Overview
ROHO Mosiac Cushion
The ROHO MOSAIC Cushion is a lightweight, adjustable air-cell wheelchair cushion designed to provide everyday seating comfort and basic skin and soft tissue protection. Its interconnected air cells create a responsive seating surface that conforms to body contours while allowing air to move throughout the cushion as position and weight distribution change.
The MOSAIC uses larger interconnected air cells and a simple single-valve inflation system, making it straightforward to set up and adjust. Depending on the selected size, the cushion measures approximately 2.5 to 3 inches thick and is available in six common wheelchair seat dimensions.
Unlike many ROHO cushions constructed from neoprene, the MOSAIC is manufactured from durable, non-porous polyvinyl material. Its air-filled cellular construction provides mild immersion while maintaining a lightweight design that is practical for everyday wheelchair seating.
The ROHO MOSAIC is available with either a Standard two-way stretch cushion cover or a Heavy Duty cushion cover, allowing the cover style to be selected according to the seating environment and desired level of protection.
Key Features
Interconnected Air-Cell Design
Large air cells are connected throughout the cushion, allowing air to move between the cells as weight and seated position change. This creates a seating surface that can respond dynamically rather than maintaining a fixed shape.
Adjustable Inflation
The amount of air in the MOSAIC Cushion can be adjusted using a compatible ROHO hand pump. Proper adjustment allows the cushion to provide the intended level of immersion and support.
Approximately 2.5 to 3 Inches Thick
Depending on the selected size, the MOSAIC measures approximately 2.5 to 3 inches thick, providing a moderate cushion height suitable for general wheelchair seating applications.
Lightweight Design
The air-filled polyvinyl construction keeps the cushion lightweight, making it convenient to remove for cleaning, inspection, inflation adjustment, or transfer between compatible seating surfaces.
Conforms to the Seated Shape
The interconnected air cells allow the seated surface to settle into the cushion and conform around body contours, providing mild immersion and a responsive seating surface.
Basic Skin and Soft Tissue Protection
Permobil designs the MOSAIC as a general-use cushion that provides basic preventative skin and soft tissue protection while maintaining an affordable and easy-to-use air-cell design.
Flowing-Air System
The MOSAIC uses a flowing-air design rather than separate independently controlled compartments. Air moves throughout the interconnected cells to accommodate changes across the seating surface.
Durable Polyvinyl Construction
The cushion is manufactured from durable, non-porous polyvinyl material that can be cleaned and maintained according to Permobil's care instructions.
Choose Your Cushion Cover
The ROHO MOSAIC is available with your choice of a Standard Cover or Heavy Duty Cover. Both are designed to protect the air cushion while allowing the MOSAIC to function as intended.
Standard Two-Way Stretch Cover
The Standard Cover is the traditional ROHO cushion cover option and uses a two-way stretch design. The flexible textile enclosure protects the cushion while allowing the air cells to move and respond beneath the cover.
The Standard Cover is a practical choice for routine wheelchair seating applications where a lightweight, flexible cushion cover is preferred.
Heavy Duty Cushion Cover
The Heavy Duty Cover provides an additional level of protection for the MOSAIC Cushion. Permobil's Heavy Duty cover design uses a more durable, fluid-resistant textile construction intended to provide a protective barrier around the cushion.
The Heavy Duty Cover is particularly useful when greater durability or additional protection from moisture and incontinence is desired. It maintains the flexibility needed for the air cushion to function while providing a more protective exterior than the standard cover.

FAQ's
What is the ROHO MOSAIC Cushion?
The ROHO MOSAIC is an adjustable air-cell wheelchair cushion designed for general-use seating. It uses interconnected large air cells that allow air to move throughout the cushion while providing comfort, mild immersion, and basic skin and soft tissue protection.
Is the ROHO MOSAIC a wheelchair cushion?
Yes. Permobil classifies the MOSAIC as an E2601 General Use wheelchair seat cushion.
