They provide skin protection, stability and comfort while using your mobility device. Finding the right cushion, back support and accessories does not have to be a challenge. Between ROHO® and Comfort seating and positioning products, we offer options for your specific needs.
For almost 50 years, ROHO, Inc. dedicated its efforts to the research, engineering, and manufacturing of air-cell based cushions, making ROHO cushions the industry standard in skin and soft tissue protection. ROHO cushions have an air-cell design that keeps you in place while moving as you do, constantly adjusting to your body. It’s called DRY FLOATATION® technology (more on that in the tech section), and it’s a ROHO product exclusive. These specially developed and adjustable air cells mimic the properties of water and ensure your body is immersed and enveloped to give outstanding pressure distribution.
Key benefits:
• skin and soft tissue protection
• positioning and stability capabilities
• adjustments can be made while the individual is seated
Comfort Company first began manufacturing seating and positioning equipment for geriatric and rehabilitation clients and people with disabilities back in 1990. Known for their stable foam bases, contours, and hybrid options, Comfort cushions are engineered and designed to provide pressure relief and positioning to accommodate a wide range of seating requirements. Comfort cushions are contoured and engineered with a combination of adductors, posterior well, abductors, and anti-thrust to mimic the human anatomy to provide positioning and stability based on your needs.
Key benefits:
• foam base provides pressure relief, stability, and positioning
• lightweight and low maintenance
• numerous design options available to best meet your needs
FACT: Cushions can be made of foam and/or air, or be a combination of these materials.
When selecting a seat cushion, back support or wheelchair, consider if the product supports the following:

ROHO® offers a unique air cell design that allows air to flow between the cells providing pressure redistribution and stability. The concept of DRY FLOATATION® is the capability of the cushion to conform and adapt to the body’s shape, mimicking the pressure redistribution properties of water.
FACT: Sometimes, all the cushion options that have been tried still don’t meet your individual needs. Custom fabricated seat cushions are also an option and Permobil offers the ROHO custom.
FACT: Back supports are typically made from a combination of durable and lightweight materials such as molded aluminum, foam, air cells, and breathable fabrics.
Adjustable to accommodate different body shapes and sizes, some back supports can also have head supports and lateral trunk supports attached to them. The goal of a back support should be to promote proper spinal alignment and reduce the risk of developing pressure injuries or discomfort while using a wheelchair.
FACT: Standard back support solutions available may not align perfectly with your unique needs. Permobil presents a selection of custom backs including Comfort Designs and ROHO Custom to cater to your specific needs.
