Poor execution of a good idea
This is a good idea poorly executed.<br /><br />1. The 2.5” height of the cushion changes your orientation with the seat and the floor. Because I’m so much higher up, the floor is further away so with my feet on the floor, the leading edge of the cushion digs into my thighs. It’s uncomfortable after just a few minutes. Purple should have tapered the leading edge. I’ll probably resort to cutting it myself with scissors. The change in height could also pose a problem as a cushion in a car—your head may graze the ceiling and the gas and brake pedals will be further away<br /><br />2. The divot for your tailbone is far too wide to take pressure off your tailbone. The cushion is divided lengthwise into thirds with the middle third stepped down, ostensibly to relieve pressure on your tailbone. However unless you’re fairly wide in the caboose, both your tailbone AND your sit bones will both rest inside the middle section, providing no relief. The way it’s supposed to work is your sit bones should rest on the higher two outsides with just your tailbone in the middle. So this will only really provide tailbone relief for wider cabooses.<br /><br />3. This is a surprisingly heavy seat cushion. My 10 lb cat feels lighter to carry so I’m not sure I’d consider this portable.<br /><br />4. The zipper cover that comes with the cushion is thin and cheap looking.<br /><br />5. Considering its flaws, it’s overpriced. There are very likely less expensive and better designed tailbone-relieving cushions out there.
