ROHO introduced their unique air flotation technology for wheelchair cushions back in the 1970s, and their line of premium wheelchair cushions has dominated the field ever since.
But not all of their cushions come at such a high price point - the ROHO Mosaic Wheelchair Cushion combines years of technical knowledge into a simple and more affordable wheelchair cushion that's easily the best value in its category.
The Mosaic's interconnected air cells distribute forces evenly across the cushion, which means it adjusts to your shape, weight, and positioning while still being effective for low risk skin protection.
Inside the box, you'll find the Mosaic cushion, its hand pump, a user guide, and a quick patch kit for minor damage.
The entire cushions weighs less than a pound but supports users up to 250 pounds.
Its attractive cover makes it easy to understand how the cushion is oriented, and you can choose between the standard machine washable cover or the heavy duty incontinence cover.
At around $100 for the ROHO Mosaic with a standard cover, it's easily the best value for anyone looking for an air-based wheelchair cushion with low risk skin protection. Those looking for cushions with more advanced positioning and skin protection options should check out the rest of ROHO's line!
ROHO is a leading manufacturer of wheelchair cushions, with a history of high quality and innovation. The Mosaic offers the opportunity to enjoy the company’s trademark air floatation technology at a budget-friendly price.
The Mosaic is best for those who have full or partial sensation in the seating area. It is designed for comfort and support, and provides skin protection for those at minimal risk of developing issues like ulcers and shearing. The level of support offered by this cushion is ideal for those who have good balance while using their mobility device.
Weighing next to nothing, it will add no additional pressure to the mobility device, so individuals should find using this cushion a breeze.
Being a ROHO cushion, its flexible air-filled compartments are adjustable to the individual user’s level of desired firmness for maximum comfort. For optimal convenience, this lightweight item is easy to transfer between devices and travels well. The polyvinyl shell is durable; but should it need repair, it can be easily fixed using the repair kit that is included with purchase.
With three available sizes and a weight capacity of up to 250 pounds, this cushion will suit many users but is not recommended for bariatric use. Currently, the ROHO Mosaic is not available in pediatric sizes.
Though not the most heavy-duty cushion on the market, the ROHO Mosaic is a high-quality, well-constructed item that comes at an unbeatable price. For these reasons, we've named it the Best Value in the Air cushions category!
There is no one right cushion for everyone, but everyone deserves the right cushion for their needs!
