What is the difference between the NYOrtho APEX™ Foam Wheelchair Cushion and the standard NYOrtho foam wheelchair cushion?

Both the NYOrtho APEX Foam Wheelchair Cushion and the standard NYOrtho foam wheelchair cushion are foam-only designs. The APEX Foam model uses a higher-density foam construction to provide more uniform seating support and align with the APEX product platform. The standard NYOrtho foam wheelchair cushion uses a medium-density foam construction intended for general foam seating needs within the NYOrtho cushion line.
