Wheelchair cushion basics Part 1 (simple overview). Not medical advice.

Don’t judge a whole brand or cushion type off one model—there are a lot of variations, and not all are mentioned here.

For a new everyday cushion, a seating professional/PT can help dial it in.

VD: Indoors, Emerson sits in a wheelchair in a living room with a staircase behind him and explains “cushion basics” as a simple overview (not medical advice). He holds up different wheelchair cushions while talking: a basic foam cushion, a slightly contoured foam cushion, a grid/Purple-style cushion, and a honeycomb cushion. Near the end, he brings an air-cell cushion into frame as he starts to introduce air cushions. On-screen text appears including “Watch Part 2 for More.” A Disability Lab watermark is visible in the corner.

Quick bathroom equipment tip: ROHO toilet seat cushion.
It’s travel-friendly, great for small bathrooms, and simple to set up—position it where you want it, then use the snaps/straps around the toilet seat to hold it in place.

And yes… if you’re watching this on the toilet, leave the toilet emoji.🚽

VD: In a small bathroom, Emerson sits facing the camera and introduces a ROHO toilet seat cushion. The video cuts to a close-up of a toilet with the lid up and the cushion positioned on the seat. Emerson demonstrates attaching the cushion using snap straps that wrap around the toilet seat to hold it in place, snapping each side down. The final shot is an overhead view of Emerson in the bathroom looking up at the camera as he jokes about leaving a toilet emoji. A Disability Lab watermark appears in the corner.

Rubber valve stems can crack/tear right at the base (usually when you least need a flat). That’s why all‑metal valves are a solid upgrade on wheelchair inner tubes—more durable stem, less wobble, and they hold up better over time.

Have you ever had a valve stem fail, or are flats usually from punctures?

Cleaning quick-release axles is one of those “2-minute” maintenance wins.
Wipe down the axle and spacers, add a couple drops of lubricant, then move the axle in the sleeve to spread it around. Done.
Tip: If you run spacers, don’t forget to put them back on before you take off.
