Foam/cusion

Hello

Hubby slips to the right hand side when sitting so I am looking for some sort of support that may help. He has a new chair we thought would help but not enough support. I have in my minds eye of a firm type cushion but cant find anything like that.

Anyone had similar problem to solve??

Thanks

Sheila

Hi Sheila,
Just thought I’d pop in and say there’s a cushion in the Parkinson’s UK online shop that may be suitable for your husband. You can take a look here: https://shop.parkinsons.org.uk/products/harley-comfort-ease-cushion.
I’m sure others will also be along with their suggestions soon.

Best wishes,

Sorry just picked up on the ref mentioned. The simplest solution would be some kind of wedge cushion but I would suggest you consider getting a full assessment, it is actually quite a complex problem and not uncommon, the solution can differ according to the root cause. An assessment would also give the best way to get a solution that will last. The DLF is a good source of neutral information on products they also have information and fact sheets which may help you if you want to find out more and/or don’t want to take the assessment route - if you have a decent shop nearby they can be a useful source for info and advice but you want a shop that wants to help and not the hard sell so be alert and don’t be rushed into a decision. Hope this helps a bit more.

We recently got some new sofa cushion foam made here. They cut foam to any size you need, so it should be possible for them to make what you need. Would advise calling if you’re unsure, we did and they were very helpful over the phone. I hope you manage to find a solution.
