Review: Cushy and well made - This is an extremely well made cushion. It is slightly heavy but it won't be something you necessarily move around much and it does have a carry handle on one side for that purpose. I bought it for my elderly dad who spends a lot of time now in his electric scooter, and had been complaining of an aching hip at the end of the day. He says it's very comfortable, and much more cushy than the scooter seat. It does have a "gel" like feel to the top - the bottom may be foam. It did raise him up in the seat a few inches, and I was a little worried he might not fit under the kitchen table when he rolled up to it, but it worked fine. For the quality and durability of workmanship, I think this is a good purchase. Review: Good size for wheelchair back cushion - I bought this to provide a more comfortable seat back for my mother's wheelchair. I have been using the 3 inch version as a seat cushion for several years, and wanted to increase the comfort of the seat back as well. This works! The wheel chair that my mother uses is a light weight one and has a simple nylon material as a seat back. It is very lightly padded, and the additional cushioning of this get cushion is very helpful.

Recommended! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very sturdy, just soft enough, good quality *by R***S on October 12, 2011* I have a problem with my sciatic and piriformis and suffer from fibromyalgia. If I sit on a hard surface for 5 minutes, I get pain and numbness in my glutes and down the right leg so I end up squirming as I drive. I bought this for a car seat, which is too hard (they are all too hard in new cars). I have tried other cushions and I think this one is great. It's got the right ingredients of size and thickness and is not too firm or too soft. The 2 inch thickness is great. I'll use it for a week and write an update. It's a heavy cushion (3 lbs or so), so it does not move around on the car seat. It's very resilient and has the right amount of cushioning. I am 160 lbs male and this works very well so far for me. It does raise you up by 2 inches but I just lower the car seat all the way down and it's fine. I am only 5 foot 7 though. The gel is hidden deep inside the foam cushion and there's a sturdy cover and a handle built in. You should definitely give this one a try. I like the size, 18x16. I actually wish it was even a little bigger. I hid the cushion under a seat cover so the seat looks good. I may get one for the passenger side because my sister also has pain when she sits and the price is good. ## Frequently Bought Together - Drive Medical 14888 Skin Protection Gel "E" Wheelchair Seat Cushion - Drive Medical BLS18FBD-ELR Blue Streak Lightweight Wheelchair with Swing-Away Elevating Leg Rests and Flip-Back Arms - Drive Medical 14891 Skin Protection Gel "E" Wheelchair Seat Cushion, 16 x 16 x 3 Inch, 16x16x3 Inch (Pack of 1) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/7718074-14888-skin-protection-gel-e-wheelchair-seat-cushion-gel-seat](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/7718074-14888-skin-protection-gel-e-wheelchair-seat-cushion-gel-seat) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
