Open grid cushions are gaining attention for good reason. People want better airflow, pressure relief, and durability.
SP1KE™ technology sets a new standard. It is engineered, patented, and scalable across industries.
This article explains the engineering behind SP1KE™ in simple terms.
What Is SP1KE™ Technology?
SP1KE™ is a patented open grid cushioning system.
It is developed and distributed globally by Vigurus Technologies Inc.
Unlike foam or gel, SP1KE™ uses structure, not softness, to manage load.
The system is based on Tips and Mesh geometry.
Each tip responds to pressure.
The mesh spreads force across the surface.

Biomimicry in Structural Cushion Design
Why Biomimicry Matters
Biomimicry means learning from nature.
The human body manages force through structure, not padding.
Skin, muscle, and connective tissue all adapt to movement and load.
SP1KE™ applies this same idea to cushion design.
Tips and Mesh Explained Simply
- Tips respond where pressure occurs
- The mesh connects each tip
- Load spreads in all directions
This creates a surface that adapts instead of collapsing.
The cushion stays supportive, even during long use.
Patented Cushion System With Global Protection
SP1KE™ is not a visual pattern.
It is a protected engineering system.
The technology includes:
- 46 utility patent allowances
- 21 active granted patents worldwide
These patents protect how the system works, not just how it looks.
This makes SP1KE™ difficult to copy and reliable to scale.

Load Redirection Science Explained
The Problem With Traditional Cushions
Foam and gel compress straight down.
Over time, they lose shape and support.
This creates pressure points and heat buildup.
How SP1KE™ Redirects Load
SP1KE™ manages force in three dimensions.
When weight is applied:
- Tips compress locally
- The mesh moves load sideways
- Energy spreads instead of concentrating
This reduces pressure and improves comfort.

Materials That Support the Structure
SP1KE™ uses advanced closed-cell EVA foams.
These materials are:
- Hydrophobic
- Lightweight
- Durable
- Non-absorbent
This supports airflow and hygiene.
The material works with the geometry, not against it.
Licensing and Scalability Across Industries
SP1KE™ is a technology platform.
It is not limited to one product.
The same system can be used in:
- Seating
- Insoles
- Medical cushions
- Transportation
- Protective equipment
Vigurus licenses SP1KE™ for partners who want patented performance.
Why SP1KE™ Sets a New Standard
SP1KE™ combines:
- Biomimetic design
- Patent protection
- Structural load management
- Scalable manufacturing
It goes beyond comfort.
It manages how the body interacts with surfaces.
