ROHO Cushions

For anyone at risk of pressure injuries, the cushion under you isn't a comfort accessory — it's skin protection. ROHO dry flotation cushions, made by Permobil, use interconnected air cells that shift with your body, immersing and enveloping bony prominences so pressure is redistributed instead of concentrated at the ischial tuberosities and coccyx. That's why clinicians reach for ROHO when sitting tolerance, existing wounds, or a history of skin breakdown are on the line.

The core question most buyers ask is which profile? The ROHO High Profile cells stand roughly 4 inches tall and offer maximum immersion for users with the highest skin-protection needs or existing pressure ulcers. The Low Profile gives similar protection with about 2-inch cells for those who need more stability and a lower seated height. Between them sits the ROHO Hybrid Elite, which pairs a contoured foam base with an air-cell insert — a good match for people who want positioning support and a firmer feel without giving up flotation.

Getting the fit right matters as much as the model. Cushions are sized to your wheelchair seat (16x16, 18x16, 18x18, 20x18, 20x20 and larger), and each one adjusts by inflating, then hand-checking that you're floating roughly an inch above the base — not bottoming out. The ROHO Airlite is a lighter-weight, budget-conscious flotation option, while Sensor Ready (SR) Hybrid Elite models accommodate smart-monitoring add-ons. Covers are washable and fluid-resistant, and replacement covers like the Quattro cover are available separately.

Weight capacities run from around 250 lbs up to 500 lbs depending on model, so confirm both seat dimensions and rider weight before ordering. Explore related seating and skin-protection options in Wheelchair Cushions and our broader Cushions & Supports collection.
