At first glance, the Vicair Vector X Air from The Comfort Company may look like another molded foam wheelchair cushion. But when you look inside, you'll find that their proprietary comfort cells are actually a unique air technology that allow you to customize the Vector X Air like no other cushion on the market.
Inside each of the ten compartments, you'll find tetrahedronal comfort cells which are prefilled with air and designed to maximize shearing and minimize negative space while supporting users up to 550lbs.
So what does that mean exactly? It means the entire cushion adapts to your exact shape for a super comfortable seat. It means you don't need to constantly refill your cushion with a handpump and - most importantly - it means that you can add or remove cells from each compartment to fit your particular seating needs.
Have problems with coccyx pressure? Simply add or remove air cells to get the right fit. Need to compensate for pelvic obliquities? Heal pressure ulcers? Or maintain proper leg alignment?
You can adjust each of the ten compartments to get the perfect fit. You can even make gradual adjustments to each chamber as your positioning needs change.
Don't be intimidated by all of that customization though - once you've got it set up, the Vector X Air is pretty low maintenance compared to other cushions with air technology - you can set it and forget it.
The Comfort Company has a great range of cover options as well. Their Stretch-Air fabric is beathable and waterproof while their Comfort-Tek cover is extremely soft, waterproof, and easier to clean by hand. Both cover options can come with Comfort Company's optional GlideWear Shear Reduction Zone for increased breathability and a drastic reduction in stress on soft tissues.
At just over $300, the Vicair Vector X Air from The Comfort Company is the ultimate air-based wheelchair cushion for those with advanced positioning needs. If you like this technology but don't need quite as much flexibility with positioning, you may want to check out the Vector's sister model, the Adjustor, which has 5 compartments rather than 10.
