I've had a Permobil C500 wheelchair with the corpus seating for the past two years. For several months now I have been getting pain in my tailbone. I have some people recommend either a Roho cushion or Jay cushion. Both are expensive and to my surprise both companies offer about 20 different cushions. I'd like to hear the opinion of some end users.
As a C2-C3 quadriplegic I use a ROHO High Profile, my chair is an Invacare TDX5. I have tried the Jay type cushion but had a few skin problems, but since I switched to the ROHO, I have had no problems at all. Hope this helps.

This one is too hard and it makes me ache from my knees to the middle of my back!
Get Roho. They are a tad expensive, but oh my, it is so wonderful. It is full of air and eliminates pressure sores (which is a problem with people who have to sit all day) and it is much more comfortable and doesn't make your back as sore. I am a paraplegic, paralyzed from the waist down, due to a drunk driver hitting me when I was three (I am now a teen). I just ordered a new wheelchair with a this new seat and it is so amazing. You should really consider it.

Wheelchair Accessories - Getting Loaded
Buying a wheelchair today is not very different from buying any other vehicle. There are basic “no frills” wheelchairs, which are perfectly capable of doing their jobs. Then there are the “loaded” wheelchairs, equipped with the buyer’s choices of the many wheelchair accessories choices now available to add remarkable levels of comfort and convenience to wheelchair use.
One of the big wheelchair comfort items is, of course, the seat cushion. A properly fitted and constructed seat cushion is one of the essential wheelchair accessories; a poorly designed seat cushion will exacerbate poor posture and can lead to pressure sores.
A good wheelchair seat cushion encourages correct posture, which is a must for those suffering from difficulty in swallowing or neuromuscular impairment. Correct posture also assists both circulation and respiration, so a well-designed seat cushion is one of the wheelchair accessories with multiple positive benefits.
