"P1" and "P3" aperture are terms commonly used in the context of seating, particularly in reference to the size of the aperture or opening in the seat cushion.

In general, a P3 aperture is smaller than a P1 aperture. The size of the aperture determines the width of the seat and the amount of space available for the user's hips and thighs. 

A smaller aperture, such as a P3, is typically used for smaller individuals or those who require more support and stability in the seat. 

A larger aperture, such as a P1, is typically used for larger individuals or those who require more space and freedom of movement in the seat.
