Cushions, seats and backrests

This section includes seating and back supports designed to be used with a wheelchair.  Some may provide pressure relief, others are designed to increase comfort.

Cushions and wedges are designed to provide comfort and a degree of support. They may be foam or fibre filled, some may be fleece covered, and some may be moulded or adjustable to suit individual postural support. They are intended for use with the existing seat and/or backrest in place,.

Cushions and boards to provide a stable seating area may have a crescent-shaped base intended to level the sag or hammocking of a canvas wheelchair backrest or seat. 

Replacement seating and backrests fully replace the existing seat and/or backrest. This may be to allay the effects of seat hammocking and create a firm base for wheelchair cushions or other wheelchair seating systems, to provide firmer sitting support, or to have a particular function.

Cushions and backrests should properly fit the wheelchair and suit the purpose for the user.
