Great lumbar cushion, but don't leave it in a hot car exposed to the sun
This cushion is great for lumbar support; the gel structure is cooler and more resilient than a fiber-fill or memory-foam based product. I will likely buy another when I have extra income for other applications.<br /><br />I bought this with Purple's &#34;Portable&#34; cushion as their website suggests that cushion is good for tall people in small cars, though I didn't find that to be true. This back cushion however is a godsend for my Chevy Cobalt's poorly designed driver seat.<br /><br />Criticisms:<br />My advice to purple: Please document what the loops on the back of the cover are for. There is no indication or documentation I could find that describes what to use them for or how to use them, although I found some generic text referencing a &#34;handle&#34; on this cover, which seems to be left over from another cushion. Logic tells me these loops are to secure the cushion to the seat with elastic bands or straps.<br /><br />While this was sold as &#34;New&#34; direct from Purple's Prime store, it did not come in a box like the Portable Cushion. This bothered me because I hadn't selected &#34;no-hassle&#34; shipping and the other cushion came with information about it. The cushion isn't affected by this shipping decision, but I would have appreciated a heads up. Receiving it without the packaging made it feel incomplete, especially when shipped next to the portable cushion. I felt like it was missing important information such as &#34;Don't leave this in a 'superheated' car because it will deform if pressure is applied when heated above 105ºF&#34; and perhaps straps to keep it in place on a seat-back.
