Pre-contoured Shape
Cooperating with Georgia Tech to study anthropometrics, Axiom cushions have a properly designed pre-contoured shape. The Axiom G and Axiom S feature a mild contoured well that supports the trochanters, transitioning the femurs and enveloping the ischial tuberosities and coccyx for support and stability. Axiom Ps more moderate pre-contoured shape offers additional medial and lateral stability through the leg trough area, while promoting greater envelopment of the ischial tuberosities and coccyx for superior positioning.
- Contoured well shape positions and supports the pelvis
- Trochanter loading areas for widened base of support reducing load on the Ischial Tuberosities
- Back cut front edge
- Rounded rear corners
Surface Tension Reduction
The unique hexagonal foam shapes in the well reduce surface tension and increase envelopment around the ischia and coccyx. Axiom Ss pelvic well was designed with special emphasis on the area that distributes pressure around the tissues supporting the bony prominences. Deeper hexagonal shapes allow for increased immersion and better envelopment. By only using one pleated cover, surface tension is reduced, providing better immersion into the well. Moulded-in hexes

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Axiom S wheelchair cushion?
The Axiom S is a skin protection wheelchair cushion from Ki Mobility, designed to support pressure redistribution, comfort and everyday seating stability. It features a contoured, high-quality polyurethane foam base with specially shaped hexagonal sections that help the cushion adapt to the user’s body. Its design focuses on immersion and envelopment around the sitting bones and coccyx.
How does the Axiom S cushion help with pressure redistribution?
The Axiom S uses deeper hexagonal shapes in its central seating well to reduce surface tension and allow greater immersion around the sitting bones and coccyx. This helps distribute loading over a wider area rather than concentrating it on prominent bony areas. The pre-contoured shape also supports the thighs and hips to promote a stable seated position.
Who may benefit from using the Axiom S cushion?
The Axiom S is designed for wheelchair users who need a skin protection cushion with a focus on immersion and envelopment. It may be appropriate for users who require pressure redistribution alongside a contoured seating surface for everyday support. The most suitable cushion depends on the individual’s posture, skin integrity, mobility and pressure-care needs, so a seating assessment is recommended.
What is the difference between the Axiom S, Axiom G and Axiom P cushions?
The three cushions serve different primary purposes. The Axiom G is a general-use cushion with a pre-contoured shape for everyday comfort and support. The Axiom S places greater emphasis on immersion and envelopment for skin protection. The Axiom P provides additional medial and lateral positioning features to help support stability. A seating professional can help identify the most appropriate option for the user’s needs.
What sizes and features are available for the Axiom S cushion?
The Axiom S is available in widths and depths from 14 to 22 inches (approximately 35.6–55.9 cm). Its overall height is approximately 7.6 cm, and it weighs around 1 kg. The cover features a four-way stretch, water-resistant top layer, a non-slip base and a water-resistant zip to help protect the foam. The manufacturer’s stated maximum user weight is approximately 158.8 kg. Confirm the dimensions and current cover options before ordering.
