Troubleshooting
Cushion feels too firm or too soft
Memory foam can initially feel firmer in cooler temperatures and soften as it warms up with body heat. Allow time for the cushion to adjust to room temperature and body temperature. If it remains unsuitable, ensure it is the correct size and type for your needs.
Cover is difficult to clean
Use a mild detergent and a damp cloth for spot cleaning. Avoid soaking the cover or using harsh cleaning agents. Ensure the cover is completely dry before placing it back on the cushion.
Cushion doesn't seem to distribute pressure effectively
Ensure the cushion is correctly placed on the wheelchair seat and that the user is sitting squarely on it. The standard size is designed for common wheelchairs; check compatibility if you have a non-standard model. For persistent issues, consult a healthcare professional.
