About Wedge Cushions: Wedge cushions help prevent wheelchair users from sliding forward in their chair (sacral sitting) by positioning the pelvis in an anterior tilt with the knees slightly higher than the hips. This improves sitting posture and decreases pressure on the sacrum and coccyx, encouraging improved breathing, better head control, and better positioning for self-feeding.
