“Pressure sores are often a seating problem before they become a skin problem.”

When considering pressure management, it’s important to look at the mechanics of the seating system - not just the skin.

There are several factors that can influence pressure, posture, stability and comfort:

Seat base & cushion
Tilt
Recline
Arm support
Leg support
Variation & movement
The user - including weight and body shape
Time spent sitting

Small adjustments can make a significant difference.

Good seating is about more than comfort - it’s about supporting the person safely over time.

At Sitwell Technologies, we look at the whole seating system to help identify where changes may be needed.

My wheelchair is my life💙

For many wheelchair users, their wheelchair is where they work, socialise, communicate and participate in everyday life.

Yet many people spend 8–16 hours a day sitting without ever having had a proper seating assessment.

Pain. Numbness. Pressure. Fatigue. Poor posture.
These can have a huge impact on comfort, function and independence.

That's why good wheelchair seating matters.
