Pioneered by ROHO in the early 1970s, air-based wheelchair cushions have become the go-to choice for wheelchair users who put a high priority on adjustability and pressure reduction - especially those at high risk of skin degradation. There are dozens of options now and that’s why we put over $5000 worth of cushions through our 70 point test to whittle them down to the best of the best.

These are our picks for the 5 best wheelchair cushions in the air category.

Starting us off at number five is the Balanced Aire Adjustable wheelchair cushion from Drive Medical which has the same great pressure reduction and adjustability features as other air based cushions - but for almost $200 cheaper. The Balanced Aire is composed of inflatable air cells that contour to your body in order to distribute pressure evenly throughout the cushion. With both a 2” low profile and 4” thick option starting at just over $200, the Balanced Aire blows the competition out of the water with comparable features at a rock bottom price.

Stripping things down a bit at number four - the ROHO Mosaic cushion proves that air based cushions can truly compete with other budget options. The simplified Mosaic adjusts to your shape, weight, and positioning while still being effective for those at low risk of skin degradation. And at just over $100, the ROHO Mosaic easily won our pick for the best value in the air category.

Coming in at number three is the ROHO High Profile Single Compartment wheelchair cushion which sets the standard for pressure reducing technology. At 4.25” tall, the High Profile’s lightweight air cells distribute pressure evenly while the negative space between them allows for heat dissipation - which means less sweating and thus less risk of skin deterioration. Its attractive cover is durable, machine washable, and makes it easy to understand how the cushion is oriented. At $450, the ROHO High Profile Single Compartment wheelchair cushion is a great choice for anyone who needs a durable cushion that maximizes pressure relief.

Switching things up at number two is the Vicair Vector X wheelchair cushion from the Comfort Company. Inside each of the Vector’s ten compartments, you’ll find pre-filled tetrahedronal comfort cells which means you won’t need to constantly refill the cushion with air and that adjusting the cushion is as simple as moving the cells from one compartment to another. You can even make gradual adjustments to each chamber as your positioning needs change. The Comfort Company’s two fantastic cover options round out this incredibly adjustable cushion which at just over $300 became our pick for the most advanced wheelchair cushion in the air category.

And finally, our pick for the best wheelchair cushion in the air category goes to the ROHO Contour Select wheelchair cushion which takes the same technology from the High Profile cushion to new heights. First, the cushion is divided into 4 quadrants that can each be inflated to different levels of tension while the complex-sounding but simple to operate ISOFLO Memory Control Unit lets you easily adjust air distribution between them. The individual air cells then distribute pressure evenly within each quadrant to totally immerse your posterior. Finally, the cells are contoured to keep your pelvis centered and stable in an upright, aligned position. An incredible cover and a price of just over $350 wrap up the ROHO Contour Select Wheelchair Cushion in a package that not only dominated the air category but became our pick for the best wheelchair cushion overall.

So there you have it, our picks for the five best wheelchair cushions in the air category.

But choosing the right wheelchair cushion is a deeply personal decision so be sure to check out our other reviews and buying guides for more information so that you can make the best choice for your wheelchair cushion.
