20 Best Cushion For Pressure Sores (2023 Updated)

You’ll save a lot a money with this brand before I was buying inflatable donuts at Walmart and all brands at Walmart are really a bad quality, I bought in one year around 48 donuts from Walmart and all they exploded in less than a week of use.

Do not buy all the next brands I’ll mention at Walmart or any other store all they are extremely bad like “carex brand is bad” “Drive Medical Inflatable Vinyl Ring brand is bad” “Medline brand is bad” and many others.

These are companies who knows their bad qualities thinking that the old people will buy it again and again because all they explode and old people can not make complaints just because they’re old and don’t like worries, but big mistake for such companies.

A lot of people is starting changing to Dr. Frederick’s Brand which are or excess the quality, last 10 times more than cheaper brands and they are so much comfortable and the plus! we’re saving more money because of the excellent quality that Dr.

Frederick adds on each material to make all their products.

Nothing fancy here but it works great. The color and fabric (dark grey) blend well with my black office chair. The pump is very basic but functions well. As to the inflation my advice is that less air is best, you have to determine what’s best for you.

In my case very little air is the most comfortable. The cushion is wide. It occupies most of the seat area of my leather office chair. I bought and returned a memory foam ring. It was too hard. The best bet is sitting on air as in this product.

I recommend it.

I had bed sores for months that were extremely painful and in two days of using this product they completely healed. I can now sit and lie down without pain. I had tried pillows and they did not work.

Thank you so much.

Firmer than expected, but this turned out to be helpful when boosting a chair that was too soft. Top (blue) surface smooth which also was desired, easier to slide forward when you want to get up, but not enough to slip off otherwise.

Bottom a little grippy which helps it stay in place. Pad is surprisingly heavy which makes the loop useful for carrying. On a really hard chair (wheelchair etc. ) this would provide just modest cushioning, which might be better for longterm use.

It will not flatten as much as a softer cushion might. I am glad we tried this cushion, as we found a good use for it.

I bought this for my son who is in a nursing home and confined to a wheelchair all day. The one they had him using was quite thin and had a plastic cover which was brittle and torn. This cushion is perfect! It’s much more comfortable and has a removable cover that can be washed.

I’m very satisfied with this item and highly recommend it.

I got this cushion because I sit in uncomfortable office chairs at work and have a bad back. I tried several different cushions and they would go flat and didn’t do their jobs. A friend recommended wheelchair cushions and he was definitely right.

I live the foam and gel combo and this cushion fits perfectly into the office chair. The only faults this has is that it’s heavy and the blue (top part) is slippery. I’m using this cushion our of its intended use, so I’m not to angry about it.

If you need a quality cushion, check this out!.

I weigh 225. 6′ with average build but 65yr old man belly. I sit at a computer all day for work. I have low back issues that are sometimes really painful and sometimes just old age stiffness. I have tried several different computer chair / sciatica cushions.

Came to the conclusion that a gel memory foam would be the best. Looking for that balance between support ( would not squish down to nothing) but not be too hard. This cushion does fit that balance. When I first sit on it, it feels hard.

But after a few minutes I can feel it start to soften from body heat and soften up. It does not have the coccyx cutout but I also don’t seem to miss it with this cushion. The depth at 18″ is plenty and the beveled front does help lessen the pressure on my legs.

I do wish it was a little wider, but it is wider than my butt so as long as I position it when 1st sit, it is fine. This is still not “the perfect” cushion, but so far I like it. I have not tried the gel cushions ( like the purple thing) but they were going to be my last resort.

Don’t think I need to go there. Am happy so far. Will see how long it lasts before the gel foam starts to lose it’s ability to soften with body heat.

It does take pressure off my feet and knees, and lets me sit up a little taller. Unfortunately it adds pressure to my tailbone. And it is not slip proof. I have tried sliding it forward to ease the pressure on my tailbone, but it slides backward as soon as I sit down.

I would like to find a keyhole or coccyx version of this cushion.

This is the BEST cushion ive ever purchased. im only 5’2″ and to be able to see over my steering wheel and dashboard, I need something to place in my car seat to give me extra height in my Park Avenue car.

ive tried so many different types of cushions and no matter what they’re made of, foam rubber, memory foam, etc. , nothing was giving me any height. They all would sink down. but, this particular cushion barely sunk in, maybe a quarter of an inch, yet maintained its comfort.

I’m very, very pleased! It not only gives me geight, it has maintained comfort doing everything I needed. its made very well. Shipping was fast. You can’t go wrong purchasing this cushion. Thank you!!.

