Shopping for cushion covers for wheelchairs can be overwhelming, especially with the variety of materials and designs available.
Cotton is a popular choice for cushion covers due to its breathability and durability, as seen in the "Materials" section.
If you're looking for a more water-resistant option, consider a cushion cover made from polyester or nylon, which can withstand spills and splashes.
When choosing a cushion cover, consider the size and shape of your wheelchair cushion to ensure a proper fit.

The Vicair O2 cushion's open structure makes it not necessarily required to use an incontinence cover, as any moisture or fluid can easily pass through the cushion.
An incontinence pad can be placed under the cushion to deal with fluids or moisture, and the cushion itself can be easily washed in the laundry machine.
