Ride Forward Wheelchair Cushion

Ride Designs Forward Cushion

Ride Designs Forward cushion is a polyurethane foam cushion that provides a comfortable and supportive seating experience for people with mild to moderate postural problems and sensory issues. The cushion's viscoelastic top layer forms supportive contours around the pelvis, decreasing strain on at-risk bony prominences and increasing postural control without sacrificing skin protection. It is effective for children who are growing and developing, as well as those suffering from stroke, brain injury, incomplete SCI, and the elderly.

The Forward cushion's unique form keeps the hips level and positioned near the rear of the chair, offering more stability and movement. Ride's innovative contoured base promotes and controls proper posture and balance. The cushion can be further customized by adding CAM wedges to match specific demands.

The outside cover of the cushion is made of spacer fabric, which allows air to circulate between the sitter and the cushion, keeping the skin cool and dry. It is made of common materials but has a unique design that helps to control skin risk consistently across a wide temperature range while also managing heat and moisture.

The Forward cushion is skin-safe when cold or warm, providing nearly consistent performance across a wide temperature range. The cushion's unique form keeps the hips level and positioned toward the rear of the chair for increased stability and mobility, while the outer fabric allows air to flow, keeping skin cooler and drier.
