MATRIX™ Manufacturer’s Instructions
Thank you for choosing The PostureWorks MATRIX™ wheelchair cushion. Please
familiarize yourself with the proper use and care of your new PostureWorks device.
If you have questions, or need further assistance, please contact us toll free at
1-866-860-5200; a representative will personally assist you.
All PostureWorks products should be used and purchased under the supervision of a
qualified healthcare provider; these products are not a substitution for proper
patient supervision and care.
INSTALLATION: The MATRIX wheelchair cushion must be the same width and depth
as the sling seat wheelchair upon which it will rest. Place the MATRIX wheelchair
cushion directly on top of the existing sling seat so that both of the lateral sides of
the cushion are evenly placed in the wheelchair.
The MATRIX is manufactured with a strap located at the rear of the device. This
strap helps secure the cushion to the wheelchair and prevent it from sliding off the
front of the chair under normal use. Wrap the MATRIX strap around the back of the
wheelchair, fasten the buckles to secure the strap, and tighten the strap so the
device is fitted tightly to the wheelchair.
The MATRIX is manufactured in various sizes to fit standard size wheelchairs. The
MATRIX should fit securely on top of the sling seat wheelchair with which it will be
used. If your PostureWorks device does not fit securely in the wheelchair, you may
need a custom size device. To order a custom size device, please call The
PostureWorks toll free at 1-866-860-5200.
ACCESSORIES: To prolong the life of your MATRIX wheelchair cushion, The
PostureWorks recommends using Dycem strips, or a similar barrier to cover any
exposed bolts on the sling seat of the wheelchair. Exposed bolts on wheelchairs
can snag the material on an orthotic wheelchair cushion and cause it to rip/tear.
To order Dycem strips, please call 1-800-458-0060.
CLEANING: The MATRIX can be cleaned using a mild detergent or water and wiped
clean with a damp cloth. The device can be dried with a soft dry cloth. This
product should be kept clean and dry. DO NOT IMMERSE OR SOAK IN LIQUID.
