Hi Derrick, In my *survey of one* I use the ROHO Quadtro Select, it is an air cushion with four quadrants that give you a custom fit. The cushion has two buttons on the front--the green button enables your pelvis to immerse and balance out, pushing the red button locks the air in place and keeps you very stable--it keeps me stable.
As far as pressure mapping, no matter what cushion you are looking at, do NOT rely on pressure mapping alone. Pressure mapping is a tool to help, but the most important tool is looking at the skin on your butt after sitting on the cushion for an extended period of time. An example of this is when I was looking at a different type of cushion--it mapped out fantastic, all blue and cool. However at the end of the day my skin was bright red and hot. If I had just relied on the pressure map and not checked my skin with a mirror each night I would have surely ended up with a bad pressure ulcer. My 2-cents.
