Comfort for the user is all important when it comes to wheelchair foam. There are many different types of wheelchairs and many reasons why someone might need the use of one. Also, some people need to spend more time sitting in the chairs than others need to. If you are looking to buy foam to use with a wheelchair, it’s best to get in touch with us to discuss your requirements before you order, so we can ensure you get just the right foam for your needs.
We would recommend our Vasco50 memory foam for wheelchair foam because it moulds itself to the shape of the body. This might be the best choice if you are looking for some comfort on top of an existing pad. Vasco 50 is great for pressure point relief, especially on sensitive areas. Memory foam absorbs motion reducing jolting and adjusts to body temperature, so these properties are particularly beneficial for anyone who needs to spend a lot of time in the wheelchair.
Alternatively, you could choose Reflex foam, it is called reflex because its shape bounces back preventing sagging and is therefore longer lasting. This is a low-cost choice for anyone on a budget. We have Reflex foam in four options, high density, soft gold, soft cream and grey high resilience. Whilst all offer comfort and support, their properties are slightly different.
