Your Questions Answered
Straight answers to the questions people ask us most about wheelchair cushions.
Why do I need a specialist wheelchair cushion?
A standard cushion soon flattens. A specialist cushion spreads your weight, helps protect your skin and supports a better sitting posture, which matters if you sit for long periods.
Which type of cushion is right for me?
Foam cushions are simple and stable, gel and contoured cushions add positioning support, and air cushions give the highest level of pressure relief. The right one depends on your skin, posture and how long you sit.
What size cushion do I need?
Match the cushion to the seat width and depth of your wheelchair. Measure the seat itself, not the old cushion, and ask us if you're between sizes.
Can you help me choose?
Yes. Call 01789 339 738 and tell us about your chair and your needs, or book a free home assessment if you're also looking at a wheelchair.
Can I get VAT relief on a cushion?
If you have a long-term illness or disability and it's for your own personal use, you may be able to buy qualifying products without paying VAT. Just ask us and we'll help you with the simple declaration.