What is the ROHO MOSAIC made from?
The MOSAIC air cushion is manufactured from durable, non-porous polyvinyl material. This differs from many ROHO HIGH, MID, LOW PROFILE and SELECT Series cushions that use neoprene construction.
How thick is the ROHO MOSAIC Cushion?
The MOSAIC measures approximately 2.5 to 3 inches thick depending on the selected size and configuration.
What sizes are available?
The ROHO MOSAIC is available in six sizes:
- 16" x 16"
- 16" x 18"
- 17" x 17"
- 18" x 16"
- 18" x 18"
- 20" x 18"
What is the weight capacity of the ROHO MOSAIC?
Permobil specifies a maximum user weight of 315 pounds for the MOSAIC Cushion.
Is the ROHO MOSAIC adjustable?
Yes. Air can be added or removed through the inflation valve using a compatible ROHO hand pump. The inflation level should be set according to Permobil's adjustment instructions.
How does the MOSAIC air system work?
The cushion uses interconnected air cells. Air can flow between the cells as pressure and weight distribution change across the seating surface.
Does the ROHO MOSAIC have ISOFLO Memory Control?
No. The MOSAIC does not use the ISOFLO Memory Control found on products such as the ROHO QUADTRO SELECT. It uses a simpler flowing-air design with interconnected cells.
What is the difference between the Standard Cover and Heavy Duty Cover?
The Standard Cover is a flexible two-way stretch textile cover designed to protect the cushion during normal use.
The Heavy Duty Cover provides a more durable, fluid-resistant protective exterior and is designed for applications where additional moisture protection or longer-lasting cover construction is preferred.
Does changing the cover change the cushion itself?
No. Both configurations use the ROHO MOSAIC air cushion. The difference is the protective cover supplied with the cushion.
Is the Heavy Duty Cover waterproof?
Permobil describes its Heavy Duty cushion cover as fluid-resistant rather than completely waterproof. It is designed to provide an additional protective barrier against moisture.
Can the cushion cover be washed?
Yes. Permobil provides cleaning instructions for ROHO cushion covers. Covers may generally be machine washed on a gentle cycle with mild detergent and dried on low or no heat, or air dried. Always follow the instructions supplied with the specific cover.
How do I select the correct cushion size?
Measure the usable width and depth of the wheelchair seat and compare those measurements with the six available MOSAIC sizes. The cushion should sit properly on the wheelchair seating surface without being compressed by the frame or extending beyond the intended seating area.
Can the ROHO MOSAIC be used on a manual wheelchair?
Yes. The MOSAIC may be used with compatible manual wheelchair seating systems when the selected cushion size fits the seating surface correctly.
Can it be used on a power wheelchair?
Yes. The MOSAIC may also be used with compatible power wheelchair seating systems when the selected dimensions and seating configuration are appropriate.
What is the difference between the ROHO MOSAIC and ROHO LOW PROFILE Cushion?
The MOSAIC is an E2601 general-use cushion constructed from polyvinyl and has a 315-pound maximum user weight. The ROHO LOW PROFILE Single Compartment Cushion is a different product constructed from neoprene and classified as an adjustable skin-protection cushion under E2622/E2623.
What is the difference between the MOSAIC and QUADTRO SELECT?
The MOSAIC uses one flowing-air system with interconnected cells and is classified as a general-use cushion. The QUADTRO SELECT uses four independently controlled air compartments and an ISOFLO Memory Control designed to provide additional positioning capabilities and pelvic stability.
How often should the air level be checked?
The inflation level should be checked regularly because gradual air loss can occur during normal use. The cushion should also be inspected periodically for visible damage or changes in performance.
What warranty is included with the ROHO MOSAIC?
The ROHO MOSAIC Cushion carries a 12-month limited manufacturer's warranty. The cushion cover carries a 6-month limited manufacturer's warranty. Warranty coverage remains subject to Permobil's current terms and exclusions.
