Supracor Stimulite Contoured Wheelchair Cushion - XS & Sling

The Stimulite Contoured wheelchair cushion can generally be categorized as a honeycomb cushion due to its honeycomb-like structure. Supracor - the manufacturer of this product - provides the following details about this cushion.

• Approximately 3 inches thick
• Approximately 3¼ 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 Contoured cushion (with or without the XS and sling options) and the extra polyester cover at the same time (not separately).

Its perforated, open cell structure permits more air circulation against adjacent buttocks and leg areas than most 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 Contoured cushion is suitable for people who must use a wheelchair as a result of a spinal cord injury (e.g., paraplegia, quadriplegia or tetraplegia), stroke, or other disability.
