Cushion, Wheelchair, Wedge, For 18x16 Wheelchair

This wheelchair wedge cushion is made for 18 x 16 inch wheelchairs and uses an angled design to help reduce forward sliding while supporting seating posture. It fits buyers looking for added positioning support in wheelchairs and may also work on recliners or office chairs where a wedge shape is preferred. Two layers of high-density foam, a four-section gel pack, and a fluid-proof ShearX stretch cover help balance support, pressure relief, and surface protection.
