By stability we mean how well the cushion holds you in place. The
Roho is great because when you lean one way or the other the air in
the coushion moves in order to prevent more pressure on that area
that you are leading to. This works great in preventing pressure
sores but if you start to lean one way or the other you just keep
going. With a regular foam cushion this doesn't happen. You tend to
stay put -- better for stability but not so good in preventing
pressure sores. So, for us quads that have difficulty keeping our
sitting balance, we have to try to find a way in between firmness and softness.

At 11:12 PM 4/30/2010, Lissette Whitehead said something that
elicited my response:
not really sure what you guys mean by the stability issues, I feel
pretty stable, maybe it has to do with how well inflated it is? or
the way your chair holds it in?

still. That should give much better stability. Roho - Hybrid Elite
