Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right size?
Measure your wheelchair seat width and depth before selecting a size. The first dimension listed is the width (left to right) and the second is the depth (front to back). Choose a cushion that matches or is slightly smaller than your seat dimensions — a cushion that overhangs the seat frame significantly may affect stability.

What is a channeled gel bladder and why does it matter?
A channeled gel bladder contains internal channels that allow gel to flow and redistribute under pressure, while preventing the gel from migrating entirely away from high-load areas. This maintains consistent support across the cushion surface during extended sitting.

How do I clean the cushion?
Remove the cover and spot clean with mild soap and water, or follow the care label instructions on the cover. Do not machine wash the gel bladder or foam base. Allow all components to dry fully before reassembling.

Does the cover stay in place on the wheelchair?
Yes. The cover includes straps that secure the cushion to the wheelchair frame to prevent shifting during use.
