Does anyone know where I can get a decent backrest? the backrest that came with my Quickie Ti didnt last long and is saggy, I just orderd a standard thinking it would be the same as the backrest on my GPV, the one that came with my GPV is still going strong after 3years. I then bought a quickie tension adjustable backrest but i didnt like it as it was too narrow. I just bought a hand bike and need a backrest for my other chair as I cant keep swapping! I wasnt sure if they still made the tough material style backrest for the quickie! Any help would be much appreciated!

p.s has anyone ordered a backrest from www.covers-plus.co.uk

Everything will be alright in the end, if it's not alright then it's not the end!

I use the Corbac. It's amazing.

Lots of backrests to choose from there.

Thanks I will take a look. Although I'm phoning wheelchair services tomorrow about getting one through the NHS, May aswell try there first, atleast it might be free! =)
