Foam Cushions

Foam Seat Cushions Australia – Wheelchair & Chair Foam Cushions for Comfort & Pressure Care

Safety and Mobility supplies foam seating cushions for wheelchair and general chair users across home, aged care, and community settings in Australia. Foam cushions are the most commonly used seating cushion type, providing a comfortable, stable base that moulds to the seated body shape to distribute weight across a wider surface area and reduce peak pressure at bony prominences. They are suited to clients with low to medium pressure injury risk who require a simple, low-maintenance seating solution.

Our foam cushion range includes standard flat foam cushions, contoured foam cushions with pre-shaped relief areas for the ischials and thighs, and high-density foam options for bariatric-rated applications. Unlike air or fluid-filled cushions, foam cushions require no maintenance and are immediately usable, making them a practical choice for everyday seating support. As a registered NDIS provider, Safety and Mobility can supply foam cushions to eligible NDIS participants across Australia.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What foam density is best for a wheelchair cushion?
Higher-density foam provides greater support and resists bottoming-out (where the user sinks through the foam to make contact with the hard base) for longer than lower-density foam. For clients who use a wheelchair or chair for more than a few hours a day, a medium to high density foam is generally recommended. For high-risk clients, a profiled foam or hybrid foam-gel cushion may be more appropriate, an occupational therapist can advise on the right foam type for the individual.
