The #1 nurse-recommended gel cushion to prevent pressure sores without constant repositioning or missed sleep.

Discover the science behind the only cushion engineered for pressure sore prevention — not just cushioning.

Over 126,000 caregivers have already replaced their flat foam and donut cushions with this medical-grade solution, backed by wound care nurses, designed to 'float' the tailbone and redistribute pressure evenly.

Most seniors sit for 6+ hours a day putting their skin at serious risk of developing a pressure sore.

This isn't a chair problem. It's a pressure distribution problem.

And a properly engineered gel cushion can do more for your parent or spouse than a $2,000 recliner or overpriced foam cushion ever will.

My name is Marie Chen. I'm a registered wound care nurse, with 3 decades of experience in senior care, living in Austin, Texas. And after years of recommending seating solutions to patients, I've found one that's genuinely different — one tested in a controlled lab with clinical-grade pressure mapping.

Over 126,000 of these cushions have been sold, and it's called MediGel by Westlyn.

For most families I meet, it never starts with a red mark.

It starts with them shifting in their chairs, side to side, trying to get comfortable. They become less social over time – leaving the dinner table early, refusing to visit friends, skipping church service – as the pain shrinks their world.

Then one morning or evening at bath time, you notice it.

A red patch that won't fade.

So you check their skin every day. You start repositioning them every 2 hours. You lie awake wondering if it's going to get worse (by the time I'm called in, it's opened up to reveal fat or bone).

From there, it becomes a daily struggle to heal the skin. Constant repositioning, wound care nurses 3x a week, and a wardrobe filled with expensive cushions that didn't work.

I've helped over 3,000 caregivers across America.

I specialize in pressure sore prevention and treatment, particularly the stubborn ones that keep coming back because nobody addressed why the wounds were appearing in the first place.

I've treated a stage 4 pressure injury (one that goes to the bone) and thought, this didn't have to happen. That's why I'm writing this.

"The MediGel seat cushion is particularly well-designed... It provides medical-grade support, reduces pressure on bony prominences, and promotes blood flow that prevents skin cells from breaking down.

For patients with limited mobility, this gel cushion may offer meaningful support and protection against pressure injuries."

— Marie Chen, R.N.

And here's what most families don't realize: the chair isn't the problem. It's how your body weight is distributed on it.

Standard flat seats force 100% of your body weight onto your tailbone and coccyx — the most pressure-sensitive bone in your body.

Every hour, compression builds. Over time, that pressure closes off blood supply to the skin, and skin starts to break down.

The five ways this cushion prevents pressure sores.

If your loved one is at risk of pressure sores, the cause is mechanical. And the solution is changing how pressure hits their body when they sit.

1. Eliminates Pressure At The Source

As you age, skin loses 70% of its thickness – especially around the bottom.

On top of that, the fat and muscle shrink too. So when a senior sits, their entire upper body weight drives directly into the coccyx and sit bones. That's roughly 60-70% of their body weight concentrated on an area smaller than a credit card.

Pressure then closes blood flow to the skin, and skin starts to break down. By the time you see a red mark, the damage has been building for weeks.

How MediGel fixes it: The U-shaped tailbone relief channel creates an open void directly beneath their coccyx. Their tailbone never touches a hard surface. What's more, MediGel has 800+ honeycomb gel columns that buckle sideways to redistribute pressure under the sit bones.

The end result is that blood supply to the skin stays open. Pressure sores never have a chance to form and if one exists, it helps speed up their recovery.

2. No More Constant Repositioning

Most caregivers are told to reposition every two hours but that's not always realistic, especially if you're at work or out. Plus, it's hard on YOUR back to shift their weight all the time.

How MediGel fixes it: It's a passive redistribution system that supports them continuously so your loved one can sit comfortably and safely for hours without needing to reposition.

Less disruption for both of you. Less anxiety weighing down your mind.

3. Never Flattens or 'Bottoms Out'

Most foam cushions compress after weeks of continued use, which puts your parent or spouse at risk of developing pressure sores.

How MediGel fixes it: It's engineered from medical-grade gel that springs back to its original shape after every use.

Press it and watch it bounce back instantly. That's protection you can trust years from now.

4. Keeps Skin Cool and Dry (Prevents Moisture Damage)

Pressure sores don't just come from pressure—moisture from sweat or incontinence accelerates skin breakdown.

How MediGel fixes it: The open honeycomb design promotes airflow, keeping skin cooler and drier.

Plus, the machine-washable cover makes cleanup simple. Less moisture means less bacteria or chance for skin to tear with movement.

5. Promotes Faster Skin Healing

Once a pressure sore forms, every hour your parent sits is working against it.

The wound can't heal if the same pressure keeps reopening it from the inside.

How MediGel fixes it: MediGel removes that pressure entirely, giving damaged skin the conditions it needs to finally repair itself.

Full peace of mind for you and your parent.

What real pressure redistribution actually looks like

Most people think soft means safe. That's simply not true. True pressure-relief redistributes weight across a sitting surface – it doesn't absorb it.

When a senior sits for hours a day:

1. Pressure concentrates on tailbone and sit bones - closing blood flow to skin.

2. Skin begins to break down – sores open up.

3. Damage is silent – the skin is already breaking down weeks or months before you even see a red mark.

MediGel is engineered to fix this pressure problem at the source.

It's not just a gel seat cushion. It's a pressure correction system in a single seat cushion.

Is this for you? (If you're a caregiver, the answer is yes)

👴 Limited Mobility

Your loved one sits 8–10 hours a day. If they're getting up less, or can't shift easily this is for them. MediGel eliminates the pressure causing these sores so they can sit for hours without skin breakdown.

💊 Parkinson's

Parkinson's changes the way you sit. Natural adjustments healthy people do automatically – like crossing or uncrossing legs, shifting left to right – slow down as the disease progresses. MediGel is designed to relieve the pressure for them.

⚡️ Stroke

A stroke can cause weakness or paralysis on one side of the body. This can make it harder to shift weight or change sitting positions. MediGel relieves the pressure that closes blood flow to the skin.

🩸 Diabetes

High blood sugar can damage nerves and reduce sensation. That means a diabetic person may not feel pain or pressure when sitting for too long. MediGel keeps the pressure off even when they can't feel it.

🏥 Home From the Hospital

2.2 lbs, fits in a wheelchair, car or home recliner. That keeps them protected from discharge through home recovery.

🚗 Doctor Visits & Car Rides

Your parent, spouse, or loved one is in pain. They won't buy it themselves. Multi-pack pricing lets you outfit every chair in their life.

🧠 Living with Dementia

A person with dementia can sit in the same position for long periods without realizing they need to move. MediGel keeps the pressure off and prevents sores from forming in the first place.

♿️ The Wheelchair User

Clinical-grade pressure redistribution. Nurse recommended for wound prevention. Medical-level performance at a fraction of the cost of Roho.
