Description
The Ride Designs Java cushion is a wheelchair cushion with a polyethylene base and a contoured polyurethane foam top. Ride Designs vents the base and shapes the top foam, and the outer cover is a breathable spandex and polyester spacer fabric. It comes in six widths and depths, and the maker modifies either at no extra charge.
An occupational therapist or physiotherapist sets it up in a seating assessment. The Java cushion is the foam model in the wheelchair cushion range; the scanned Ride Designs Custom 2 cushion suits a shape that has to match the body exactly.
Who is it for?
Capacity is 350 lb (160 kg). Ride Designs says the contour moves the forces of pressure and shear away from high risk areas to areas that tolerate them better, and that it aids sitting stability. The maker says the cushion works best alongside a Ride back support.
Which size fits the chair?
Widths and depths are 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 20 in. We confirm the size on the order. Width and depth modifications are free.
How is it built?
The base is polyethylene and the top foam is polyurethane. Ride Designs vents the base, and the maker says the contoured foam and spacer cover keep skin cooler and drier. Weight runs 1.7 to 3.5 lb (0.8 to 1.6 kg) by size.
How do you set it up?
Ride CAM wedges and well inserts let the contour change later, at home or in the clinic. Two Ride Gauges come with the cushion. We fit it to the chair at delivery through a wheelchair configuration.
Covers, care and returns
The outer cover is machine washable, and the inner cover and base can be sanitized. A used cushion, or one that has touched the skin, is not returnable. Read the return policy.
