Heavy guy enjoys this cushion
When the padding wore out on my pricey Steelcase Leap office chair - I scoured the internet for a butt cushion solution without needing to drop a lot of cash on a new chair which I figured out just wear out again.  I am a bit on the heavy side, about 230 lbs and I have found that foam/memory foam cushions out there just get squashed flat and do not provide the support or comfort that I need.  I thought long and hard before buying the Royal Purple Seat Cushion because I was extremely skeptical; I have never used a Purple product before, so I did not know what the material that they use on their products was all about.  I figured that the material is not memory foam so it might just be the solution I am looking for.<br /><br />Does the product work as advertised?<br />Yes, I have to say that the cushion is comfortable and has taken the pressure off my lower back.  I no longer feel like I am sitting directly on my spine which is exactly why I purchased this product.<br /><br />HOWEVER Please be aware that there is a 'break in' period for this cushion.<br />If you are on the heavier side, the edge of the cushion may press firmly against your legs causing them to go numb, which was a huge bummer as I thought this would not work out.  My advice is to elevate your legs on some kind of foot stool/rest (about 4 to 5 inches) so that your legs do not press against the edge of the cushion too hard and you do not experience the numbness.  After about 2 weeks of 'break in' time, the edges of the cushion have become softer and no longer dig into my legs causing the numbing effect.  The Purple Butt Cushion at this point is now perfect - So do not get discouraged if you get the product and experience this - persist and you will be rewarded with a great cushion.<br /><br />Even though I experienced the temporary 'break in' leg numbness, I still give this product 5 stars because I believe it is the best seat cushion solution out there.  In fact my wife takes the cushion off my chair all the time and uses it on her chair (I Guess I may need to get another one).
