There's Good & There's Bad
After reading a lot about this cushion both on Amazon and on the company's website I decided to give it a try. I read all of the reviews too - both the good and the bad. My review of this cushion is neither all 5 starr nor all 2-3 stars.<br /><br />There are some 5 stars qualities about this cushion:<br /><br />1. The comfort. I have had 2 back surgeries and wanted a cushion for my desk chair and also to take along with me on art related retreats. The comfort level of this cushion is excellent. I can see where you could sit on this for a long time and remain comfortable. The gel itself is also a bit cooling which I really like. NOT cold - just cool. I would definitely recommend this cushion for it's comfort - and that a big thing- and it's the main reason that I decided to try this particular cushion. I can have my foot tucked under my butt and my foot remains comfortable and doesn;t go to sleep. That's an excellent plus!<br />2.  The cover. This model comes with a nylon cover that will be easy to remove and wash. It fits very well, works great and looks good too.<br /><br />The 3 stars of what's good:<br />1.  The weight. I don't know exactly what it was that I thought this would be like but it IS heavier than I had expected. It's in the gel of course, and it makes perfect sense that it would not be aslight as either regular foam or memory foam. It's no bother to me and the weight would not be at all prohibitive for any but the frailest.<br /><br />The 1-2 stars of what is NOT so good about this cushion:<br />1.  I am not a very large person - neither heavy nor stick thin -, but this cushion is, indeed, a bit smaller than I would have liked it to be - especially for the price! It does not quite fit my aging office chair all the way around. My butt hangs off just a bit in the back and the cushion ends mid thigh ( I do have short legs). The size of this cushion could be deal breaker for some people I think.<br /><br />I can really see where larger people, or people who are using these cushions in their big rigs or larger car seats would find it a bit inadequate in size. It's really too bad because the cofort is there - but the size is a bit frustrating.<br /><br />I like it, but I think I will return it and try something else that will be a bit larger... I'm sad - I really like the comfort -- but I wanted to be able to 'sink' into this cushion the way you might i na generous chair and the size is just not here to allow that to happen. If this had been larger I would have bought a second one rather than make a return.
