Long hours in a wheelchair against a flat sling back leave the lower back unsupported, and posture tends to change with Parkinson’s - so a shaped backrest cushion makes extended sitting more comfortable and better supported. We chose this one because it’s built to stay put: the backboard keeps it flat against the chair and the top-to-bottom straps stop it sliding down, which is a common frustration with back cushions. The waterproof, wipe-clean cover is genuinely practical for daily use.
Good to know
The straps run top-to-bottom on purpose - side-to-side straps tend to slide down a sling back, so this design holds its height better.
It’s a universal one-size cushion; on very wide or narrow chairs, check the 15” width against your backrest first.
The cover is waterproof and wipes clean, or hand wash cold and air dry - don’t machine wash or tumble dry.
It pairs naturally with a seat cushion for full-length support.
The Vive Wheelchair Backrest Cushion adds shaped lumbar support to the back of a wheelchair, transport chair, or power chair. A curved memory foam profile follows the natural curve of the lower spine to support your posture through long stretches of sitting, so you’re not left unsupported against a flat sling back.
A firm backboard keeps the cushion flat and stable against the chair rather than bunching, and two adjustable straps run top-to-bottom so you can set the height and the cushion stays put - side-mounted straps tend to slide down. It fits standard wheelchairs, transport chairs, and power chairs in one universal size.
The nylon cover is waterproof - wipe it clean, or hand wash cold with mild soap and air dry. Latex-free. Measures 18” x 15” x 3.5” and weighs 2.46 lbs. Includes the foam cushion, cover with backboard, and two straps.
