## Make Everyday Life Easier with a Swivel Cushion

A swivel cushion is a truly ingenious invention and a helpful aid in daily life, as it makes transfers much easier, such as getting in and out of the car. Due to its smart and simple swivel function, many elderly and disabled persons use a swivel cushion for the car - but, of course, the cushion can also be used for many other purposes around the home.

Typically, the back and hips are twisted quite a bit when exiting a car, which can be both troublesome and inconvenient if you suffer from pain or reduced mobility. Fortunately, there is help available with a swivel cushion for the car – also often referred to as a swivel seat.

A swivel cushion is equipped with two layers that glide against each other, enabling the swivel mechanism. The bottom layer is always non-slip, so you can feel completely secure.

Here are some of the many advantages of a swivel cushion:

- Prevents injuries and reduces the risk of painful twisting
- Easy to transport
- Comfortable to sit on
- Affordable solution

## Find the Best Swivel Seat for You

At Seniorshop, we sell swivel seats for both seated and standing transfers. A good example of a seated transfer is – as mentioned before – when getting in and out of the car. With a car swivel cushion, it's best to have as flat car seats as possible. If your car seats are very molded, it is recommended to place a regular seat cushion underneath the swivel cushion to ensure optimal functionality.

However, although swivel seats are often used in cars, they are also a useful aid for many wheelchair users. Here, the armrest can be pushed up so that you can exit from the side using the swivel seat. This makes it easier, for instance, if you need to transfer from the wheelchair to the bed in a comfortable manner.

In a standing transfer, the user simply stands on the turntable, allowing the assistant to easily help rotate the person to the correct angle or position.
