Check out our FAQ's below...
1. Why do wheelchair users need a cushion?
A wheelchair cushion provides essential support and comfort, helping to prevent pressure sores and improve posture. The added cushioning helps to distribute weight evenly, reducing strain on the body and minimizing discomfort from prolonged sitting. Cushions also aid in maintaining spinal alignment and can help reduce back pain, promoting overall well-being and independence for wheelchair users.
2. What types of wheelchair cushions do you offer?
We offer a variety of wheelchair cushions designed to enhance comfort and support, including:
- ActiveX™ Back Support Cushion: Provides lumbar and posture support to maintain the natural curvature of the spine.
- ActiveX™ Coccyx Wedge Cushion: Designed to relieve coccyx pain and improve posture by reducing pressure on the tailbone.
- ActiveX™ Donut Ring Cushion: Offers pressure relief and comfort, particularly beneficial for individuals with hemorrhoids or post-surgery discomfort.
- ActiveX™ Lumbar Cushion: Delivers superior back support, promoting proper spinal alignment.
- ActiveX™ Posture Wedge Cushion: Aids in back pain relief and improves posture by encouraging a forward tilt of the pelvis.
3. How do I choose the right wheelchair cushion for my needs?
To ensure a proper fit, start by measuring the seat width and depth of your wheelchair. Choose a cushion that matches or slightly exceeds these dimensions to provide full support and comfort. Each product page includes specific measurements to help you select the correct size.
4. Are your wheelchair cushions adjustable?
While our cushions are designed to provide optimal support as is, some models feature adjustable components:
- ActiveX™ Back Support Cushion: Includes adjustable straps to secure the cushion in place and accommodate different chair sizes.
- ActiveX™ Lumbar Cushion: Comes with an adjustable strap to ensure a snug fit on various seating surfaces.
Specific adjustment features are detailed on each product page.

Detailed material information is available on each product page.
