Supracor Stimulite Classic Wheelchair Cushion - XS & Sling

The Stimulite Classic wheelchair cushion can generally be categorized as a honeycomb cushion due to its honeycomb-like structure. Supracor - the manufacturer of this product - specifies this cushion as follows.

• Approximately 2¾ inches thick
• Approximately 3 pounds
• Machine washable
• Dryer-safe
• The cushion comes with 1 polyester cover
• In the Manufacturer's Own Words

The extra cover option refers to purchasing a Stimulite Classic cushion (with or without the XS and sling options) and the extra polyester cover at the same time (not separately).

Due to Stimulite's perforated open cell structure, buttocks and leg areas adjacent to the cushion benefit from a higher degree of air circulation than is provided by other types of cushions. The associated air circulation assists in the prevention of skin maceration. Note that the use of a non-porous cushion cover countervails the cushion's advantage with regard to air circulation.

The standard version of this cushion lacks the softness of some other cushion types. For this reason, Wheelchair Cushion Sage suggests opting for Supracor's "XS" option. The "XS" option specifies a softer top layer of the honeycomb material.

The Stimulite Classic is suitable for a person with a spinal cord injury (e.g., paraplegia, quadriplegia / tetraplegia), stroke, or other disability that necessitates the person's use of a wheelchair. This cushion may also be helpful to non-disabled individuals whose daily routine involves sitting for prolonged spans of time (e.g., truck drivers, etc.).
