Most people don't stay in a wheelchair long as there disability could be temporary or it's required while resting from an operation. So a used wheelchair could be a good investment or bargain for someone else.
As there stay is short lived in a wheelchair often the used wheelchair will remain in good condition. As people mainly use the wheelchair for a few days then buying a used wheelchair could be worth the investment.
The first thing you need to do is sit down and take the measurements of your wheelchair. There is not a standard size that all foam wheelchair cushions come in, but rather a vast variety of different sizes that range from 15 inches by 15 inches to 20 inches by 20 inches. Make sure you know the size of your wheel chair so that you can find a foam wheelchair cushion that will fit.
After that you can also get a memory foam wheelchair back cushion. These will conform to your body shape and stay there. Lastly you can get an air filled back cushion. Depending on your needs and price range any of these types can be viable.
Low profile foam wheelchair cushions are around two inches in thickness and are ideal for the more active individual. Foam wheelchair cushions that are contoured provide more support then the low profile, but not as much as the high profile. They are far less restricting then high profile cushions and can be used by more active individuals regularly.
Once you have found the material that you want your wheelchair cushion cover made from you are now ready to pick out the style you want it in. I would go with something a little bit on the dark side as it has a tendency to not fade out as much as something that is lighter. In addition.
The next type, wheelchair air cushion, can provide and extreme amount support and increased blood flow for longer periods of use. These are best used when movement is minimal and extra support is needed.
So you life has just become simper, just roll up to the lift and press the level and you can enter your vehicle and no need people to help. - 23802
