RohoHigh Profile Cushion- Single Compartment - 18.25" x 16.50" x 4.25"in.

So prior to my ROHO purchase, I've used a thick memory foam cushion at my home and office computer. Because of a medical condition, I lead a pretty sedentary lifestyle but I'm still able to get up and move around my house, go to the store, etc. Then I fell and broke my femur and went to a rehab facility for 2 weeks. After a couple days mostly sitting in a wheelchair, I developed a pressure sore and they provided the ROHO cushion that I ended up purchasing. The ROHO, coupled with Calmoseptine ointment healed the sore. When I came home, we had to spend a bit of money on adjustments to our house to get me situated, so I thought I could get by with just pillows or the foam cushion on my wheelchair. (I did snap a picture of the tag from the ROHO model at rehab just in case.) I was so uncomfortable and so wrong! I bought the ROHO and it came quickly via Amazon so I didn't have to be in pain for much longer. When it arrived, my husband inflated it and I sat down and "thought" because I was sitting on literally...air...that it would be fine. After a couple days, I was still uncomfortable - not as much as before - but couldn't tell if the cushion had the same feel as in rehab. Day by day, I let a little more air out so it actually sunk in a bit, and I feel it's even better than in rehab. You will have to adjust it to what feels best for you! I am working 60 hours a week sitting at my computer and more time in my wheelchair cooking (I am still progressing slowly and not 100% recovered yet) BUT no pressure sores or discomfort. Best of all, ROHO is made in the USA, as I have been trying to contribute to our country's livelihood more than ever. I know I was lucky to have "test-driven" this cushion before purchasing, but in my situation, it was a lifesaver.

I"ve dealt with the problem of pressure sores my whole life; born paraplegic and in and out of chairs all my life. Now in last 5 years, permanently confined. This is the BEST cushion I have ever used. and to me worth the cost. Other air filled and gel filled cushions worked okay, but still always had sores once in a while. Having the 4" height really helps, as I am 180 lbs so really need those 4" to allow enough space to let out enough air so that I really sit IN the cushion, not on it. With less than 4", by the time you get it soft enough to sink comfortably into, your butt is touching the seat top underneath the cushion. Sadly, most insurances won't cover, including Medicare, because it is considered 'luxury' item due to price. Yet, if you get a pressure sore, the insurance company will pay far more in medical costs to treat the sores, instead of paying for the cushion and preventing them in the first place. Sigh...Before you buy, go to the ROHO site, there are many variations of this basic design, do your research. There are multi chamber, recessed, inclined, bi-lateral versions, and different dimensions. Your needs may require a different design, and don't skimp, get the fitted slip cover. It keeps the air bladders from 'spreading' out. The sores I had for months on my butt prior to getting this cushion on the recommendation of my therapist, healed within two weeks. And since then have had NO pressure sores develop. It's an investment in your health; if you can afford it, get a ROHO.

It does the job it’s intended for

This the 2nd of two Roho cushions I purchased in the past few days and this new one has the same valve problem i.e. the valve turns to open and let you pump air into the cushion but will then refuses to close, allowing the air to slowly leak out. For this kind of money one should not have to deal with this valve problem, One valve, OK, maybe----but 2 in a row? Wise up Roho. A lot of money for a lot of trouble. I cant send it back as I don't have the money for a new one---AGAIN!!!! Besides. I have to have something to sit on even if I have to pump it back up every few minutes or so.I am in a quandary of great proportions! I guess this is what happens when you have "cornered the market", ---I'm just sayin'This is a retraction of the above statement with full apologies to Roho! This morning, out of sheer desperation, I took a pair of pliers and gave the valve in question one last "tweak" (rather a violent twist!) and whatever was preventing the valve from operating as it should was either dislodged or snapped, freeing the valve. Once again, my apologies to Roho, The cushion itself was never the issue, simply a stuck valve.Now I have my comfortable seat back and am as happy as a clam! (Do clams get happy?) Sorry 'bout that!

The Roho Cushion has been recommended to us by a Rx Healthcare nurse, to help my 96 year old husband recover from serious bedsores he contacted at a care center. We received the cushion on August 15, 2018. We also found out that it is not returnable. At the first use, we found out that even though we made sure that the valve was tightly closed, the cushion leaked and needed to be repumped. NOT GOOD AT ALL!! WE WSNT OUR MONEY BACK!! Paid almost $400.00 including tax. You can't expect us to keep a product that has been defective from the start!!…..and call is non-returnable!!

After having the low profile one for about 4 months,I debated getting this one. The cost was prohibitive to me,but alas I needed the seat to be softer and more importantly I was in need for less SHOCK AND VIBRATION to be received through to my back. This has been and still is a god send. The low profile was nice but that one is in my closet as a back up in the event of a catastrophic failure (i have a cat ,lol) , I cover the cushion with a blanket when i am out of my wheel chair.I also fill the seat about half full of air (surprising little, to get the best result ) I believe i sit about an inch to an inch and a half higher (almost a negligible amount ). As an example my armrests are still in the same place but shortened the legs by about an inch. The comfort level has been and still remains to be outstanding and worth every single penny. Were this one to fail I would and will order the exact same model. I will reluctantly use the low profile until the same one here comes to my door with great appreciation on my face.