This is a really well made item, ideal thickness. I bought a thicker one at the same time and have hardly used it as this one is far more comfortable, having nerve damage and trying to find the right surface to be able to sit comfortably can be pretty difficult.

I just wish it had a homing device! I take it with me to meetings and concerts and I am so comfortable I forget about it, I then get up and go home without it! Hence I am buying another one.

Pleasantly surprised to find a cushion that suits my needs. It does what it says i. e. protect sitting bones from undue pressure. Delightedo with it. Thanks.

Nice and firm, and helped with getting out of her seat. But also with her having a fall and hurting her coccyx the pressure cushion help greatly

I purchased this cushion for my mom to replace the original that came with her chair. This cushion is much thicker and sturdy. It is very affordable and made of better quality and was 1/10th of the purchase price of the original.

I highly recommend this cushion before purchasing the original one at nearly $200 dollars. You wont go wrong! Mom loves it! Thanks!.

The gel cushion is awesome. I have a broken pelvis in 2 places on the left side. I needed a cushion that I could sit on for hours without hurting. Your cushion is such. The price is good as I also live on a very fixed income.

Thank you.

Came fast great shopping. Fits perfect. Firm but soft. Just received it so I don’t know how it’s going to last. That’s why I didn’t give it a 5

Using on my 16″ width wheelchair. Fits like it was made for it. Also used on my easy chair. Allows me to sit up longer without my butt falling asleep or getting “pins and needles”. It just works for me.

For me the cushion wasn’t right for me, the problem was, i set up to high in my wheelchair, my back was way over the handles that u push, I’m tall as well 5 “8. so if you’re shorter I’m guessing it could work, therefore I had to purchase a thinner gel seat cushion.

I’m just saying and giving my honest review.

I had back problems and sciatica, and needed a cushion for my chair at work. Over the past week that I have had it, my problems have gotten better, and I am glad I got it. This isn’t a miracle product, but it has helped me, and I don’t think a more expensive cushion would have done any better.

It hasn’t squished flat, like some reviewers said it might, even though it is only one inch memory foam and two inches regular foam– the amount of cushioning seems just about right for me. I am about 187 pounds and 6’4″.

I thought a lot about whether I wanted a solid cushion or one with a notch cut out, and I am glad I got one with the notch cut out– you can turn it around if you get tired of having the notch under you and it works just fine, with a cushion still under your legs even when it is rotated 180 degrees.

My wife had bought uncovered 4 inch memory foam to put under our mattress pads (which is cheaper). However, I tried sitting on that and still preferred sitting on this thinner covered cushion. I also like having a handle to carry it around.

This cushion smashes flat when I sit on it. Yeah, there is some cushioning; but, if you need a real wheelchair cushion, go the $100 extra and get an Invacare Absolute. If you have a relative or friend that you are buying for, get the expensive cushion, because there is all the difference in the world between the Invacare and this pillow.

Since I already have an Invacare, I bought this one as a back up because I keep getting sacral fractures and this Medline squishing down on top of the Invacare cushion helps take the pressure off my tailbone — I really should have gotten a cushion that had the circular scoop in the back.

If you are not looking for a cushion for a medical reason and your rear end is healthy, this cushion is fine and should help you from a world of hurt from hard seats.

I use this cushion in a wheelchair. It is very comfortable and has the width and length I needed to cover the entire seat of the chair. It also gives a bit of height as it is a deep cushion, which is good for me.

The one thing I didn’t expect is the rushing-air noise it makes when sitting or rising. But that is minor. It is a good product with a zippered cover.

So glad I ordered this for my mother it’s exactly what she needed, i’m very pleased with the cushion, the outer cover has the perfect material. She has a sore on her bottom we think this cushion will help with that problem.

This cushion holds up under my weight. Most seat cushions break down under my weight. But this cushion says it can handle more weight, and it does. Thank you. I’ve had this nearly a month, and it’s still holding up better than I can expect.

Thank you. This is a good product, and I intend to buy another one because it’s so good. Thank you.

I bought this to lift myself when I’m working at my desk. I work at a table that is higher than a typical desk but not high enough for a counter height stool. I haven’t been able to find an office chair that is comfortable, adjustable, attractive, and affordable so I decided to try this as an alternative.

It’s comfortable and firm, although I wish it was a bit firmer because it tends to lose some height when I’ve been at my desk for a while. I’m 5’11’ and 160 pounds so I don’t think I’m too heavy for it to retain it’s height.

I would also like a wider version because I tend to sit “criss-cross apple sauce” “Indian style” while I’m working and it would be nice for my legs to be supported when I sit like this.

