Frequently Asked Questions
What are custom-made seating solutions for wheelchair users?
Custom-made wheelchair seating solutions are individually designed to accommodate a person’s body shape, posture and support requirements. Unlike standard wheelchair cushions and backrests, bespoke seating can be shaped to provide more personalised postural support, stability and comfort. LCS Ltd manufactures custom seating solutions in Ireland, offering options including Carved Foam Seating (CFS), Moulded Seat Inserts (MSI), 3D-Printed Custom Seating and ReShell modular seating systems.
What types of custom wheelchair seating does LCS offer?
LCS offers several custom seating solutions to meet different individual needs:
-
Carved Foam Seating (CFS): Custom-shaped foam seating available in different densities, with pressure-relief options and made-to-fit covers.
-
Moulded Seat Inserts (MSI): Anatomically shaped seating created from detailed body impressions or scans to provide individualised support.
-
3D-Printed Custom Seating: Bespoke seating manufactured from the user’s scanned shape, with options for active airflow through WheelAir integration.
-
ReShell: A modular interface system designed to accommodate different types of custom seating, including carved foam, moulded and 3D-printed solutions.
The most appropriate option depends on the person’s posture, clinical requirements, wheelchair and daily activities.
Who can benefit from custom-made wheelchair seating?
Custom-made wheelchair seating may benefit children and adults who need more individualised support than standard seating can provide. This can include people with complex postural needs, asymmetrical sitting positions, difficulty maintaining a stable seated posture or specific pressure-management requirements. A clinical assessment helps determine whether bespoke seating is appropriate and which solution best meets the individual’s needs.
How does the LCS custom seating assessment and manufacturing process work?
The LCS process begins with an assessment of the wheelchair user’s posture, positioning, movement, transfers and individual requirements. Where moulded or scanned seating is appropriate, the user’s body shape is captured to help create a personalised seating solution. The information is then used to manufacture the seating, with the design and supporting components tailored to the agreed requirements. LCS works with healthcare professionals, wheelchair users, families and carers throughout the process.
Can custom-made wheelchair seating help with pressure management, heat and moisture?
Custom seating can incorporate features intended to support pressure management, posture and comfort. Depending on the chosen system, options may include different foam densities, pressure-relief materials and individually shaped seating surfaces. Heat and moisture can also be addressed through WheelAir active-airflow integration, available with applicable LCS custom seating solutions. The appropriate combination should be selected following an individual assessment; no seating system can guarantee the prevention of pressure injuries.
