McKesson Seat Back Cushion for Wheelchairs, Standard, 18" x 17"

The McKesson Seat Back Cushion for Wheelchairs is designed to bring lasting comfort and proper positioning to wheelchair users who need reliable lumbar support. Constructed with high-density polyurethane foam, this back cushion contours to the natural curve of the spine, helping to reduce fatigue and pressure during long periods of seated use. Whether at home, in a care facility, or on the go, this cushion offers a supportive foundation for everyday wheelchair mobility.

A built-in stabilizing board insert sets this cushion apart from standard back pads by preventing the hammocking effect that often occurs with sling-back wheelchairs. This added structure keeps the seating surface firm and even, promoting better posture and spinal alignment. The cushion measures 18 inches wide by 17 inches deep, a standard size that fits comfortably into most manual and power wheelchairs.

For everyday practicality, the cushion features a stretch nylon cover that is low-shear, breathable, and fully removable for simple machine washing — an important feature for caregivers and users focused on hygiene and skin protection. Adjustable safety straps allow the cushion to be securely fastened to the wheelchair frame, keeping it properly positioned during transfers and daily movement. Together, these features make this wheelchair back support cushion a dependable choice for anyone seeking added comfort, stability, and support.