I bought this cushion because it was the only one that I could find that was made for people weighing over 250lbs. It’s thick, but does compress when you sit on it. It’s comfortable and the pain I was experiencing before I bought this cushion has been resolved.

At least at the tailbone. There’s nothing you can do about pain that comes from sitting for 8 hours a day, but this helps with that. I’m glad I purchased it. It also came the next day. I wasn’t expecting that, but it was a nice surprise.

Nice cushion with ties to fasten to wheelchair. DME dealer recommended get cushion for all day sitting. Vinyl/gray bottom & nylon/navy top — covered with towels to absorb any “accidents”. Walmart price & shipping was the best on the web! This is the correct review for this cushion — sorry, but confused it with other Gel E cushion that was ordered at same time!.

Although the comfort was good, cushion did not stay secure on the chair. Will use on other chair rather than return.

I purchased this Gel-U-Seat cushion to aid in the recovery from my Hemorrhoidectomy. It has been great. Once I returned to work, I used it in my office chair. Problem is that there are no tie straps built in the center of the pad to hold it in place.

If the chair has no posts on the side to tie to, the pad keeps sliding.

So yeah, when you unzip the cover and look at the cushion, it doesn’t have two visible blue squares on the top. It’s all white like in the first picture I provided. And it’s kind of hard to see, but in the second picture, you can see that something is in there.

I can say with certainty that it is a gel section. I would have shown more of it if I could but I didn’t want to open it any more than that if I could help it. And that’s because I needed to use it, to put in the really expensive office chair that I spend most of my time in, that has not performed like it was supposed to.

It’s only been a couple days, but I’m happy to report that instead of getting in pretty severe pain after only one hour in my office chair, like before, that pain has never come! Well, my usual pain is always there.

I’m talking about the extra pain that the chair was causing. The straps that snap together in the back also work quite well with this chair.

This is advertised as gel foam cushion. There is NO GEL in this. It is NOT memory foam. It is regular foam and it is not that soft. As a lightweight person, It is too hard for me to sit on so I have to keep looking elsewhere.

I threw it on the floor in disgust. Then I tried to kick it out of my way. while dong that, I ended up resting my feet on it. Well, now that is soft for my feet! How did that happen?? It makes no sense that it is hard to sit on but soft for my feet? Well, that’s the way it feels for me so being I am short too, it is raising my feet off the floor.

Having my knees raised takes pressure off my lower back. It is very comfortable in that way, on the floor for my feet. So, now it is my foot cushion while sitting at my desk. If you are looking for a soft cushion to sit on, as a lightweight person, this is not soft for sitting.

If you happen to buy this and do not like to sit on it like me, try it on the floor, a kneeling cushion, your dogs. I upgraded to 3 stars ONLY because I found another use for it.

I’ve dealt with sciatic nerve pain for about 15 years. Over the last few months, I’ve also developed really intense pain in my right hip and in my IT bands. Rather than throw a bunch of money on a new, and very expensive desk chair, I decided to try the cushion to see if it would help.

Pros: The difference was almost instant. It’s not overly squishy, but instead firm and supportive. The contours help support my seat properly and, unexpectedly, it improves my overall posture (no more crossing my legs or fiddling around trying to get comfortable).

Cons: Maybe price will be a negative to some, but It’s cheaper than a new chair and cheaper than chiropractic visits. Another drawback is that, with the vast spectrum of body sizes and shapes that people have, I’m really surprised that there are only 2 options for such a specifically-contoured product (more on that below).

I’d love to see a more inclusive range of size choices so that everyone can enjoy it. Considerations about sizing: Based on the recommendations, I purchased the “Standard” cushion. It fits me great, but I’m about 5’7″ and a size Xs/S or a 4/6.

My daughter, who is 5’8″ and a size M or 8/10, tried out the cushion and (while she is significantly below the recommended weight for sizing up to the “Large”) mentioned that the Standard was a teensy bit snug.

Granted, this is based on a sample size of two people, but if your hips are wider than 40″ or you weigh more than 175lbs, I’d strongly suggest purchasing the “Large” size as the contours of the “Standard” cushion might might not be as welcoming to your body.

I’m guessing this is why the Large is sold out most of the time. I am hoping the Large comes back in stock soon, though, as think they would make great gifts.

I have only had this seat cushion for over a month and it has helped my sciatica and low back pain on my right side. I bought this to replace the cushion I had on our dining room table because after what was only several weeks, the cushion went from very supportive to not and I was in extreme pain that I couldn’t even sit down to have a meal for too long because the pain in my low back had become so unbearable that no matter how I adjusted myself while sitting, nothing worked.

