Purple Ultimate Seat Cushion | Pressure Reducing Grid Designed for Ultimate Comfort | Designed for Gaming | Made in The USA

I have a lower back condition that was asymptomatic until I had an injury about 1 year ago, which made sitting in hard/firm chairs challenging. I'd sit in a bad chair for 1-2 hours and have pain for days. The price was steep, but so has been coping with recovery setbacks from trying to resume life.Good for car/vehicle travel, probably not other types:-Primarily using in my car, and it helps a lot, especially with long trips. I can sit for hours now, and before it was like 20-30 mins before pain started. Running errands is not a big deal now.-Seems like it is too wide for coach seats in airplanes, buses, trains, etc.Not so good for:-Basic office chairs, dining chairs. It is so wide it flops off the chair, and it seems like that would damage the produce long-term because the material is so dense and stretchy it pulls it down. People have complained about this.-Already cushy chairs/surfaces. I'm only 155lbs, and I think that is a factor. The cushion is dense, and it seems like if the couch cushion (or whatever the purple cushion is ontop of) is less dense/soft, the couch cushion will yield it's shape to body weight until it's density is "maxed out" then the purple cushion will start to yield its shape to the body. It's not a big deal, I had just read that some people liked to use it on their favorite chairs and couches, so I wanted to try and noticed this issue.Issue:-Way, way, way too wide for some people's bodies.-Should have smaller sized models with same height and technology, maybe options at 1/2 and 2/3 the current width and slightly shorter.-I know there are other models, but the widths are not significantly smaller to trade off the taller height of this cushion and the height is more important.-Because I have a back condition, I'd like to bring this with me on flights, to movies, and to meetings outside my office that can take hours, but it's just so freaking big, heavy, and floppy. If the company can bring the width down, it could be folded into normal size tote or shoulder bag and used more discretely. Tons of people live with back pain, it's helpful to have something that works for pain and works in most conditions.Tall people:If you plan to use this in your car only occasionally or in your spouse's car occasionally (e.g., you use their car for longer trips), test it out first to make sure you still fit. I'm 5'11" and drive a sedan. This has made it so I'm almost too tall for my car without reclining the seat, which I wouldn't want to do because then my neck would strain.

I have owned this cushion for about one year. I bought it to add extra cushion for an office chair that was losing support. It is, by far, the best seat cushion I have used. It is well constructed and truly supports where other, cheaper cushions collapse. Purple is well worth the money and I even bought a thinner version for my dining room chair. I think this would be a tremendous product for wheelchair users or those who have had an injury.Things to know: when first opened, the plastic has a strong odor. I set the cushion in my garage until the odor was gone. This is a HEAVY cushion so not one that you would use as a portable. It is three inches thick and raises your feet off the ground, so I use a small, low foot stool for proper alignment.This is a great product. You get what you pay for.

I felt the difference as soon as I sat down. I had a seat cushion, and I thought it was comfortable when I first got it, but as soon as sat down on this Purple cushion, I knew it was much better! It does make you feel like you're sitting in a booster seat at first, but the comfort makes it well worth it. This is the first day I've used it, and I have already noticed a difference when I get up from sitting. I don't have the aches I usually have. I should have gone with the Purple seat cushion at first! I love the mattress I have from them, and I would LOVE to have one of there new and approved mattresses.

I have some sort of injury in my hip; I think it's a tendon injury at my upper femur. My office chair really made it worse. I tried a new chair without help. I tried a memory foam seat cushion without help. (It just immediately flattened to be just as stiff as the seat.)The Purple Ultimate Seat Cushion helps a lot. The pain that I experienced after sitting for only an hour or so is 95% gone with this cushion. Notably, it doesn't just immediately crush and stay crushed. It rebounds immediately, which gives the impression of sitting in jello, but which I'm sure is the reason that my pain is basically gone. Almost anything else is quibbling. But:It's way bigger than I thought it would be. I was convinced when I saw it after it arrived it that there was no way it would fit between the armrests in my chair. It turns out that it does, but just barely. It's 21.5" wide. It will probably squish inward slightly. But make sure that it will fit your chair before you order.The cushion is about 2.5" thick. If you want your feet to touch the ground like they did before you got the cushion, make sure that your chair's seat can be lowered by 2.5". Same sort of thing goes for armrests: they need to be able to come up the same amount.Something about the cushion has changed my posture or something. Now my upper back hurts some. I suspect that I may need to make a lumbar support adjustment to my chair or maybe just get used to sitting differently. Regardless, it feels like that will go away.There's sort of a scoop in the cushion in the general coccyx area. It's about a 9"x9" area at the rear center of the cushion that's about 1.5" thick instead of about 2.5" thick like the rest of the cushion. I guess it's for coccyx relief, but that's not my problem and it feels a little odd with that gap back there. It gives me the impression that I'm sliding off of the back. That's a nitpick, though.Ultimately, it's made my hip pain almost disappear. Everything else is just negotiation.

The seat pad molds itself to your chair and torso and minimizes shear forces on your bottom. I don't use the cover because on the box it says that it contains carcinogens! When I have a chance, I will drill into this issue deeper and find out the risks. But even without the cover, the pad is mucho comfortable.
