Crescent
Option
 
£10.00 (VAT exemption available)
Wheelchair Cushion Crescent DiagramOnce your wheelchair is fully open, with the seat section pushed down and locked into place, the seat base should be fairly straight, level and stiff. This is usually the case on most modern wheelchairs, which often have an additional seat base tensioning system.
Some older, or wider wheelchairs, may still have a pronounced curve or 'sag' in the seat base, even when they are fully open.
No one should sit on a wheelchair cushion which is bent into an unnaturally curved shape by an unsupportive seat base. This can be bad for your hips and back. So, to counteract the 'sag'  found in some wheelchair seat bases, you can ask for a 'crescent' when ordering our wheelchair cushions. The crescent is a specially-shaped piece of foam, which is glued to the bottom of your wheelchair cushion foam, before a fitted cover is made and put on. Be sure you need a crescent before ordering one as part of your cushion. If you can, ask the advice of a physiotherapist, occupational therapist or wheelchair technician.
If you are unsure about ordering a crescent, as a permanent part of your cushion, or you use different wheelchairs now and again, you might prefer to order a separate crescent shape, in its own zipped, wipe-clean cover, to use as and when required.
When you order a separate crescent shape you will have to tell us the width (A), depth (B) and height (C) you need (see illustration above).
 

All of the above wheelchair cushions come with:

  • a zipped black waterproof Polytran cover (for cleaning: wipe outer cover with hot water and mild detergent, or remove foam blocks and wash cover at 60 C. Briefly tumble dry cover on warm setting only.)

  • an interior lined with a waterproof membrane as standard

  • 12 month warranty against defective manufacture

Larger sizes can be supplied. Email us for a price.

Click here to help you decide which wheelchair cushion is the best for you.

Please enter the size of wheelchair cushion (in whole inches, e.g. 20" x 18") you require in the Additional Information box on the Customer Details page - for an EXAMPLE click here. Also if you require a crescent then supply the three dimensions in the same place, as described above in the section on "crescents".

All cushions comply with Furniture & Furnishings (Fire Safety) Regulations 1988/89 Schedule 7 & 2.

Putnam Rest-a-Head
 

The Putnam Rest-a-Head

Ingeniously designed neck and head support

    

The Putnam Rest-a-Head Neck and Head Support
The cover is a hard-wearing cotton needle cord.

The Putnam Rest-a-Head neck and head support, will work on almost any high-backed chair or sofa.

The Rest-a-Head is fully-adjustable up or down for individual comfort and support (just gently raise or lower the pillow by hand and and the counter-weighted strap over the back of your chair or sofa will do the rest). The depth of neck and head support can be adjusted by opening a hidden zip and removing some of the padding.

You could also try the Rest-a-Head as a neck support while sat up in bed, simply place the Rest-a-Head strap over the back of your headboard. It can also be used on electric-sit-u-up beds. Car drivers and passengers can also benefit from this product. The weighted strap can be fed through the metal pillars of a car seat headrest.

  

Rest-a-Head Adjustment

Rest-a-Head Adjustment

 

The Rest-a-Head contains a unique and simple self-adjustment comfort system. Each end of a Rest-a-Head has an oval-shaped piece of foam which gives its special shape. Between these 2 shaped end sections there is a tightly-rolled length of dacron fibre. This roll of fibre is sometimes a bit too densely packed for some people to use the Rest-a-Head straightaway (because we don't want to be accused of not putting enough filling in!).

If you find the Rest-a-Head too firm, then to obtain the most comfort benefits, we suggest you unzip the pillow case, find the end of the fibre roll and tease out anything from 6" to 12", maybe more, then snip it off. When you re-roll or re-adjust the fibre roll's density it will feel a little softer and fit the nape of your neck to just how you like it. But don't throw away any fibre you have snipped off, as it could come in handy if you ever want a little more neck support and the pillow needs to be plumped up again.
