Take a look at our top five wheelchair cushions below to find the right one for you.


1. RIPPLE WHEELCHAIR COMFORT SEAT

This ripple wheelchair seat adds extra padding to the base, back, and arms of your wheelchair. Made in Britain with superior quality foam, the contour nodules are designed to reduce pressure, while the extra lumbar support cares for your lower back. This comprehensive design also comes with ribbon fastenings to prevent the cushions from sliding.


2. MEMORY FOAM WHEELCHAIR ARMREST CUSHION (PAIR)

Crafted with high-quality memory foam, this coccyx wedge is the perfect wheelchair cushion for coccyx pain.
