Hi Derrick, Pressure mapping is a very individualized test. What maps great for one individual will not necessarily map well for the next individual. That is why you have so many choices of cushions on the market today! I do think pressure mapping is a valuable assessment tool, so I would encourage you to find a seating clinic that offers pressure mapping as a component of their seating assessment process so you can try a variety of cushions and narrow your choices down to what maps well for you.
Based on your comment about compromised balance, if you are looking at the ROHO family of products I would point you toward the QUADTRO SELECT cushion. You can lock the air into 4 quadrants of the cushion to improve seated balance and stability. The other ROHO family option would be the Hybrid Elite cushion. This is the ROHO product that utilizes a foam base manufactured by Sunrise Medical combined with a specially fitted ROHO adjustable air pad. The foam base addresses stability, while the ROHO air pad addresses the requirement for skin protection. Feel free to contact me directly if you have any specific questions about ROHO products or services. Sincerely, Tom Tom Borcherding ROHO Inc. 100 N.

Plus you need to make sure that you have proper air in them. I've been using Jay2 and Motion Concept the past few years. Is gel or air cushions more popular? Has anyone tried the Comfort Company Vicair cushions? It maps out better than Roho, supposedly. Thanks, Derrick W in PA This e-mail contains information and/or documents from The ROHO Group, Inc.
