The JAY Ion wheelchair cushion is designed with the benefits of skin protection and positioning in a lightweight, comfortable and low-maintenance design. The JAY Ion incorporates an antimicrobial outer cover , a moisture resistant inner cover and a dual layer foam base. The JAY Ion helps to provide pressure and shear reduction which may help reduce the incidence of decubitus ulcers. The cushion is intended to be Comfortable and does not restrict movement, allowing the user to change positions on the cushion. The maximum user weight for this product is 300 lbs. for 14" to 21" widths and 500 lbs. for 22" to 24" widths.

The JAY Ion's inner cover features specially coated anti-wicking seam thread to prevent moisture from wicking through the seam holes. This same type of thread meets US Military specifications. The inner cover also features specially coated Aqua-guard zipper designed to repel moisture. Its zipper uses a reverse coil to lock the fluid resistant coating sections together. Result: the inner foam stays dry and odor free. The inner moisture-resistant polyurethane-coated cover is made with Lycra. This remarkable material allows the cover to easily stretch and conform to the individual's shape. Without the ability to stretch, there is always the potential for surface-tension pressure to develop under the user's ischial tuberosities, which can increase the potential of a tissue breakdown. Because the inner foam is not the only place odors are a problem, the Ion's outer X-static cover is impregnated with silver. Silver helps eliminate bacteria and also binds with ammonia and denatured proteins to accelerate the odor reduction process. X-static silver impregnated fiber fabric is made with pure silver, a naturally occurring element. The firmness of each JAY Ion cushion is determined by the user's width. It makes little sense for a lightweight user to sit on a stiff cushion, or a heavy user to sit on a overly soft cushion. For this reason, narrow JAY Ion cushions are less firm, and wide JAY Ion wheelchair cushions are more firm.
