A foam cushion is the starting point for most clients who spend part of the day in a wheelchair or a static chair and need a little more comfort and stability than the sling seat gives them. Foam spreads load across the whole seating surface and gives a predictable, firm base to sit on.
Because it has no cells, valves or air to check, a foam cushion is easy for a client or carer to live with: set it in the chair, keep the cover clean and it stays as prescribed. That simplicity suits clients with light pressure risk, shared equipment in a facility, and anyone who struggles to manage a more involved cushion.
