The objective of this paper is to establish comfortable wheelchair cushion. The following materials were used in subjective experiments and body pressure distribution measurements:seat cushion with which material differs from specification is used 14 kinds.Twenty male and female subjects participated in the experiments and evaluated the cushions using 12 kinds of evaluation items by the SD method. In measuring body pressure distribution, measurement was set to every 20mmHg,The entire area, maximum pressure and average pressure of each cushion were measured. Next, each zone area of cushion material was considered.
