Subpar based on Expectations and cost.
I want to start by saying I am a heavy guy, 6'1" 350lbs, so I bought this with the expectations/hope that it would provide comfort and relief as I sit in an office chair for several hours a day. The office chair also has a memory foam aspect to it, which if anyone has used memory foam, it a) retains heat, and b) can be quite firm during extended use. The Purple Cushion was really thick, and I liked the sleeve that came with the Cushion, those are both a plus. Initially I thought it was really comfy, however, one of the advertised qualities was it's cooling features, which was absolutely not the experience I had. If anything it was quite the opposite. One of the biggest problems I experienced was I began to develop a soreness in my tailbone if I sat for anything longer than 90 minutes. I never had this problem with my office chair. One thing I will say is that when I tried it in the kitchen as an experiment with a wooden dining room chair I experienced very little of these problems I had with my tailbone/lower back. However, the heat issue was still present.<br /><br />Ultimately, I imagine if this product was half the price, I would be less disappointed than I am. I specifically targeted their "Halo" product, which I have now learned was a mistake. It is not entirely the money that is the issue, but compared to other options this one was one of the higher priced, and I chose the name brand over the other options that may or may not have had better reviews.<br /><br />The phrase, "It's not terrible" comes to mind, which is not meant at all to be a compliment. I know there are plenty of others who have had a great experience with this product, and that is why I gave it 3 stars, I don't believe in going lower than that unless the product is absolutely not good at all.
