History
-
The technology behind Airhawk seating began as cushioning for wheelchairs. People who remain seated for hours can find it to be uncomfortable and are susceptible to life-threatening skin ulcers. Robert H. Graebe invented the ROHO cushion, which uses, according to airhawk.net, "supple interconnecting air cells to allow a patient to virtually float on air." That technology was later developed into cushioning for truckers and later the Airhawk cushion for motorcyclists.
