Seat mat for wheelchair, any pointers?

MauraBrigid

Hello

I don't use a wheelchair its for my mother who cant use the internet either.

She is wheelchair bound

She keeps asking me for seat mat she saw on tv.

She has a very sore rear end.

Any pointers would be appreciated.

HI,

I can't offer any personal experience but I think the TV advert is the one from JML.

Wibbles

Mine is a memory foam one - thick and comfortable !

looks like https://www.uk-wheelchairs.co.uk/extra-deep-memory-foam-wheelchair-cushion

If it's the JML seat mat she saw, then this is for use with an office chair rather than a wheelchair (& is currently out of stock).

The one wibbles recommends is more suitable, or look here:

Hi @MauraBrigid and welcome to the community 😊

I'm not sure of the advert your mother saw but I found this website and they have a few different options https://www.mobilitysmart.co.uk/catalogsearch/result/?q=wheelchair%20cushion Maybe one of them is suitable? I hope she finds one that gives her some comfort.
