It's softer than a gel & more stable than a Roho. With these cushions one fills it with air before sitting on it and after the user sits on it, there is a valve and dial to let some air out. Suppose to let the proper amount of air out according to the dial but it can be adjusted to comfort. This is probably what someone meant when they said sit ON it. Because it's done after we sit ON it, not before! :D still sounds funny but just trying to help :-)

Hope this helps...if I didn't have my husband to push me up before it would have driven me crazy! ----- Original Message ----- From: _wheelchair@aol.com_ (mailto:wheelch...@aol.com) To: _quadius@gmail.com_ (mailto:quad...@gmail.com) ; _quad-list@eskimo.com_ (mailto:quad-list@eskimo.com) Sent: Monday, February 07, 2011 6:14 PM Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] Seating That is interesting, cross over specialist, eh? PT, work with the muscles groups and that which supports them. OT, work with daily living, driver's evaluation, wheelchairs, scooters and position/seating. Generally, they stick their nose in another's certification. Best Wishes In a message dated 2/7/2011 5:07:07 P.M.

I cannot find a pressure mapping company within 60 miles- maybe more. Medicare will not pay for it, I' m told. I've put foam wedges to raise my thighs up. It helps. I use tilt too but I about slide out anyway. I live alone soit can get tricky. Do many quads have this sliding out problem?
