Thanks, Paul. So it's basically made of foam? Anyway, my problem seems to be on the scrotum, which isn't exactly a bony protuberance.
This sounds expensive, too, but I'll definitely think about.

RIDE SYSTEM: You get your butt and hips mapped and wherever there Aae bony prominences, the areas where wounds occur, the cushion is cut out so there is no pressure, friction or touching. These bony prominences, just float and are free from pressure. The cushion is individualized to you. Hope this helps.

Can anyone explain why the Ride cushion is different/better? I'm currently in bed because of a scrotum pressure wound, and I've been using a Roho Quadtro for the past several years (after many more years on memory foam cushions).

Not saying that it shouldn't be used. Just say be careful.
