The 3″ Foam Wheelchair Cushion is an essential comfort and safety accessory designed for individuals who require more substantial support than a standard 2-inch cushion can provide. With an extra inch of high-density foam, this cushion offers deeper immersion, which helps to further distribute body weight and reduce the risk of “bottoming out” against the hard seat of a wheelchair.
Key Features & Benefits
Enhanced Pressure Redistribution: The 3-inch thickness allows for better contouring to the user’s body, effectively spreading out pressure and helping to prevent the formation of Stage I pressure sores.
Superior Comfort: Constructed from high-resiliency, medical-grade foam that retains its shape over time, providing a consistent and comfortable seating surface for several hours of use.
Stabilizing Support: The increased height provides a more stable base, helping to improve the user’s posture and prevent slouching or sliding while seated.
Durable Moisture-Proof Cover: Comes with a removable, fluid-resistant cover that protects the foam core from incontinence and spills. The cover is typically made of low-shear fabric to protect the skin from friction.
Secure Attachment: Features a non-slip bottom and adjustable safety straps to ensure the cushion remains firmly attached to the wheelchair frame during movement and transfers.
