When you stand up after sitting for long periods it feels good again because your blood can begin to flow unrestricted again to those muscles. Vibration combined with foam is the enemy to healthy, comfortable sitting.Any source of even the smallest vibrations such as sitting on an airplane, motorcycle, truck or car can accelerate the process of restricting your blood flow to your legs and buttocks. Foam will magnify vibration many hundreds of times. And where does all that vibration end up? It transfers through the foam and directly into your bottom and all the arteries that feed blood to your lower body. Those arteries begin to constrict or get smaller thereby reducing the amount of blood flow.MMost seats are made from foam because it’s very cheap to manufacture. Foam requires more and more load to compress it down farther and farther, getting harder the more you compress it. This applies whether it is regular foam or one of the modern, slow-rebound, body-temperature-sensitive foams. Most important foam all foam transfers and magnifies all vibration which can constrict blood flow. Eventually all foam compresses and sags with time.Chambers filled with air can have their problems too. A change in temperature or altitude can change the firmness of the chamber. You need to be able to pump up or release pressure in order to maintain the firmness you desire. Air chambers can also get punctured like an inter-tube which requires a repair kit. As you shift from side to side there is a slight delay like a water bed which is an unnatural feeling.THE GELTEC SOLUTION:Ultra Soft Polymer Gel That Feels Great and Absorbs 95% of all Vibration! Composed of ultra soft polymer gel, your CrossGel cushion offers you revolutionary seating comfort. CrossGel is extremely strong and durable, yet it will stretch to 10 times its length. But best of all our gel absorbs about 95% of all vibration and that means you can sit comfortably for longer periods of time without restricting your blood flow.Column buckling, an engineering principle incorporated in the CrossGel cushion structure, allows for weight to be shared with neighboring column walls. The cushion design greatly enhances your seating comfort as these column walls are designed to fail or buckle in areas of greatest pressure or pressure points. No other seating material offers such technology. It’s the CrossGel “Technology of Comfort” at work.The unique polymer gel molecular structure allows it to behave differently under pressure than foam, springs, or fibrous material. In foam, the tiny cells compress under pressure. Compressed cells eventually go flat and the foam cushion becomes useless. The CrossGel polymer material and cushion design causes sitting pressure to flow away from areas of greatest pressure, reducing pain and discomfort. The result is greater seating comfort for longer periods of time. The Bottom-Line…a Soft, Comfortable and Healthy Cushion for your bottom!CrossGel offers you a totally new concept in superior cushioning properties because unlike foam or air cushions, this material rebounds 100%. The CrossGel cushion will not stain or stick to surfaces, will not absorb odors or liquids and does not foster bacterial growth. This revolutionary seating product and cover are machine washable and dryable for easy cleaning.
