Editors comments
One version is available that is contoured to the body (StimuLITE Contour). The contoured seat has a pressure equalizing area to surround the sitting bones and tailbone as well as thigh support and leg separators for good positioning.

One advantage of the cushion is that it cannot break without the user noticing it. Some anti-decubitus cushions are filled with air. It may be difficult for someone who does not have any sensation to notice if the cushion breaks.
