Skil Care Bariatric Foam Positioning Wedge with Nylon Cover – Multiple Sizes
Skil-Care Extra-Wide Foam Positioning Wedge with Nylon Cover
A Gentle, Tapered Incline for Steadier, More Comfortable Seating
The Skil-Care Extra-Wide Foam Positioning Wedge creates a gentle incline that helps the user settle into and hold a comfortable upright seated position in a wheelchair, bed, or recliner. The foam body tapers from 4.5 inches at the back down to 3 inches at the front, tilting the seating surface slightly rearward so the person stays seated back in the chair rather than gradually sliding forward during long stretches of sitting. It is a simple, non-mechanical way to support better posture and day-to-day independence.
Every width in the series shares the same 18-inch depth and tapered profile, and the lineup runs from 20 to 26 inches wide to match wider wheelchairs and larger seating surfaces. The durable nylon cover resists moisture and wipes clean with a disinfectant cloth, and the lightweight foam construction makes the wedge easy to lift, reposition, or move between the chair, the bed, and the recliner as the day's routine changes.

Equipment Specialist Insight: Measure the seat width of the wheelchair or chair before ordering — the wedge works best when its width closely matches the seating surface so it stays put and supports the person evenly edge to edge. If the user splits time between a wheelchair and a recliner, size to the narrower of the two seats so one wedge can travel between them.

Q: How do I choose the right width?
A: Measure the width of the seat surface where the wedge will sit — between the armrests or side rails of the wheelchair or chair — and choose the wedge width that most closely matches it. A close match keeps the wedge stable and supports the person evenly across the whole seat.
Q: Which way does the wedge face?
A: Place the wedge with the taller 4.5-inch edge at the back of the seat and the lower 3-inch edge toward the front. This creates the gentle rearward tilt that helps the user stay seated back in the chair and reduces gradual forward sliding.
Q: How do I clean the cover?
A: Wipe the nylon cover down with a disinfectant cloth as part of your regular cleaning routine. Do not submerge the wedge in water or machine wash it, as this can saturate the foam core.
