- Standard seats
• Nylon upholstery seat with or without Velcro fastener : the
Velcro fasteners are required for the proper positioning of
the cushion (photo 1) ; please make sure that the cushion is
properly positioned on the seat.
• Padded seat : it provides comfortable support to the user.
i
Standard seats are not adjustable; in the event that they
become slack, it is recommended to request your dealer to
replace them.
!
Always use upholstery equipped with Velcro fasteners
when you have a cushion in order to prevent sliding. Adding
a cushion to the seat will raise your height above the ground
and can affect your stability in all directions. If a cushion is
changed it may also change the users stability.

Invacare provides a wide range of seat cushions adap-
ted to your needs. Please contact your dealer.
