulcers and comfortable. She says "I feel secure sitting on this one."

Easily cleaned. Gel squishes into the right place for support.

The gel is not enough under the thighs to give adduction support. We really didn't want to have a large hump in the middle of the foam base, but having more gel under the thigh area would give enough control and comfort.

Not provided

The downside of this product is that the gel part does bust. Therefore the entire cushion must be replaced.

maira r. from bell gardens, ca (caregiver)

The person using this item is a paraplegic.This item was prescibed for her to provide more comfort and prevent any sores.

This product enables me to function sitting a greater number of hours than the cushion I had before. It is comfortable and the right size for me.

Every few years the J2 cushion needs o be replaced, because the gel gets less resilient.

susanne q. from palm harbor, fl

I am a 69 year old polio survivor having been disabled since 1959. I need the J2 cushion when I am sitting in my motorized scooter. I cannot stand.

After almost dying some years ago due to complications of a pressure ulcer, J2 has made all the difference… no more sores. It also helps a lot with posture and it stays like new forever, at least for light weighted users (90 pounds).

Price. At least for me, being a Mexican who earns Pesos, this cushion is a bit expensive. It helps looking at it not as an expense but as an investment...

maria adriana v. from monterrey, n.l. , mexico (caregiver)

21 years old female, born with T8 myelomeningocele. Second J2 I buy. First one, after 4 years of use, was like new but it got lost.

Comfort, quality.

None.

peggy m. from los alamos, nm

Independent, post-polio, nonambulatory, 67 years old.

I have sat on a Jay 2 since 1995 and thanks to the cushion I have maintained skin integrity: with zero skin breakdown.

It's weight

leroy h. from paso robles, ca

I have had an incomplete T-6 SCi since 1995 as the result of a motorcycle accident.

The cushion is easy to transfer on and off. I had the gel overfilled because my butt is very bony. Since using this cushion, I have had no pressure sores.

The gel seperates and I have to keep re-adjusting the gel.

catherine m. from georgtown, de

I'm 54 with Multiple Sclerosis.

Greatly increases the amount of time I can spend in wheelchair. Quality - this is my second J2 cushion. The first lasted for nine years.

None
