Can I put an additional cushion into my wheelchair?

The basic purpose of a wheelchair cushion is to provide additional comfort to the users when seated. Most wheelchairs are designed for you to use your own cushion and it is recommended that you buy a cushion when purchasing a new wheelchair even if it is just a basic foam one.

The more advanced pressure care cushions are designed to prevent pressure sores, these can develop if you spend long periods of time seated in the chair.
