Re: [QUAD-L] check out this cushion
The quad I work for has a callous on his rear which sounds like what you described. His callous is in the shape of a v which starts at the top of his crack and somewhat parallels it on the way down. As it goes down each buttocks it fans slightly into a narrow V. He has had a 4 RoHo cushion which has been a life saver for years. He does, however, recline in his chair a good bit. The back rest is not Roho but a regular J back. I also wondered if this pressure area is due to the head of his bead being up about 45 degrees at night and somehow putting pressure on his rear.
