Matrix Sheet
Customisable Back and Seat Support
What is a Matrix Sheet?
The Matrix Sheet is a complete back and seat support. Benefits include:
- Infinitely adjustable – the perfect shape can be found for each unique user
- Lower prices than like-for-like products
- The only product in the world that enables orthotic spinal correction (over time) in a seat
- Stronger than like-for-like products, meaning you are less likely to need reinforcement / cladding
- Two-ball units make it easier to taper over curves
- Flexible units allow for spasms and can be used for spinal correction over time
- Excellent ventilation because of the gaps between the Matrix pieces, but also covers have ‘open-cell’ foam inside
- Gaps between Matrix pieces make it easier to see through and feel through the Sheet, leading to a better fit for the user
There are three main options:
With purely 2-ball units
With purely 4-ball units
With 2-ball unit zones

Key Features:
1.
Any connector, anywhere in a Matrix system can be flexible or rigid: 4-ball units, 2-ball units and ‘Elbows’
2.
Flexible components for dynamic seating can be used creatively for position, pressure, spasm management and orthotic correction
3.
Based on 15 years experience in Sweden and in the UK – spinal correction is possible with Matrix – the only system in the world that allows this
Soften seat edge, using 4-ball units
Soften lumbar area, using 2-ball units
Soften Axilla edge, using Elbows
Advanced Technique:
This Seat Shell has red flexible parts to allow anterior hinging for corrective spinal support.
Other flexible components (below: left and right) are for pressure / pain reduction during spasm.
The two photos below, show a Client sitting unsupported during a clinical assessment and the far right with a full seat and the ‘Door segment’ closed. Before fitting, the ribs are painfully impacting the pelvis with risk of tissue breakdown in the crease; after fitting, there is significant improvement.
