Roho Mosaic 18" x 18" Wheelchair Air Cushion, Standard Cover

This is my second one, my first had a leak by the valve and I tried to repair but to no avail. This one seems to be keeping inflation level fine. Maybe a little better instructions as far as the valve is concerned, seemed like the first valve would not close properly and loose air, but it was a learning curve for me so was my issue with it and not really due to any manufacturers materials. But maybe some pictorial images would help explain directions as far as turning the top of the valve of lower on the value to open and close, hard to explain, but the seat cushion is the most comfortable I have found. Kindest regards,

Perfect for someone that is chair bound. Easy to inflate. All parts were present. Comfortable and easy to clean.

My left S I joint causes lots of pain when I sit on certain kinds of chairs such as my office chair. I was getting shots in that hip but my bone density is very low in that joint now. I have tried lots of other seat cushions , but none gave me very much relief. This cushion is completely different than any others I've tried. You can adjust the amount of air you put in it. Since I have been using this cushion in my office chair, I do not have any pain in my joint. I highly recommend this cushion for S I joint pain.

Product came on time. I had trouble getting the air to stay in the chamber. I thought I was going to have to send it back. After setting it aside for a day or two I tried it again, and presto, it worked. Mom seems to be more comfy.

I have bought three of these ROHO cushions. I am a quadriplegic with progressive multiple sclerosis. I have another friend with the same condition who passed away due to pressure sores. I am trying desperately to keep the same thing from happening to myself. I have tried many cushions, and the only one that actually helped my sores to heal was the Rojo cushion. I know quite a few other people in wheelchairs who also use these cushions, and they also feel that it is prevented them from pressure sores. I bought two of these one year ago, and they have both failed. The quality has gone down. For one thing, they changed the valve. It used to be a metal valve where you pump the air in. Now it is a plastic valve. These cushions used to last for many years, and now these newer ones with the plastic valves fail. The two that I bought last year about a month apart from here on Amazon have both developed leaks and I can’t find where the leak is coming from. I think the valves are faulty. I am not sure but now I am going to have to find something else and I’m worried because the only thing that works for me is the ROHO cushion. I am trying to find some alternative to this product. They are using cheap materials now, and it is certainly not worth the money. So unfortunately, I have to give a big thumbs down to the ROHO Company. People are going to lose their lives because of his companies having caved into greed and using cheap materials. It is a terrible shame.

So… Yes, this is a Roho brand *seat* cushion with a cover, pump, patch kit, instructions, and paperwork. No, it is not a Roho *medical* cushion, but it's not meant to be. A Roho medical / wheelchair cushion is designed for people with spinal cord injuries (who can't feel when blood circulation is getting cut off) and for folks with cognitive or communication issues (who can't tell you when things are going numb). The medical grade cushions (which this one is not) are made out of rubber, have high strength metal inflation valves, and come in many different sizes and configurations (like the ability to have different pressure in different parts of the cushion). *THIS* Roho seat cushion is nice quality, especially for the price point. I was actually quite pleasantly surprised when opening the package. And there are important differences to be aware of before purchasing: - Fewer size options - 315 lbs weight limit - Plastic valve instead of metal - Plastic air bladder instead of rubber - Air cell heights are all 3" tall - Fewer air cells - And the air cells are larger Normally you would anticipate this cushion to have a 5 x 5 cell configuration (a grid of 5 columns of 5 rows), or 25 air cells total. However, this cushion has been designed differently. Sitting on the cushion, from left-to-right the cells are arranged 4, 5, 5, 5, 4, for a total of 23 air cells. Who cares, right? Well, having fewer cells on the far left and far right means those cells are larger. In effect, those larger edge cells act as a channel to help keep your legs straight; therefore it's easier to keep your knees together. If you're wearing a skirt or kilt, that might be a benefit for you. Alternately, if you like looking like a cowboy with your knees splayed apart for comfort, you’re still good – it ‘helps’ keep your knees together, but it doesn’t ‘force’ them together. IMPORTANT: The single biggest problem any Roho cushion is over inflation. Folks, this cushion isn't a flotation device - don't pump it up and then sit "on top" of the cushion! You're supposed to sink "down into" the cushion. Ideally, you want 1/2" of air between your I.T.'s (your ‘ischial tuberosities’ or 'butt bones') and the bottom of the cushion. Think air suspension, not air flotation. The included instruction paperwork (which nobody reads) has a very clear description of how to achieve the perfect inflation level. If you've inflated your cushion correctly, when you get off the cushion it's SUPPOSED to look 'low on air' or 'going flat'. You want the minimum amount of air possible that can still keep your body correctly suspended. Pumping it up like a life raft (which is adding more air pressure) is just that - it's adding pressure against your skin. I know it sounds weird since low pressure in any kind of pool toy or tire is generally a really bad thing. It's your cushion and you can inflate it till it pops if you want. But as someone with lots of experience in this area, you'll be more comfortable and have less punctures if you follow the instructions. Of course, YMMV. In short, this Roho ‘seat cushion’ has features *similar* to a Roho medical cushion. But it can’t compare to the medical grade cushions. And that's fine because it's not intended to be a competitor for the medical cushions. Can you use it in a wheelchair? Of course - provided that wheelchair occupant can communicate to a caregiver (or transfer out of the chair independently) if the cushion gets a flat. Is it as durable as a medical grade Roho? No - So don't go 'plopping' down on it, don't stash your keys, pen, or reading glasses under your leg. Treat the cushion with care (especially when inflating) because the valve is plastic. Can it be repaired? Yes - Patching punctures in the air bladder is a cinch with the included repair kit. But if you twist that plastic valve too hard (in either direction), you're going to have a bad day. I've repaired many medical grade Roho cushions in my day, and valve repairs were always a messy hit/miss situation. Glue everywhere, slow leaks, ick! Verdict? - I would ABSOLUTELY recommend this Roho 'seat' cushion to anyone who is having sitting pain in a vehicle, office chair, or occasional use in a wheelchair (trips to the doctor, church, dinner, library, concert, movie, visiting family). - I would ABSOLUTELY NOT recommend this Roho 'seat' cushion for someone in a wheelchair who self-ambulates (by using their feet or the handrims) and is in the wheelchair all day. It's not designed for that task, and you're going to be disappointed. Get a medical grade Roho instead. IMPORTANT: Twenty years ago, the cost to perform skin-flap surgery to repair a pressure sore was about $60K. (It's probably twice that cost today). Human skin is one of your body organs, and if your skin is damaged it can quickly lead to serious infections. ‘Nuff said. TL;DR - If your butt hurts, this is a really solid cushion for the price. If you're in a wheelchair all day, get a medical grade Roho instead.

