Indispensable for 'pressure sores'...
My 90-year old father is nothing but skin and bones and was weighing in at a mere 106 lbs. His scanty weight coupled with a severe curvature of his spine due to advanced osteoporosis resulted in the development of pressure sores along his spine and on his buttocks, sores that refused to heal.<br /><br />We purchased 2 of these cushions for him, one for his back and one for his rump, and within a few days his pressure sores were already beginning to heal. He uses them every day now, all day, even sleeps on them. His sores have completely healed up and no additional sores have developed.<br /><br />These cushions have 'handles' which makes carrying them from room to room very convenient. My only complaint is that I wish the covers encasing these cushions were thicker and more durable, and perhaps constructed of a fabric less likely to pill (perhaps cotton canvas instead of thin polyester?). Otherwise they're perfect and indispensable for an elderly person with a tendency towards pressure sores.
