Wheelchair Cushions Are a Great Comfort 
 

We all want to be comfortable. We strive to sleep in comfortable beds, wear clothes that fit well, fill our bellies with good food, relax in comfortable chairs, and wear comfortable shoes.

We also like to sit down and relax, to take a breather from standing on our feet all day.  After a while, though, even sitting down becomes a little uncomfortable so we move around, cross our legs or get up, stretch, and find another seat.  Yet a person sitting in a wheelchair cannot easily do this.  Sitting for hours in an uncomfortable wheelchair seat is like walking the Appalachian Trail in a pair of uncomfortable hiking boots.

Sitting in the same stiff, non-breathable leather or cloth wheelchair seat all day, from the moment of waking in the morning to the time of going back to bed, can become a pain in the, well, rear end.

Comfort comes in many different packages for many different people and a wheelchair cushion can offer much comfort and relief for a wheelchair-bound person.  Rehabmart can assist with wheelchair comfort by offering a wide selection of more than one hundred wheelchair cushions.

For many people sitting down is not necessary a relaxing choice but a battle of endurance.  A wheelchair-person's wheelchair seat should be as comfortable to them as a good pair of shoes is for the walk-about person.  We all want comfort in our life.  We work better and we laugh easier and we love our family better when we are feeling good and comfortable in our daily routine.  Life is short so why not enjoy being comfortable as much as possible, and using a wheelchair cushion can be a great comfort in the end.
