ACTION Commuter Cushion

The Action Commuter is an entry-level pressure and shear-reducing wheelchair cushion from Action Products, designed to give users at low risk of skin breakdown a comfortable, affordable, low-maintenance option. It is constructed from a thinner combination of Akton viscoelastic polymer (1.27cm) layered over foam (4.45cm), sealed within a waterproof film for protection against incontinence and spills. The Akton polymer promotes even pressure distribution across the seating surface, helping to reduce localised pressure points, while the foam beneath adds cushioning comfort and absorbs shock, vibration, and impact during everyday use and transport over uneven surfaces. The waterproof internal sealing sits within a breathable outer cover, and the base of the cushion is non-slip to help keep it securely in place on the wheelchair seat. As a solid gel-polymer and foam cushion, the Commuter requires no inflation, pumping, or daily adjustment, and will not leak or deflate over time, which makes it a practical, low-fuss choice for everyday users, carers, and facilities managing multiple wheelchairs. It is best suited to individuals who do not have an established pressure injury history but want a step up in comfort and basic pressure care over a standard foam-only cushion, at a more accessible price point than higher-specification cushions in the Action range such as the Pilot or Professional.
