Need custom seating that doesn’t require a captured shape or a scan?
Ride’s got your back!
The Ride® Custom Back is the CRT industry’s superior solution for exacting support for the widest range of needs.
Ride’s shape capture process allows the Custom Back to be made to fit virtually any size and contour and remains the best method by which to order the Ride Custom Back for clients who present with significant postural asymmetries and require substantial support to maintain optimal posture.
The innovators at Ride Designs® understand there are cases that call for the ability to order a Ride Custom Back without the need to physically capture and scan a client’s shape. For example:
- Clients who may have been considered for custom linear/planar seating.
- The Ride Custom Back provides a better shape, a more intimate fit and is easier to clean than traditional custom linear/planar seating.
- Unlike traditional linear/planar seating the Ride Custom Back is adjustable in all planes.
- Clients who present with unique postural deviations that can be corrected or accommodated with seating that has a universal contour, but require other lateral dimensions and positions that are customized and not available with a prefabricated back support.
- Clients who are unable to participate in or tolerate the shape capture process for the scanned method.
- Clients who require precise adjustability in the back hardware for proper alignment and support.
We are passionate in our belief that every person who needs custom wheelchair seating to help protect skin, enhance mobility, improve function and optimize posture should have access to the industry’s best – Ride custom seating.

The finished product:
When a Ride Custom Back is ordered using client measurements and finished product dimensions, we’ll build the same, industry-leading 3D printed Ride Custom Back that would be made from a scanned shape, with AccuSoft foam liner. (Spacer mesh liner is only available on a Ride Custom back made from a scanned shape).
- Most other options and customizations available on a Ride Custom Back made from a scan are available on a Ride Custom Back made from measurements.
- The manufacturing method, pricing, and part numbers are all unchanged.
* Clients who present with significant postural asymmetries and require substantial support to maintain optimal posture will do best with a Ride Custom Back made from a captured shape that is scanned and submitted to Ride.
The Ride Custom Back works best when paired with a Ride Custom Cushion!
The Ride Custom AccuSoft Cushion can also be ordered from measurements rather than a scan and is available without Ride Designs Certification. Learn more here.
