The FOMI orthopedic wheelchair cushion is made of medical-grade gel in column buckling technology for a comfortable seat and the relief and prevention of pressure sores. The design helps to distribute the weight of your body evenly across your rear as you sit, keeping you cool at the same time with a cooling structure and plenty of air circulation. Customers will also like that the cushion is non-slip and secure and has built-in carry handles so that you can easily move it between locations and seating positions.
The FOMI cushion is a great product for customers who are always moving between different locations. You can easily slip the cushion from your wheelchair to the sofa, to a coffee shop chair, to an airplane set – at just 2.2 pounds and with attached handles, you can move it in a second. Carers of people in wheelchairs will also find the lack of batteries, easy-carry handles, and weight of the cushion helpful when ensuring the comfort of the person in their care.
What makes it special?
- We really like the product is lightweight and has inbuilt carry handles. This provides a level of easy transferability that is very helpful for both wheelchair users and those who care for loved ones/ clients in wheelchairs. Some customers also found that the cushion didn’t slip easily for better stability during use. Another common positive feedback is that the cushion was suitable not just for wheelchair users but also for customers sitting down for long journeys who required additional support.
What cons did we find?
- Many customers felt that the cushion was easily ‘squashed’ if you’re of a heavier weight than the average person. Similar feedback suggested that the foam cells shift as you naturally move, removing the support provided by the cushion. Another problem is that the cushion is a little small at 15 x 17, offering no thigh support. Lastly, we also found that overall, even though the cushion is comfortable at first, the cushion does not continue to offer support for those with pressure sores or needing to sit for a prolonged period.
