gel pad

Soft cooling cushion

A gel pad is a cushion filled with gel, typically silicone or polymer-based, used for comfort or support.

Gel pads absorb pressure and distribute weight, appearing in wrist rests for keyboards, seat cushions, shoe insoles, and medical applications like wound care or cold compresses.

The gel conforms to body contours: These gel pads made my heels stop hurting.
