Your basic Ride cushion is about the same, or less, than a basic Roho.The
custom fit Ride cushions are more expensive as there's a fitting involved, then
the custom fabrication. But definitely worth the cost if they prevent you from
getting a pressure injury.

Thanks, Paul. So it's basically made of foam? Anyway, my problem seems to be on
the scrotum, which isn't exactly a bony protuberance.
This sounds expensive, too, but I'll definitely think about.

RIDE SYSTEM: You get your butt and hips mapped and wherever there
Aae bony prominences, the areas where wounds occur, the cushion is cut out so
there is no pressure, friction or touching. These bony prominences, just
float
and are free from pressure.
The cushion is individualized to you. Hope this helps.

Can anyone explain why the Ride cushion is different/better? I'm currently in
bed because of a scrotum pressure wound, and I've been using a Roho Quadtro for
the past several years (after many more years on memory foam cushions). Thanks,
everyone, for your wisdom and good advice.

Same here. Roho was fine when younger. Now it's Ride.

in my younger years as a quad I did fine on rojo and Jay cushions – –
pneumatic and gel respectively.
At 30 years post my body had had enough and I developed a sore that kept me in
bed for a year
I tried more than 20 different products on the market
the only cushion that worked dependably for long hours of sitting in with no
breakdown were the Ride Cushions. highly customized and highly durable and
absolute miracle workers in that it enabled me to go back to work and be more
active raising my kids

i bought one like this and it made me so unbalance that i could not sit on it.
i am thinking of designing and making my own cushion with cutout for groin area.
get really thick memory foam or other material and cut out a hole.
or use donut cushion with other material around it.
there is a cushion made that does have hole in middle but i think it is custom
made and/or you must have company measure & build it just for you.
there is no reason that so many wheelchair cushion companies cannot make a
cushion that pressure maps good and prevents pressure sores. no excuses.

One thing I was warned about this type of objects a long time ago was that,
while you are relieving pressure to the area in the middle, the outside rings
can be cutting off at least some blood flow to where you are relieving
pressure. Not saying that it shouldn't be used. Just say be careful.
