Best solution I've found so far
Some history first is needed, I have a  herniated disc on lower back, hurts into my tailbone<br /><br />Sore lower back, sore behind, I even sit on a leather recliner, still didn't help<br /><br />A year ago bought an oval donut to try, put an ice pact inside the middle, relieved the pain, was ok<br /><br />Except the ice packs did damage to my skin on my seating area, red, itchy, miserable.<br /><br />Quit using ice packs, but oval donut by itself was too uncomfortable, causing me to look at other solutions<br /><br />I come across the purple seat, I decided on the large size, fits perfectly on my leather recliner<br /><br />First 3 days, my behind was already so sore, back as well. It came in 2 days, ty amazon<br /><br />I didn't enjoy sitting on this seat because of the honeycombed style, never sat on anything like this, but after sitting the first day, I noticed little pain in my back area, and lessened pain in my bottom area, so decoded to give it a week to see<br /><br />Plan was if I didn't like it I'd send it back, and try another seat, or use it along with another seat to alternate days using different products to find one that works and I enjoy sitting on it<br /><br />After 3 days it seemed to loosen up, or I got used to it, or both, but my butt improved everyday, and my back pain lessened a lot. It does not get hot like a regular seat. But not cool either, I missed having some coolness so I did this.<br /><br />I put a towel on my chair, a large flat  ice pack on the towel, and the purple seat on top off all of it.<br /><br />In about 10 minutes I feel some coolness, not enough to damage area like my other seating system, but feels so much better for me.<br /><br />I cant say if it's for everybody, but works fantastic to me, and seems well made, so I expect it to last, the ice packs I used are made with heavy material, blue strong covers, cost 11 bucks at a famous retailer. And I'm now set, and much happier,<br /><br />As with any new material you sit on, I'd say give it 3 days, my behind was so sore I thought I could never be happy sitting on gel honeycombs, but everyday I improved and got used to sitting on this, I still don't love sitting on honeycombs but it the best relieve for my soreness I've ever had.<br /><br />Now I can't imagine life without it, saved me from buying a new chair, wife and I are saving money for updating our home, or I'd try a few more seating with cooling gel and memory foam, just to see if there's a better option out there, and one day I will, but till then the royal purple helps greatly and is my saving grace, hope this helps.<br /><br />Remember other reviewers claim to send it back you pay shipping and restocking fee, so there's a price to pay to try it, so if you do at least give it 3 to 5 days because if I sent it back after the first day, idk where I'd be right now, I was so miserable.<br /><br />Glad I gave it a chance, love it, but it's not perfect, ty and gl<br /><br />Update, had this nearly a month now, used to it, have no problems sitting on a gel honeycomb now, still put an ice pack underneath the cushion, I will not be looking any further for a solution, I found it.<br /><br />Be careful of one thing is I have found I reclind my recliner  all the way back to take a nap woke up an hour and a half later and my butt was sore as heck so sit upright using this on a full recline when I'm taking a nap I have to remove the cushion.<br /><br />You can lay back some now but my leather recliner goes back a long way and I think it spread my butt cheeks and made everything hurt so I can recline about halfway and I'm OK with the cushion, full recline I remove the cushion  and I put it back when I sit upright again, I hope I explained well thank you and good luck
