Is this cushion good for someone who sits in a wheelchair all day? My husband is wheelchair bound, cannot walk.

I like the cushion on my wheelchair to raise me up...thus making it easier to get out of the chair and into the car, it is comfortable for me. The longest I have used it has been a five hour stretch.....(I use a power chair at home) But for all day I cannot say.

I was not impressed with the foam density of this cushion. I'm 210lbs and I just sank down to the hard board. Used it for a while but always with another cushion. Much happier with the Hermell Products Hip Cushion, 6-Inch. Good dense foam that does not allow me to sink but is also giving enough to be comfortable while seated for long periods. It does keep you raised which is great if you have longer legs.

This was never used all day. My husband weighted about 170 lbs but would use it for hours at a time. Possibly as long as 5-6 hours. But to use all day perhaps not. It was certainly more comfortable for him than without a cushion.

Yes. it should be fine. Just be sure that the wheelchair seat is big enough for the cushion as it is rather large.

Hello Claire - I don't think this would be a good choice. I think he'd want a cushion with memory foam and pretty thick. This cushion is not that firm on one side; the other side is a hard board. I suggest you find a medical supply company. Try www.americandiabeteswholesale.com or www.feelgoodstore.com . Cinda

I suggest 4" which I sat on after hip surgery; first in the wheelchair, then on any low chairs/sofa for months until I was stronger. It has an attached sturdy strap to use or not, and a zippered cover. This cushion stays comfortably firm. I recommend it

No, the cushion is not inflatable. The cushion comes naturally about an inch and a half thick, padded. Good for air too pass through, leaving an option to put in a cusion, or blanket of your own.

I have carpal tunnel and arthritis. I use mine for travel. That said it does provide a little extra cushioning, but not anymore than my Black Mat

I am using this cushion on my office chair. I sit all day and I'm "plus size". I don't know exactly how long I've had it (at least 6 weeks) and it has maintained a good level of firmness. It has added height (slight lift). If you want guaranteed lift in height for a long drive, I would definitely say yes, it will hold up for a long drive. I am sorry, but can't give you a good guess on how much height you'll gain. You'll be pleased with the firmness holding up, but not sure it will give you the height in inches you are seeking since that depends on how low your car seat currently rests.

This cushion is very nice foam, not too firm, but contours the back for nice support. I use it as lumbar support at home in my recliner. I even took it on a 13hr. flight to Hawaii and it was wonderful. I have had it for awhile now and if it disappeared tomorrow, I'd buy another. Hope this helps.

I bought the cushion as a back pillow and it provided the best relief ever, however it did develop a leak after about 5-6 months and therefore I would hesitate to use it as a seat cushion unless you don't mind replacing it more often as needed. Again, it does give great relief.

Kevin, I bought this for my mom to use with her wheelchair. It may work for you in your car as it is pretty comfortable and fairly thick. The only issue may be if your seat slants back. Since the cushion is all one thickness, your tailbone may be too low and the top of our thighs may be too high. It would all depend on what part of you might feel tired or uncomfortable after being in the car for a while. If you are able to adjust your seat though as I can with mine, it might work. It would definitely add cushioning and relieve pressure on your tailbone.

The cushion is made of 100% polyurethane foam - it does retain it's original form if you would briefly stand on it - remember, its purpose is a foot rest.

NO! As I stated this cushion needs major improvements for the ultimate comfort in mind. Since it is too hard by itself, this cushion would greatly benefit from both top & bottom layers of thick latex memory foam as well as a strong but soft cloth cover! DO NOT BUY!

The cushion is 3" and it works fantastic. I bought it for someone that spends a lot of time in a wheelchair after suffering a stroke and it is the best pad on the market, for the price. I highly recommend it.

I used this product with my walker; doubt that you could use this with a wheelchair. Might be possible with some creative adjustments to product?

I do not have this cushion any longer. I bought a Roho cushion and they are pricy but wonderful.

You might want to take a look at the YouTube Video on how to clean The ROHO wheelchair cushion. To wash the cushion is very easy. See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShYZCrbhqWo

My father in law uses on of these on his wheelchair and loves it (it was specifically recommended by his doctor). The thickness of this pad will lift you up an inch or two, so if you're tall and have problems with headroom in the car, be alerted.

Yes. This cushion is great.You can actually view and listen to set up instructions in the Internet in addition to the instructions inside the package.
