Cushions

A pressure care cushion protects the skin of someone who sits for long periods in a wheelchair, lift chair or day chair. The range includes foam, gel, air cell and hybrid cushions, contoured cushions for postural support and cushions with covers designed for incontinence and infection control.

Match the cushion to the person’s risk level, sitting posture, transfer method and the chair it will go in. Measure the seat width and depth, consider the height the cushion adds and how it affects reaching the floor or table, and check the safe working load. Air cushions need regular checking; foam and hybrid cushions suit people who want lower maintenance.

Thrive Lifecare stocks pressure care cushions at both Tasmanian showrooms and delivers Tasmania-wide, with quotes for NDIS, Home Care Packages and Support at Home, DVA or private purchase. Book a trial to test a cushion in the person’s own chair.
