OK I am getting worse but I want to stay as good as I can. You may have heard of all these - I had not and they are all helping.

Wedge cushion - good for posture.

Transfer/handling belt - Excellent.

Sissel cushion

Interesting website

Glad they helped some x

Thanks for posting this information, Litty, it's really useful. I am thinking of getting a sitfit but was wondering how much time you should spend using it. Do you use one all the time or just for short periods? Jonathan

Cannot find Sissel cushion?

Always thankful to have advice!

Hello Litty. 3 years after your post I am finally going to get a wedge cushion or a Sissel cushion as I now spend all day sitting in a wheelchair(better late than never!). One question: unlike the sissel cushion, the wedge cushion is tilted so does using a wedge cushion ever make you feel unstable or like you are going to fall out of your chair?
