Seat Wedge

Device Applications

This wedge is a custom positioning device designed to provide support and improve body alignment during seated or reclined activities. Its angled surface can help position a user more comfortably, provide additional postural support, or accommodate individuals who have difficulty maintaining a desired position independently. Because the dimensions can be modified during fabrication, the wedge can be customized to meet an individual user’s positioning needs.

Building Process

The wedge was constructed from tri-wall cardboard, using a folded outer structure reinforced with internal cardboard supports. The pieces were measured and cut to create the desired angle, then joined using hot glue and white glue to form a strong, stable structure. Internal supports helped distribute force throughout the device, while the exterior edges and corners were finished to create a smoother and safer final product.
