You might consider a alternating pressure mattress for your bed for some relief.
It would definitely help to lay on your side at night if possible and do some shifting in your chair during the day even a $1000 cushion won't give you complete pressure relief you have to do pressure relief some how.
Have you considered a standing wheelchair?
