A cushion has at least one fluid chamber and at least one cushion conduit to enable fluid to be added to or removed from the at least one fluid chamber of the cushion. A management system for the cushion has a pressure sensor to measure a pressure of fluid in the at least one fluid chamber of the cushion and to transmit a sensor report with the measured pressure, a tube having a first end connecting to the cushion conduit, a second end leading to the pressure sensor, and a valve to enable fluid to be added to or removed from the at least one fluid chamber of the cushion through the cushion conduit and a processor to receive the sensor report, determine a pressure value of the at least one fluid chamber of the cushion based on the measured pressure in the sensor report, and generate a status indicative of the pressure value of the fluid chamber of the cushion.
