When choosing an anti-bedsore cushion we must take into account our needs and the use that we are going to give it, for this reason there is a wide variety of cushions where we can choose the most appropriate one.

First of all, we must take into account the use that we are going to give it:

Sporadic use: these are the cases where a cushion is needed occasionally due to discomfort or postoperative, so a basic cushion will be enough, since it will not be used for a long time.

Everyday use: if you are going to use the cushion on a daily basis, you need a better quality, greater thickness and resistance.

Intensive use: these are cases where its use is continuous and the quality must be very high, since the appearance of bedsores will be very likely.

We must also take into account:

- Manufacturing material: We must decide if we want a waterproof cushion or with a softer fabric, which will also depend on the use that we are going to give it.

- Cushion shape: There are different shapes in the cushions: square, round with hole, square with hole, round horseshoe, square horseshoe, your choice will depend on the area you want to release pressure and protect it.

- User weight: Depending on the user's weight, a cushion with more or less density will be needed.
