Seat Cushion (Accessory)

The seat cushion  is very important to ensure that you are comfortable sitting in the wheelchair and to prevent pressure sores or other posture problems. Be sure to consult a specialist retailer before making a purchase and try out a variety of cushions. It is important that the seat cushion is firmly attached to the seat surface and not just laid on top of it (risk of slipping). Scewo recommends Velcro strips for this purpose:

  1. Attach the supplied self-adhesive Velcro strips to the corresponding sections on your cushion. Remove the protective film.

  2. Clean and remove any greasy spots from the seat surface (e.g. with denatured alcohol) to ensure the best possible adhesion of the glue.

  3. Position the cushion on the seat in such a way that the Velcro strips adhere to the seat.

  4. Remove the seat cushion and press the Velcro strips firmly into place.

  5. The final position can now be adjusted easily thanks to the wide Velcro strips. Check that the cushion is correctly aligned (front and back as indicated on the sticker on the cushion).
