Review: I have tried every combination of pillows and cushions to stop the discomfort of sitting for long periods at my computer and nothing worked until I tried this one cushion. It's firm enough to keep you supported, yet it yields enough to remain comfortable. No more pain! It does come with a slick cover, but I just put a cotton pillow case over it (I have the 16" size cushion) to solve that problem. I also have a low file cabinet next to my computer desk. I put a cushion on that so I can put my feet up and be totally relaxed while I "compute" the day away ( I do need to get out more for exercise!). This is great product!
Review: bought for my husband who is disabled,he has quite a few things wrong with his back, has arthriis all though his body and is in terrible pain, so bought this cushion to help relive the presure and hopefully ease the pain a little, very impressed, the gel makes such a difference, when my husband is able to sit in a chair the cushion makes it a little easier for him. well worth the money. would definitely recommend. great for the wheelchair as well

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by S***. on 1 September 2018*

I bought my first one of these 2-yr ago after reading lots of reviews. I decided to get it because reviewers said it didn't stay collapsed once you sit on it, but molds itself to your bottom for good support without pressure points . That is very true. Also, after constant use by an overweight 70+ person for a year, it's like new. This cushion has been the answer to setting on a hard or poorly cushioned chair for a long time and not having a sore butt, pain and aggravation due to spinal stenosis, or backache. It's often taken to meetings and to the theater. Unbearable seats are now comfortable. It has a silky blue side that does not make you hot but it is slippery, and a gray non-breathable side that won't slide but will make your butt sweat. It's usually used with the gray side down so it stays cool, yet one can easily slide on the blue side to change positions. In cold weather, putting the gray side up acts like a seat warmer. The slippery side could result in someone sliding out of their chair, but only if they weren't sitting all the way back or they slouched terribly. It is a simple thick gel pad encased in foam all around, inside a removeable cover, as shown in the photos. Two problems I have had in over two years. One is that the handle broke away after a year due to a stitching problem, but Drive replaced the whole cushion. I just weighed with and without it, and the 18x16x3 weighs 6.2#. Definitely not lightweight. I frequently carry it under my arm for fear the handle will again pull away. Second problem was that security at Reagan Airport confiscated it because the gel was opaque and they couldn't tell what was inside. I ordered another one and took the time to open the zippered cover and carefully cut the outer foam enough to reveal a few inches of the gel pad. Reagan AP again tried to confiscate it, but finally let it thru. Pack it in my checked bag was Reagan AP's solution. Due to frequent trips to DC, I finally decided to order a 2nd one and leave it there so I wouldn't have to take it thru Reagan security. But on international flights, I need it in the chair.
