Comfiest I've found
I would just like to start out saying that Purple's customer service has been amazing! Jeni specifically was the representative that helped me and she was very attentive and responsive to my concerns. When the cushion arrived there seemed to be a few splitting marks at the edge of each side and when I showed photos she went ahead and sent me a replacement. I also did not need to go through the hassle of returning the defective one.<br /><br />I've used this cushion now for about two months and I've tested two other cushions from amazon (knock off's) as well as the ultimate and royal cushion from Purple, both of which weren't for me since they were extremely too firm. I am around 125lbs and petite, so unfortunately they both felt like i was sitting on a wooden chair. The knock off's were extremely thin and it was like i was using nothing so i returned those as well (learned that not all gel cushions are made the same). For the double cushion, it was the only one that made me feel a difference! It is plush and actually DID something. I am using it on a office chair handed down to me that has lost its cushioning so it was like sitting on cement, I needed something to hold me over before i can buy another office chair, and for me the double cushion sufficed. Now it didnt change my life and take away the pain completely, as I unfortunately still feel pain in my lower back/tailbone (but that could also be because of no lumbar support from my office chair so i don't want to put the blame completely on the cushion) and after 30 minutes to an hour of sitting i do have to reposition myself or stand up from my chair as I still do feel pain. That being said, it is usually recommended to get up and move around every 20 minutes or so of sitting so with that in mind it may actually be helping me! Using the cushion with an office chair that has more cushioning than my current chair may improve its efficacy though. I am using the smaller waffle side up and the larger side down, I believe they state for harder surfaces you should be using the smaller squares on the bottom but i felt more cushion with it facing upwards. Our bodies are all so different, so this may be comfier for you than it was for me or it may do nothing, so I would suggest trying it and then deciding! Hope this helps!
