Hermell Products Egg Crate Foam Wheelchair Cushion, Black Cover - 3 Inches Thick

I have two pelvic fractures which make sitting rather uncomfortable, and the firmer and less flat the chair is, the worse it feels. Having gotten an egg crate mattress cover for my bed and having benefited greatly from the support and firmness level of it, I assumed that getting one for my office chair would be the perfect answer to make me sit comfortably on that seat.I am only partially right. Yes, it does give just the right amount of support: it cushions the firmness of the seat and it evens out the curve (the seat is somewhat contoured in a concave direction, which is very comfortable when you don't have fractures but acts to emphasize the curved surface when you do have fractures. So, that part is good.The only reservation I have is that, even the 3-inch unit, makes the chair a little high. This might not matter on other types of chairs but on a chair that rolls on wheels it is rather important that you be able to correctly gauge where you need to land. Also, I have the chair set as low as it will go and adding 3 inches to that is still a little high.The seat does not come with a cushion but would fit in a folded pillow case, which was my original plan. However, after trying it with and without, I opted to keep the pillow case off. This way, the foam tends to cling a little to the textured fabric upholstery of the office chair and doesn't fall off each time I get up.Since the cushion is meant to be used on a wheelchair (which has a smooth plasticized seat), I would suggest using a piece of that non-slip plastic sheeting (also used to line shelves) so that it stays put when maneuvering off the chair. There's nothing more unsettling than trying to coordinate getting off a rolling object with a cushion that is also wanting to go in another direction.On the whole, I do recommend this cushion. I've now been sitting for over an hour at my office chair. This is a feat that I had not been able to comfortably achieve with either my gel cushion or (even less) my memory foam cushion. For prolonged sitting, this seems to be the way to go.

This cushion been a huge blessing. I’ve had sciatic pain for years and it’s been getting much worse lately. I’ve bought and returned several orthopedic cushions as they were all just so hard, and they all dug uncomfortably into the backs of my thighs and cut off circulation, even those contoured specifically to prevent this. I finally gave up on orthopedic and memory foam cushions and just focused on something soft and cushy, and after researching egg crate foam cushions settled on this one as it had the fewest critical reviews and a good price. I’m sure I will find it’s far from perfect, but I’ve used it on a hard kitchen chair and on my recliner and I can almost forget I’m sitting. I’m a recliner sleeper so a butt-friendly seat is critical. Ordered another one so I don’t have to keep carrying this one up and down the stairs. It’s such a relief to finally have found something it doesn’t hurt to sit on.It’s cut rather crookedly and looks as if it had a hangover, but my rear end doesn’t care. The second one is cut perfectly and looks very civilized.Found some very pretty covers for these: ASIN: B07DRH7V86, Set Of 4 Green Plant Throw Pillow Covers Decorative Cotton Linen Outdoor Cushion Cover Sofa Home Pillow Covers 18x18.

Description of product is misleading.

Comfort is needed when you have to spend your time on a wheelchair. This cushion was comfortable with a modest price. I only sent it back because when my wheelchair was delivered, it came with a cushion —I had been told it would not come with a cushion.

I bought this wheelchair cushion for my PC chair. I have had a hard time finding a cushion for it that is soft and comfortable to sit on. I have a bad back and a problem with an old fractured coccyx. At first this cushion was heaven to sit on. But like all the other cushions I have bought, after sitting awhile it goes flat. But even though it goes flat, it is still a little softer than any cushion I have found so far. In case anyone wants to know what I use to cover it with, I found that bed pillow shams fit this cushion pretty well. The sham I have on it is just a little too big but that was easily fixed by tucking the overlap under the cushion. I got the sham on a clearance sale for $1.97 so I felt as if I saved a lot by getting the sham than buying a regular wheelchair cushion cover.

My father in law is 98 and has bed sores. This has helped aliviare the presure on his back and they are much better.

My dad likes it ... My cat LOVES it!Purchased this for my dad who has a tailbone injury. Although he likes it for use on softer surfaces like on the sofa or his lounge chair, he prefers the Cushy Cloud coccyx cushion (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NHYT36I/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1)to use in his wheelchair, in the car, and on other firmer seats.My cat however, absolutely loves this. Her legs and tail fit perfectly in the channels of the cushion and she actually aligns herself so all her legs and her tail have their own slot. Additionally, because her weight (10#) isn't enough to smash the peaks, we think she probably gets some sort of massage or acupressure sensation from it. We notice she will settle down on it, then roll her head, shift her body and purr like she's getting a massage.If my dad is sitting on it, she will jump on the armrest and stare at him until guilt takes over and he gives her the cushion. Have since ordered a second one so there's no more competition.
