Cushion Lab Patented Pressure Relief Seat Cushion for Long Sitting Hours on Office & Home Chair - Extra-Dense Memory Foam for Soft Support. Car & Chair Pad for Hip, Tailbone, Coccyx, Sciatica - Black

We eat dinners in the family room while watching a movie and sit on an old couch with a coffee table that raises to table height. I am 77 years old and sitting on the worn and flattened cushions of the couch was causing pain in my hips so that it was difficult to walk for a bit when I got up from the couch. By the end of a 2-hour movie, my legs were uncomfortable, beginning to ache, and felt like the blood supply was cut off from them because the couch cushion flattened so that the frame of the couch was hitting the back of my thigh. Since we haven't found time to get out to find a replacement couch, I turned to Amazon to find a temporary solution. I ordered this "butt cushion" in addition to 4 others in hopes that one of them would relieve the discomfort of sitting on our couch. I wanted something firm enough to overcome the flattening of the old couch cushions, but, it trying the different cushions, I found that shape and size is also important. Since I weigh 112 lbs., most of the cushions I ordered were firm enough, but the support offered by each was different. Some flattened after a short time, and some just weren't very comfortable because of the shape. This cushion is more expensive than the others I tried, but saving money at the expense of less comfort wasn't an option. I have been using this cushion every night for over a week, and no longer have the hip pain when I get up from the couch. The leg discomfort is also gone. The 4 other cushions have been returned. Since I weigh 112 lbs., I can't vouch for how this cushion would hold up to more weight, but it works for me and I am happy with it. UPDATE 07/30/24: I have been using this "butt cushion" every evening for at least 3 hours for the last 2 months, and I wouldn't want to do without it. In this time, it has not flattened at all, is very supportive, and perfectly fits the contour of my butt and thighs so I no longer get pains in my hips and legs from sitting on our old couch. You would think that finding a suitable cushion to sit on would be an easy task. In my experience of trying different cushions, I found that the perfect cushion is a very personal thing. Not only does it have to supply a comfortable firmness for support, but it must conform to your individual "butt contour". It is often necessary to try more than one to find the one that is perfect for you. This cushion is all that for me. UPDATE 12/16/24: I have now been using this cushion on my couch to sit on for over 6 months. It is still as supportive as it was when new, and has not flattened at all. Since using it, I have not had pains in my hips or legs after sitting on the couch. The cushion is so comfortable, we have put off getting a new couch. I suppose this is the only down side to having a comfortable cushion to sit on. I hope this review was helpful for you.

Good quality and materials

I finally found a cushion that is supportive. Most cushions that I bought did not really provide much lower back lumbar support. This cushion supports the butt in that the two ends curl slightly upwards. This design is ingenious as it mimics the shape of our behinds. The Cushion does not sink all the way to the bottom. It is relatively dense to support my weight. It is not cheap but it provides relief and that is worth its price. It also relieves tailbone fatigue.

Absolutely the best, most supportive and most comfortable cushion i have ever bought

I have a Cushion Lab cushion that I have been using for 4 months here in the US. It is awesome and worth every penny. It is so good, I wanted to order one for my mum for her birthday. She is in the UK and there was only one option on Amazon UK (in the US there is a variety of colors and 2 sizes) and just going on the picture, it looks a little thinner than the one I have...but I cannot confirm this. I also work in International retail and I get it - we cannot offer the variety that we can in the US - so that didn't bother me too much - but holy hotcakes - DOUBLE the price??? Yes, 2 times what I paid. For that reason alone, I have dropped my star rating. My cushion lab cushion here in the US is completely awesome. My mum, who is 94, seems to like it - and I hope it is twice as good as mine :)
