Question
We have a couple ACS gel cushions w/insert and the top fabric is flimsy and tears easily. Is the 26102DGEVR made of the same fabric?

Answer

Dear Pat:

26102DGEVR is made by a different company.  However, it would be difficult for us to qualify the quality of one fabric vs the other.  You may want to consider ordering one gel cushion to see if you like it.
