The Java Cushion offers enhanced sitting performance without the need for regular fit-essential maintenance — unlike the ongoing adjustments required to maintain fluid or air volumes in competitive cushion designs. Ride’s approach redistributes the forces of pressure and shear from high risk anatomic areas while selectively applying the forces to areas more tolerant. We recommend purchasing a spare cover with all cushion purchases.
