Ride Designs® / Aspen Seating

Ride Designs is committed to creating wheelchair seating systems that help protect skin, enhance mobility, improve function, and optimize posture. A properly fitted Ride cushion and back work together to help manage skin risk. A Ride seating system also helps boost postural control and stabilize the pelvis and trunk, often resulting in increased confidence, performance, freedom of movement, and ease of use. Our systems approach is one reason why so many informed and discerning wheelchair users choose Ride. Unlike any other wheelchair seating manufacturer, our products are developed, tested, provided and proven through our own Aspen Seating Clinic. Founded by Joe Bieganek, Orthotist, ATP, and Tom Hetzel, Physical Therapist, ATP in 1998, the Aspen Seating Clinic served with only the toughest of seating cases -- where all other interventions had failed. As the Aspen Seating Clinic grew so did the demand on their products and services outside the Denver, Colorado area. Ride Designs, a branch of Aspen Seating, was created to harness and patent the unique elements of the Aspen Clinic's seating systems and to expand access into a broader market. Ride Designs seating systems are now recognized internationally for their ability to manage the broadest range of seating issues, for all ages, with seating needs ranging from simple to complex. Ride Designs products include the Ride Custom Cushion and Back, Ride Custom Cushion 2, the Java Cushion and Back, Java Decaf Back, Forward Cushion and Corbac Adjustable Back Support. Introduced in 2017, RideWorks™ is a new process to capture Ride Custom Cushion and Back shapes. It's a fast, clean, intuitive, and incredibly accurate way to capture a client’s shape and then securely transmit all information, including photos and forms, needed to complete a custom order.
