Hi Emma,
I have a Varilite Solo, which is great. One word of caution; because it's filled with air, you have to be careful NOT to puncture it with the zipper on the cover it comes with. I did, quite by accident and so they wouldn't replace my cushion, and we had to mend it. http://www.varilite.com/where_dist2.aspx
Cheers,
Helen

Subject: Information on air-filled cushions?
Hi everyone,
I'm looking for information on air-filled cushions other than Roho, eg Syst'am PolyAir, Askle Sante Kineris & Optimair, Star Cushions. Has anyone used these cushions or know of any studies that have been done with them? We've only used Roho cushions, but now that the prices have increased beyond funding caps in come areas we're fielding questions about other brands. I'd appreciate any feedback you can offer!
Many thanks,
Emma.
