Thick presssure-relieving cushion.
I purchased the extra-large purple double seat cushion directly from the company. The extra-large version is wider and longer, but is otherwise the same. This is a very good pressure-relieving seat cushion. Anyone who sits for a long time and has noticed numbness or pain spots on their bum would do well to use one of these cushions. The cushion is reversible, with a soft side make with larger squares, and a firmer side made with a more dense pattern of smaller squares. I have been using the cushion for several days and it has definitely eliminated pressure points on my bum. Time will tell how long the cushion will last, but given its construction, I would say likely a long time. It comes with a cover of thin, flexible material for optional use. One side has thicker material with small bumps to reduce slippage, but I have used the cushion on both sides and the material feels fine either way.<br /><br />I give this cushion 4 stars instead of 5 because 1) It is very thick which will change how a chair will fit your body. I had to lower my chair, raise the back and add a lumbar support pillow. Used on my recliner, it raises the seat position high enough that the built-in chair headrest feels a bit too low. 2) The front edge of the cushion, unlike other versions, has no contour, so there is some pressure on the bottom of your thighs at the edge of the cushion. This might be improved by just cutting some of the pad with scissors to create a contoured front, but it would have been better if that was a feature.<br /><br />Because of the thickness and absence of contouring, I am thinking of getting the Royal purple pad version: less thickness and contoured.<br /><br />I don't know how this compares with other cushions, but it does do an excellent job of relieving pressure points, and anyone having issues with that should get a pressure-relieving cushion such as this one. I tried a couple of different conventional chair pads with poor results.<br /><br />11/29/2020: I've increased the rating to 5 stars because this cushion still works so well. One end of the cushion is mildly thinner. I tried this toward the front and the back. I like it towards the front since it eliminates pressure on the bottom of my thighs. I no longer use a lumbar support. I think simply adjusting the back height of my chair fixed any issues there. The cushion hasn't shown any signs of flattening or wear, which is surprising since I use it a LOT. Even the covering, which seems thin and maybe a bit fragile, hasn't failed nor does it look worn. So, I am really glad I bought this extra-large deluxe version and it is holding up amazingly well. It works far better than any other pad I have ever tried.
Rating: 5 stars
