A Comfortable Cushion: WheelChair Cushions In All Shapes And Sizes

June 24, 2011 - PRLog -- Top Mobility, leaders of online retail for wheelchair and powerchair accessories, is proud to announce the sell of numerous wheelchair cushions and wheelchair cushion accessories.  Neglecting the wheelchair cushion can be hazardous to the health because a good cushion does so much for the body.  A good cushion helps the user develop better posture, for one.  On the other, it relieves pressure.  Many people that ride wheelchairs need adequate pressure relief to relieve the aches and joints in the bones.  Without good pressure relief it can build in the body and cause more harm. Because no one ever knows how long one will be riding on the wheelchair it is important to invest in a chair or chairs that can maintain a high level of comfort at all times.  However, a main proponent to determining the comfort of the chair is the cushion itself.

Technology has made it possible for different kinds of seats to be made to help fit the user’s comfort level.  It makes no difference what age or body condition the user is in, there is a wheelchair cushion that is good for use. Today, there are many to choose from:

Foam Cushions – Many wheelchairs come standard with foam cushions.  Replaceable foam cushions are available and the benefits are wonderful.  A foam cushion can easily shape itself to the contours of the user’s bottom making it more comfortable to sit on for longer periods of time.  Foam is also a softer fabric that lasts longer. They are more easily replaced as well.

Air Cushion – Not made with just air, the air cushion distributes the weight evenly amongst the seat, giving it a bouncier seating experience.  This is made possible by the interconnecting air cells. These wheelchair cushions help the user maintain a good back or helps a user rehab their back.  They are also better at absorbing shock than other types of seats.  It produces a soothing, massage effect after a while.

Gel Cushions – Gel cushions are made from the same material that is made for gel inserts in shoes.  This technology not only provides comfort, but it provides relief for patients who have ulcers or hemorrhoids.  It is less likely that users will develop sores with the gel cushions.

Special Application Cushions – While these do not go onto the wheelchair themselves, they do go on things users will sit on throughout the course of the day on a daily basis.  In this regard there are wheelchair cushions and cushions for the bathroom seat – and everything in between.

There are many cushion and cushion accessories from which to choose.  The selection may be overwhelming but the professionals at Top Mobility are highly skilled individuals who have the knowledge to provide users with the right cushion.

Finding the right wheelchair cushion will help users enjoy their rides daily and it will take them a long way in regards to their rehab.
