It should be no surprise that a wheelchair traveler needs a suitable wheelchair cushion. We’ve been around long enough for the marketplace to resolve this little seating subject. Why then, hasn’t some company made a single superior cushion model that will simplify the “What cushion do I get” decision? The wheelchair cushion expert – Wheelchair Cushion Sage – provided an answer to this question.

“If you have heard or read that some wheelchair cushions simply will not work for some people, then you got the right information. In fact, no single cushion model available today is an optimal purchase for everyone who needs a wheelchair cushion. The reason for the absence of a one-model-for-everyone superior cushion involves more than diverging personal preferences of colors and fabrics. Even the necessary variety of sizes is not the reason for the many wheelchair cushion options.”

“One good reason for the variety of wheelchair cushion types is related to the variety of human conditions associated with people who use wheelchairs. For example, consider a paraplegic wheelchair basketball player who desires the lightest and thinnest cushion possible. Also consider a high-level quadriplegic whose condition excludes the possibility of independent pressure-relieving movements and whose cushion must provide the absolute maximum protection against pressure sores. The specific materials and technologies that today make possible a superior cushion for the second scenario, do not produce a superior cushion for the first scenario. Given contemporary materials and technologies, a Stimulite Sport cushion may be ideal for the first case, while a J3 cushion or dynamic cushion may be ideal for the second case. These two example conditions highlight some of the real-life differences that currently thwart the existence of a single superior cushion.”

While traveling, you want to consider buying a Waffle Air Cushion for the shower. It can easily be blown up by mouth in seconds and takes up little space in a suitcase when deflated. The Waffle Air Cushion provides a comfortable layer to the hard plastic shower chairs most lodging accommodations offer. Most insurance plans should cover part or all of this cost but can also be bought online through various medical supply dealers.

When traveling, it’s a good idea to bring some compression socks with you, especially if you are flying. These specially created socks are tightly woven to improve blood circulation. They are for men and woman and come as either knee high or thigh high. I’ve only seen them in the color black or white, but others could exist. Some insurance plans do cover these compression socks but can also be found through many medical distribution companies online.
