How Kalogon Products
Have Changed Lives
Been meaning to do a thread about the Kalogon Orbiter smart cushion for a while now. I believe I was one of the first customers outside of the usa to get one and it’s the only smart cushion on the planet!
Not only does it improve posture, stability & redistributes blood flow. It connects to an app and you can easily adjust the cushion or alter settings with a touch of your phone screen. Machine learning and patent-pending air cell technology analyze pressure points in real time & AI helps cushion to adapt and redistribute weight intelligently. It connects to a small unit which easily mounts on your backrest well out of the way.
Ok that’s the technical stuff out of the way now to the meat and bones of this life changing device! The majority of wheelchair users rely on a ROHO cushion
which has served me well but they leak air frequently and have to be pressure checked daily to avoid pressure sores and it’s not reliable and it’s dated technology.
This is where the Orbiter comes into its own! Immediately upon sitting on it my posture was perfect & it sits my legs perfectly parallel and straight. You’ll notice a lot of wheelchair users legs look twisted or squashed together due to poor posture and lack of decent pressure relief, well that’s a thing of the past with this bad body!
Once connected and sinked with the app you have a few default presets but I suggest trying your own setup but immediately you’ll feel the support of the 5 air bladders under the foam. You can choose from 2 mins, 3 mins or 5 mins to redistribute the airflow, for peace of mind I suggest every 2 mins for redistribution.
Now this is where this cushion is unique because you can create your own presets I.e- I have any everyday setup and another preset for the gym which firms it up so I don’t bottom out. Basically a preset for every indoor/outdoor scenario you could think of.
This device has allowed me to get my life back after sepsis and osteomyelitis both caused by a faulty cushion and hospital negligence! This cushion is such a blessing and quite frankly the future for wheelchair users!! It’s allowed me to live a seated active life!

This cushion is amazing and allows me to sit in my wheelchair all day. To pressure relief, I usually lean on something in front of me or to the side of me. That’s not always doable depending on where I am. I am beyond thankful.
Ps. This isn’t an ad, just something that seriously changed my life for the better!!

Only a few pieces of technology have revolutionized my life as a wheelchair user as much as the Orbiter cushion has. From the immediate improvement in posture, the increased level of stability, and not to mention the pressure relieving and pressure sore prevention, I can’t believe I didn’t find this cushion sooner! The Orbiter has increased my independence, self image, and confidence tenfold. I truly can’t imagine going back to any other seating solution!
