If a doctor didn't help you order this product, how did you decide what size to buy and did you have trouble adjusting the cushion?

I measured he seat of the wheelchair to determine what size to buy. I don't recommend this particular Roho cushion. It loses air quickly and requires frequent/daily inflation. The old style Roho cushion we had previously, without the "gauge" on the front, was much better (it held air for a long period of time before needing re-inflation). We used that cushion for several years until it apparently got a pinhole which I was not able to find to patch. With the new Roho cushion, my husband developed a Stage 4 pressure sore which is not healing despite debridement, wound vac and other treatments.

Our doctor did suggest the cushion (although Medicare hasn't been willing to pay for it as of now), but he left it to usto determine the size. I measured my husband's wheelchair and the 2 chairs in which he sits often and selected thesize based on that. It is very easy to adjust the inflation level on the cushion. It has made a huge difference for my husband and is well worth it.

I measured the wheelchair depth and width and used that for the order. It does requires every other day checking to assure that the air cushions are the right tension. A physical therapist helped with showing us how to measure the air cushion depth..place hands under bony area and you should be able to slip hands under. The cushion directions help as well and there are You Tube videos that explain it too.

You can also call the company's customer support. This cushion was recommended to us by the physical therapist, but she recommended we consult customer service and we found them very helpful. The cushion is very helpful in actually healing pressure sores - in just days!

After seeing a doctor about a small wound, I was referred to a physical therapist who recommended Roho. Over the years, I have ended up with two, one standard four inch cushion, and one with a shape that aidsmaintaining your position. The four inch is the most comfortable, but presents some difficulty in transferring.

Actually, a doctor did suggest this product. We bought the size that would fit the dimensions of my mother in law's wheelchair. There are instructions that come with that explain how to adjust the cushion; however we did have help. My mother in law's Physical Therapist she was seeing after her release from skilled nursing actually adjusted the cushion. We have been very happy with the cushion. My mother in law has had no more compression sores and can sit comfortably for long periods of time on this cushion. Hope you find this information helpful, and good luck to you and your family member. Actually, a doctor did suggest this product.

My grandmother's caregivers asked for this product specifically. I believe their decision was based on their difficulty helping her in and out of the chair with the lower cushion.

we knew which one to order since my husband had a brother in a wheelchair. it took us about 4 times letting the air out to get it just right.

I had difficulties finding a size that worked perfectly but just tucked the back end of the cushion between the back and the seat. Not ideal but all that we could to do make it fit.

Did you buy this cushion? I am about your size and am looking for a cushion to put in my seat at the movies to see over tall people. Do you think this would work? Nancy

Someone answered the size information in a different question. I returned my cushion since it became flat when sitting on it. It would spring back up when I got off of it, but it had no support while sitting on it.

The cushion is 18.2 inches wide. I wear a size 18 (or 1X) and its perfect for me (all of me rests on the cushion). You might try it and return it if it doesn't work for you. I just spent 3 days sitting on a couch without it, and mild sciatica and hemoroids immediately returned. So I know the cushion does help!

Hi Allison, I had the same problem! When I ordered, I noted that the picture DID stay on the color I wanted- so I ordered using the picture- and hoped for the best. It worked! We are delighted with this cushion experts/blazing needles purchase. It looks great and is uber comfortable!

My doctor showed me on my foot where the cushion should be placed. I also did a bit of trial and error as to what felt the best.

I have not purchase a bench cushion yet. I was going to try one that was 19 X 9.

I bought a 25" x 38" Dream on Me mattress to go in mine as extra cushion and it fits perfectly. As I got this for my Grandchild to use while visiting, I don't have it up at the moment as the baby is due the end of June. I have taken it down/put it up a couple of times though to see if I like it and it's sooo easy to assemble and I love the case it comes with. Good luck!

I am 5'11", medium build, and the 14" cushion works very well for me. It might be a bit too big for a petite sized person, though.

Best thing to do is find a chair in your house that is comfortable and measure the chair cushion height ***with the cushion compressed as if you are sitting on it with your full weight***. Getting a height too tall can result in circulation being cut off somewhat as the backs of your legs press against the webbing at a downward angle. I tried upsizing to the 21" model when I wore out my first 18" model and I had to go back to the 18" which is perfectly comfortable.

Adjusting the seat location is difficult. I asked my grandsonl to make the adjustment for me, which he did, but I still need a back cushion. The bike is not as efficient as I might like, but it works well. Different programs are simply too vague to be helpful. I just ride while watching the tv. I also use a treadmill and a shiatsu massage chair and trade off one device at a time. Dorothy
