Moulding and Supportive Filling
Etac LeanOnMe Cushions are filled with a granulated foam that's specially designed to allow limbs to comfortably sink and then be held in the desired position. It also has elastic properties that allow the pillow to repeatedly bear weight, absorb and redistribute pressure.

It's waterproof and easy to wipe clean with a disinfectant solution, making it ideal for patients with incontinence issues. The inside of the cover also features quilted fabric for comfort.
Prefer a Softer Pillow Cover?
While the pillow cover that is supplied with this cushion priorities hygiene and easy cleaning, the same model cushion is also available with a soft touch cover.
Specialised Support For Small Body Parts
This miniature model of the Etac LeanOnMe is is designed to give close support to small body parts. Ankles, undersides of knees and hands can be hard to support with larger pillows because of their size and the LeanOnMe Mini is a fantastic solution.
Fill in Gaps Between Larger Positioning Cushions and Mattress
When using a larger positioning cushion for support, there can be gaps between it and a bed or chair. This is particularly common if the pillow is not lying flat or the patient is resting at an angle. The Etac Mini can fill gaps like these, without comprising the soothing support that the larger pillow is providing.
Can Also Help Relax Patients and Reduce Anxiety
Enclosing a patient in positioning cushions can gently stimulate their sense of touch to help with agitation and reduce anxiety and anger.
