The Only Wheelchair Cushion With Clinical Data on Healing
Aquila wheelchair cushions are the only alternating wheelchair cushions on the market with clinical evidence to demonstrate healing results. We have documented case studies, clinical reports and articles in peer reviewed medical journals. A case study written by a physician, Dr. Barry Farr,
“Infectious Diseases in Clinical Practices” – Dr. Barry M. Farr MD, MSc
documented the condition of Dr. Farr’s boils after alternately using an Ease wheelchair cushion and an Aquila wheelchair cushion. The study showed the Aquila wheelchair cushion far superior to the Ease cushion. The Aquila cushion improved Dr. Farr’s boils while the Ease cushion made them worse. Even though our wheelchair cushions are specifically built to help heal pressure sores, it is interesting to see another physical benefit which resulted from using our wheelchair cushions.
If you suffer from pressure sores, choose the only alternating wheelchair cushion that has been clinically proven to improve pressure sores, Aquila wheelchair cushions. Fill out the order form today and let us build a cushion just for you.
Discontinuation Notice:
Effective 1/1/2023, the Airpulse PK2 Seating System and associated accessories will be discontinued and unavailable for purchase.
Aquila Corporation will continue to service existing Airpulse PK2 Seating Systems and control boxes through the existing RMA process. Current clients with existing APK2 systems can purchase replacement cushions only.
Effective 1/1/2023, the SofTech Seating System will be the only Aquila Seating System available for purchase. As more and more people gravitate to the SofTech Seating System, Aquila has made the decision to end production of the APK2. The SofTech Seating System functions in the same manner as the APK2 system and can be made in any shape and for any client weight. Without air hoses and an external control box, the SofTech’s completely self-contained design is aesthetically pleasing and user-friendly. When purchasing a SofTech, you will have a choice of a Sensor Auto-Start SofTech or a Manual-Start SofTech with a rocker on/off switch.
Please contact Aquila Corporation with any questions.
Alternating Wheelchair Cushion Technology Makes Sense
Consider the medical protocol after a flap surgery. Medical professionals recommend and sometimes require an alternating mattress be used by the patient to prevent relapse once the patient is sent home. An alternating mattress interrupts the constant pressure to the body and stimulates circulation which is what is needed to avoid pressure sores. Doesn’t it make sense to continue medically prescribed therapy and use a custom built alternating wheelchair cushion once back in your wheelchair?
If you use a motionless static wheelchair cushion at home, every passing minute has your body weight pressing down on your pelvic bones compressing the tissue beneath. That is the primary cause of pressure sores. This is true for any static cushion be it foam, air or gel. The circulation is cut off and cells begin to die resulting in pressure sores. That’s why with static wheelchair cushions medical professionals recommend pressure lifts or heavy leaning side to side every 20 minutes in an effort to relieve pressure and avoid pressure sores. That strenuous work is not necessary with our wheelchair cushions.
Aquila alternating wheelchair cushions are much smarter and infinitely easier in ensuring pressure relief 60 times per hour. Our wheelchair cushions work all day long on your behalf replacing wheelchair push-ups and leaning, and are the best cushions for both preventing and treating pressure sores.

What Others Are Saying About Aquila Wheelchair Cushions
“When other wheelchair cushions have failed, I can always depend on Aquila Corporation to provide the absolute best custom-made wheelchair cushions available anywhere. Their innovative design offers the highest level of skin protection and pressured distribution that my clients need to remain active, and to avoid being bedridden due to their ongoing struggles with pressure ulcers. I’ve seen time and time again how these wheelchair cushions have given wheelchair users the freedom to remain seated for greater periods of time because they now have the circulation and offloading where they need it the most. In short, the cushions that Aquila Corporation offer can change lives for the better.”
