Wheelchair Cushions

When you’re spending long periods of time in your wheelchair, it’s normal to experience some aches, pains, or postural issues. Adding a pressure cushion is a perfect way to support your posture and reduce the risk of pressure sores. Once you’ve felt the added comfort of sitting on a gel wheelchair cushion, you won’t want to go back!

About Our Wheelchair Cushions

CareCo Founder and Innovation Director, Will, says “If you use a wheelchair on a regular basis you'll know that sitting for long periods of time can become uncomfortable and can even cause sores and ulcers, as the sitting position puts a lot of pressure on your lower back”. 

Our wheelchair cushions are the perfect little luxury to make a big difference to your everyday comfort. Cushions can also be helpful for getting you to an ideal height in your wheelchair, whether it’s to make your chair arms a more comfortable height or to be able to reach things around the house or out and about. 

Gel cushions are a brilliant option - the thick filling means that they don’t flatten like regular cushions, so they’ll stay comfortable and supportive for years to come. Ours come in a number of different sizes so you can find something which perfectly fits your wheelchair or powerchair. 

If you’re after something a little more cosy for the winter months, the Gel Comfort Cushions come with an added plush fleece layer for extra comfort. Alternatively, the Wheelchair Pillow Cushion covers all sides of your wheelchair to reduce pressure and friction on your arms and back, too. 

Wheelchair Cushion FAQs

  • Who are wheelchair cushions for?

    Gel pressure cushions can be beneficial for anyone who spends a lot of time seated, and they don’t just have to be used on wheelchairs. Our Occupational Therapist, Natasha Bruce-Jones, says “You don’t have to have a high-pressure risk to use this cushion; prevention is always better than cure. Cushions are an essential part of seated comfort for everyone”. 

  • Can a wheelchair cushion reduce the risk of pressure sores?

    Using a gel cushion can help to reduce the risk of pressure ulcers and alleviate sores. 

  • Do your wheelchair cushions come in different colours?

    Absolutely - we know how important it is that your wheelchair is personalised to you, so our ColourMax Cushion Covers come in a variety of shades to match your chair and your personality!
