Frequently Asked Questions

What are cushions and wedges used for?

They are designed to provide extra support, reduce pressure, and improve posture. Many people use them for seating comfort, rest, or recovery at home.

How do cushions and wedges promote better posture?

By providing support where it’s needed most, these products help align the spine and reduce strain on the back, hips, and legs.

Can cushions and wedges help with pressure relief?

Yes. Specialized designs reduce pressure on sensitive areas, which can help prevent discomfort from sitting or lying down for long periods.

Are cushions and wedges helpful during recovery from surgery or injury?

They can make recovery more comfortable by supporting healing areas, reducing strain, and promoting better rest. Always follow your healthcare provider’s guidance for positioning.

Are cushions and wedges covered by insurance?

In some cases, cushions and wedges may be covered by insurance when they are prescribed for medical use. Coverage depends on your plan and medical necessity. If you’d like, our team can check your benefits and help make the process simple.

How do I know which cushion or wedge is right for me?

Think about your main needs — comfort, posture support, or pressure relief. The right product depends on where you need support most and how you’ll be using it.

Can cushions and wedges improve sleep?

Yes. Wedges can elevate the upper body or legs for better rest, while cushions can reduce pressure points that disturb sleep.

How do I clean and care for these products?

Most have removable, washable covers. The foam should be kept dry and spot-cleaned if necessary. Always follow the care instructions provided with your product.

Who would benefit from using these supports?

People who spend long hours sitting, are recovering from surgery, or want better posture and comfort during daily routines can all benefit. They’re also helpful for reducing strain, improving rest, and making everyday activities easier.
