JAY Lite Cushion

The JAY Lite cushion is Sunrise Medical's historic lightweight foam wheelchair cushion for Brampton and the Greater Toronto Area. The owner's manual rates it at 250 lbs (113 kg). Sunrise Medical's current US and Canada cards both print that this product is no longer available to order.

If you already use a Lite, we can still talk through covers, leftover stock, and a current path. The current lightweight JAY is the JAY LitePro Cushion (2 lbs / 0.9 kg and 2 inches / 51 mm on the live card). The foam steps we still sell include the JAY GO and the JAY Ion.

Who this cushion is for

The JAY Lite cushion was written for a person who wanted a light foam cushion with airflow in the cover. The owner's manual sets a 250 lb maximum. A seating therapist should confirm any leftover Lite against current Ion, GO, or LitePro before you replace it.

• Lightweight foam base with an OptiWell / PLA insert
• Microclimatic outer cover
• 250 lb (113 kg) rating in the owner's manual

Foam well and cover

The JAY Lite cushion used a contoured foam base and a pelvic-loading-area foam insert. Sunrise printed a microclimatic cover with spacer fabric for airflow. Monthly wipe-down of the foam and a machine-washable cover were the care line. Do not soak the foam.

Funding help for a wheelchair cushion or back support in Ontario

This cushion or back support is an ADP positioning device category item. Ontario's Assistive Devices Program (ADP) can fund 75% of the cost of positioning devices such as cushions and back supports when they are prescribed through an assessment by an ADP-registered occupational therapist or physiotherapist with an eligible mobility device, and some income-support programs cover the full cost. Not every product qualifies, so talk to us before you buy. March of Dimes Canada, Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC), and community programs can also help. Westin Healthcare's staff work with these programs every week and will point you to the right route for your situation. Visit our funding page or call (905) 451-7743 to talk it through.

Sunrise Medical JAY warranty

The JAY Lite owner's manual prints 24 months on the cushion and 6 months on the outer cover, for the original purchaser. Punctures, tears, and burns sit outside that term. Sunrise notes that Canadian terms can follow provincial funding rules. We handle the warranty claim with you on units we sold.
