I have had cushions for years, maybe longer than I should have kept them.  Physical therapist have told me as well as some vendors that the life of a cushion is only a about three to four years.  Maybe the cushion is just wearing out and leaking from area other than the valve that you would not normally suspect.

Hi Dan,
 
Since '89 when I had my right leg removed and part of my pelvic bone filed-off, I've used a custom-made seat.  Until then I used a ROHO, and I did need to check the cushion to make sure it was inflated correctly.  If the cushion is low on air it will feel different.  I didn't rotate mine but I know it needed to be put in the chair the right way.  I hope this helps.
 
With Love,

     I have been on my roho wheelchair seat cushion about 3 years. Do any other Roho users know if they need to be rotated.. or do you just keep them in the same position always ? I began to notice mine was a bit low and even when we filled it up more it seemed to sit a bit different.......now last 2 days it has lost air, I don't see any way it could be punctured unless my wife is not tightening the valve enough.
Alway's  seem to have some quad related problems  LOL ,  thanks for any that may know !
