Need advice on choosing a cushion for a Handcycle to prevent pressure sores

I just got done healing a very stubborn pressure sore. I am a t12 para complete on a Top End force g. I was using a 2” roho cushion when I got the sore. I don’t have much lower back muscle so I need to support it, My butt wants to slide down if I don’t strap myself, I think the rocking motion from the Handcycle caused me to get a sore. My back to my seat position is at 90 degree angle. Also, I have a stationary wheel that allows me to cycle at home, like a treadmill. I set my feet on the ground and not on the leg stands. Any advice as to the cushion that would work best for me and if my foot angle is the one causing the sore.
