How to choose the right wheelchair cushion for your needs
Choosing the ideal wheelchair cushion depends on several factors that vary from person to person. Still, there are some important considerations to keep in mind when selecting a cushion for your wheelchair seat:
- Pressure redistribution: Look for cushions designed to redistribute pressure evenly across the seating surface. This helps prevent pressure sores and promotes better circulation. Options include foam, gel, air, or combination cushions.
- Cushion material: Different cushion materials have different benefits. For example, foam cushions provide stability, support, and good pressure care. Gel cushions offer excellent pressure relief and contouring. Consider your individual needs and preferences when choosing your wheelchair cushion.
- Cushion thickness: The cushion thickness affects seat height and overall stability. Ensure your wheelchair cushion provides adequate support while maintaining a comfortable sitting position. Consider the wheelchair's seat depth and height to determine the right thickness.
- Posture and stability: Some cushions offer features like lateral supports, pommels, or contoured shapes to provide better alignment and stability for your specific positioning needs.
- Mobility and activity level: If you have an active lifestyle or engage in activities involving many transfers, you may prefer a lightweight and portable cushion that is easy to transport while also resistant to wear and tear.
- Heat and moisture management: Cushions with breathable covers or moisture-wicking properties can help prevent heat buildup and moisture-related skin issues. This is particularly important if you experience sweating or need extra skin protection.
- Weight capacity: The cushion you choose should suit your weight and meet or exceed the weight capacity specified by the manufacturer. This ensures optimal support and durability.
- Individual preferences: Finally, personal preferences are important. Test different cushions whenever possible or seek recommendations from healthcare professionals and the experienced team at Active Mobility. We can help find the perfect wheelchair seat cushions to ensure you’re comfortable every day.

A wide range of wheelchair seat cushions to choose from
Wheelchair users have an incredible range of seat cushions to choose from at Active Mobility, ranging from foam to gel and materials designed to prevent skin breakdown or irritation. We offer:
- Foam cushions are popular for their affordability and durability. They provide stability, support, and even weight distribution. They come in various densities, allowing for different levels of firmness and contouring — a dual-layered foam cushion is recommended for exceptional comfort.
- Gel cushions use a gel-filled bladder or gel layers to relieve pressure and distribute weight evenly. Gel conforms to the body shape, reducing pressure points and promoting comfort. They are known for their ability to maintain their shape over time.
- Hybrid cushions combine materials like foam and gel to balance stability, support, and pressure relief. These cushions often have a foam base with gel or air inserts to provide targeted pressure redistribution and increased comfort.
- Contour cushions are designed with specific contours or shapes to provide better alignment, stability, and pressure redistribution. They can have contours for the thighs, pelvis, or coccyx, depending on the individual's needs.
- Bariatric cushions are specifically designed to accommodate individuals with higher weight capacities. They are constructed with reinforced materials and offer enhanced support and durability.
- Honeycomb cushions have a series of individual cells that work together to provide support and comfort. These cushions promote airflow, heat dissipation, and pressure redistribution. They are lightweight and suitable for active users.
- Skin protection cushions are specifically designed to prevent pressure sores and promote skin health. They often feature advanced materials or technologies that reduce friction, manage moisture, and provide optimal pressure redistribution.
