Drive Medical Wheelchair Seat & Back Cushion Kit
Model: 14880KIT (16") / 14887KIT (18")
Availability: In Stock
All-Day Wheelchair Comfort for Your Seat and Your Back
A standard wheelchair sling seat and back can leave you sinking, slouching, and sore after a few hours. The Drive Medical Seat & Back Cushion Combo Kit upgrades both at once: a molded foam seat cushion for firm, stable support and a lumbar back cushion that supports your lower back and encourages better posture.
The seat cushion’s high-resilient molded foam helps with stabilization, positioning, and pressure reduction, and its removable zippered cover is water-resistant with a non-slip bottom to help keep it in place. Both cushions meet the TB117 flammability standard. Choose the 16" kit or the 18" kit to match your wheelchair’s seat width.

Equipment Specialist Insight: Most standard wheelchairs come with fabric sling upholstery that sags over time, letting the hips slide forward and the pelvis tilt—which leads to slouching and back discomfort. A firm molded seat cushion creates a stable base, and a lumbar back cushion fills the gap behind the lower back, working together to keep the user upright. Buying them as a kit ensures the seat and back are sized to match. This general-use kit is designed for users at low risk of skin breakdown; anyone who sits for long periods with limited ability to shift weight, or who has a history of pressure injuries, should ask a clinician about a skin-protection cushion such as gel or air.

Who is it suitable for?
