How to choose a seating cushion

Seat dimensions

Measure the usable chair or wheelchair seat width and depth so the cushion remains stable.

Duration of sitting

The longer a person remains seated and the less independently they reposition, the more important an individual assessment becomes.

Weight and support

Check weight capacity, cushion height and whether it provides stable support without disturbing posture.

Shape and material

Profiled foam, memory foam and cushions with openings serve different purposes. Choice depends on the area and intended use.

Compare the main types

Profiled pressure-redistributing cushions

Suitable for longer sitting when correctly sized and matched to the user’s needs.

Memory foam and anatomical shapes

Conform to the body and provide comfort and support. Check firmness, height and cover.

Cushions with a central opening

Designed for specific local relief. When a pressure ulcer or high risk is present, selection requires clinical assessment.

The right cushion is one part of an overall care plan. It does not replace regular skin checks, appropriate repositioning or clinical assessment when redness, broken skin or a wound is present.

Need a cushion with the correct size and support?

Tell us the seat dimensions, approximate weight, daily sitting time and whether the person can reposition independently.

Frequently asked questions

How do I measure a seat for a cushion?

Measure the usable seat width and depth. Consider armrests, backrest and foot position.

Can the cushion change sitting height?

Yes. Its thickness can raise the position and alter the relationship with armrests, footrests and backrest. Recheck the full setup after fitting it.

When is a cushion with a central opening suitable?

These products address specific local needs. They are not a universal prevention option, and a wound or high risk requires professional assessment.

Is repositioning still necessary with this cushion?

Yes. The cushion supports pressure redistribution but does not replace regular pressure relief and repositioning in the individual care plan.

How do I check whether the cushion is suitable?

Check stability, pelvic and leg position, comfort and skin condition. Seek advice if pain, redness or instability occurs.

Can a wheelchair cushion be obtained through the Bulgarian NHIF?

A pressure-relieving cushion may be supplied when the relevant indications and documentation requirements are met. The specific product offered must match the prescribed item.
