ISO Results
The graphs below illustrate the results of rigorous testing conducted at the University of Pittsburgh to ISO standard.
The difference in surface temperature and humidity after a period of 3 hours use between the WheelAir Cushion and a number of similar products available on the market is staggering.
The other six cushions in the sample were three cushion models tested with two different covers – a standard stretch cover and a microclimate management cover (“w/MCM”). See a full breakdown here and here.
As you can see, the ActivCair cushion maintains a far lower level of humidity and surface temperature when subjected to the same conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ActivCair wheelchair cushion?
ActivCair is a low-profile, 3D-printed wheelchair cushion that combines a flexible lattice structure with optional WheelAir active airflow technology. Designed to help manage heat and moisture while supporting everyday comfort, it is available in 27 sizes, with single-density or multi-density options and configurations with or without WheelAir integration.
How does ActivCair help manage heat and moisture?
ActivCair uses an open 3D-printed lattice structure to encourage air movement around the seated surface. When paired with the WheelAir ventilation system, active airflow helps move warm, humid air away from the user, supporting microclimate management. This can be particularly relevant for wheelchair users who experience heat and moisture build-up during prolonged sitting.
What is the difference between single-density and multi-density ActivCair cushions?
The single-density option uses one consistent material density throughout the cushion, while the multi-density option incorporates different densities in selected areas. This provides additional flexibility when configuring the cushion to meet individual comfort and support requirements. A seating professional can help determine which option is most appropriate for the user.
What sizes and configurations are available for ActivCair?
ActivCair is available in 27 sizes and one low-profile contour. Users can choose between single-density and multi-density construction, with or without WheelAir integration. These options provide up to 108 potential configurations, allowing the cushion to be selected according to the wheelchair dimensions and the user’s seating requirements.
Why is the ActivCair cushion designed with a low profile?
The low-profile design helps make transfers into and out of the wheelchair easier by limiting the additional height introduced by the cushion. It can also suit active wheelchair users who need practical seating that supports movement and everyday activities. The appropriate cushion height should still be selected with consideration for positioning, stability, comfort and the wheelchair’s overall setup.