Whoever designed this has my heartfelt gratitude. I had "tried them all." And then, the Roho. Long plane trips? Sitting for extended periods of time? - No pain, not even stiffness. And this from someone with a history of back pain and a ruptured disk. I am sitting on it right now. I use it when working on the computer and even at the dinner table. I take it on long car trips. It works. In addition to feeling very comfortable, it somehow does actually stabilize your bottom and hips, and in a dynamic way. By that I mean, you are not locked into one, static, correct position. As you move, the air flows from one interlocking air pocket into the next. Feels kind of like a slow-moving wave. So it supports, cajoles and cradles. The Roho is more an orthopedic device than a cushion. The only potential downside is that it is inflatable. Since I have never used or heard of an inflatable pillow, cushion or mattress that does not at some point leak, I generally have little faith in them. That said, some features of the Roho may mitigate this risk. One is that you do not inflate it to full capacity. How much depends on your size, weight and preference. The air also moves from one compartment to another. So sitting on it does not seem to place sudden or maximum pressure on any one area. It is also encased in a well-made covering, which supports and protects the interior. No problems yet, and it sits on a chair in the kitchen by a computer used by many people, weighing from the low to the upper 100's. Price? It is expensive, but in this case, you really do get what you pay for. If they lowered the price, I would buy several more.

I HIGHLY suggest everyone read the review left by Timothy Barrett because it’s completely accurate. I used to be a caregiver to a quadriplegic man and he has the medical grade ROHO. That thing was absolutely HEAVENLY to sit on. This cushion is quite similar but with larger & fewer “bubbles,” so you’re not going to get that same level as the medical grade but it’s perfection for those of us who are not confined to a chair all day & every day. I suggest UNDER filling it to start with and then slowly keep adding air until you hit that sweet spot. Due to chronic pain issues that leave me quite disabled a lot of the time, this cushion is what I’ve been trying to avoid splurging on. I’ve bought every conceivable cushion hoping to “save money” but in the end this is what I’ve been needing and spent twice the cost just to get to that determination. It’s a godsend for those of us with sciatica, hip pain, degenerative disc disease, and/or arthritis of the ischial tuberosity (sit bone) -and sitting too much & at risk of developing “bedsores.” My happy place is rotating between sitting on this, a water pillow, and large reusable ice packs. (“A happy bum is a numb bum” - Confucius) If you suffer as much as I do (you poor thing!!), don’t even bother with anything else except what I mention above. This is the Gold Standard of cushions. Oh, some people have complained about the valve. I haven’t had any issues and found it incredibly easy to inflate or deflate using the pump included. Lastly: I don’t use the cover. If you live in a cold climate maybe that would make sense to you but I prefer no cover & allowing air to circulate.

Works well and good quality

Works respally well.

Minder çok hafif çok ince bu kadar beklemiyordum.Pişman oldum bilseydim almazdım.

Researched wheelchair seat cushions and ROHO kept coming up with high ratings. This seat cushion and cover are excellent. The price was the best. The first 10 days or so, you do need to add air as the seat adjusts to your weight and after that, it rarely needs more air. The cover is high quality too and washes easily. Highly recommend!
