Warning!
Your tailbone and pelvic bones should
not touch the bottom of the cushion. Checking
for “bottoming out” should be done during first
use and after adjustments to the cushion filling.
Warning!
Vicair B.V. recommends to adjust the
filling grade under the direct supervision of your
therapist or technical advisor.
• Check for bottoming out, after sitting on the
cushion for approximately 5 minutes.
• Let your therapist or technical advisor slide a
hand between your buttocks and the Vicair

• Ask your therapist or technical advisor to
check if your lowest bony prominences are
supported by at least 2,5 cm / 1” of

touching the wheelchair seat.

grade of the compartments will solve the
problem.