I can’t even tell you honestly how I found Cushion Lab…I think I went on google and just searched top seat cushions looking for Purple as I saw on an ad that they now have a seat cushion and was curious about it.

Instead, I ran into a link for Cushion Lab and through my desperation, I went to see what they sold. I saw this cushion and read the reviews and looked promising. I told my husband about it and he said try it out so I bought it and I’m so glad I did.

The moment I got it, opened it, and used it; the pain in my sciatica has decreased when I sit on this Just yesterday (April 6), my right side was on fire and really angry to the point where I couldn’t even stand.

So I went to my dining room chair where this cushion is on and sat there for a few minutes and I went from wanting to cry in pain to relief. After 5 minutes of sitting on this, I was able to stand up and finish up a few small chores around the house.

My husband has seen how it has helped me and he has been having these weird low back and hip pains as well that he asked me to get him one to try out. He’s 6’1” so I got him the larger size. I love how firm the product is because that tells me the support will stay firm for a very long time.

The other plus is the grippiness of the cushion. We have wood dining room chairs and this doesn’t slide around on my chair. My only issue (which is not a deal breaker) is that since I’m 5’1”, it’s ever so slightly tall when I need to sit on it so I almost have to come at it from the sides but once I’m on it, I am comfortable and pain-free.

I know for someone who’s going to read this very long post and think it’s a hype. It’s not…I don’t leave very many product reviews because not all products are created equal. But this product is legit! Do I still have my low back pain and sciatica pain? Yes, but this has helped managed it and I’m so glad I got it.

The large cushion for a senior person is perfect for an185 pound man frame. For my weight, I found it too be a bit too hard with not much give while seating on it in my home chair and in my car. I just used it on an 900 mile trip, 16 hour trip , found it to be comfortable, but still I would have preferred a little more softness.

If anyone plans to use it in their car, make sure your seat has an adjustable up/down feature of at least 3-4 inch to accommodate the height of the cushion. I drive a Suburban, so the fit was great on the car seat.

I also have the regular size cushion that I have been using for about a year and the softness is great, but the fit for my bottom was too small that it put pressure on the side of my leg’s. Now if the larger cushion had medium softness it would be great for adults to buy and use.

The materials on both is great, soft and my year old cushion wear is holding up better than expected after using daily either in my car or house. Mine you I am retired and use them daily for hours. Would I buy another one again, a Big Yes.

Hopefully by than the Cushion Lab will have come out with large cushion with medium softness for those not over 210 pounds. Future buyers consider your bottoms size first and weight second, because you will have to choose wisely on what you want fit or softness.

I would have given it a 5 Star rating if the cushion would have been softer for me, but I am sure that it was meant for someone over 250 pounds frame. If you do buy the cushion use it for awhile before you write a review and enjoy it.

The E-Z Slide Shoehorn, made of stainless steel will outlive the plastic shoehorn immeasurably. A good choice for those with recent hip or back procedures, arthritis or anyone with difficulty reaching shoes during dressing.

I ordered a Rohi cushion for my father , needed it ASAP as his had deflated permanently. The customer care on the phone that I received was some of the most informative and compassionate I have dealt with in all the years of buying supplies.

The cushion was exactly what we needed and it arrived a day early. What a relief to know we’ve found a company that we can count on for all our needs, the price was almost 200. 00 cheaper than what we’d paid previously.

The new customer discount, sale price and friendliness made all the difference. The cushion is Great! I actually cried with relief that the purchase was correctly handled and my Father didn’t have to worry.

Thanks so much.

It takes few times to adjust the air to get it perfect. But once it’s there, comfort is perfect.

I have a Jazzy 614HD wheelchair. It fits the seating area very well. It is somewhat comfortable but it gets a little to flat for me. Also, my bottom sweets do to the vinyl top cover. I place a soft towel over it to improve air flow that helps to absorbed moisture.

But have to be careful doing that if I go down a steep slope as towel could slip forward. Must have the seatbelt on. Other wise not a bad item.

Simply put its great. Super thick and firm, yet gives. It?s actually too big for my chair, which my chair is a wooden chair meant for a desk I have at home. In the product?s defense, my chair is on the small side.

This product is big enough to fit on a larger chair.

I already had one and needed more height, so I purchased a second one. They are very comfortable, durable and sustain their height. I highly recommend!

Size suits the wheelchair and sits comfortably with 4 inches high to relieve pressure.

While its weight makes it much easier for me to get the chair in and out of my car, the problem we have is in its height. My husband has to drop himself down onto the seat because the chair is too low for him to just sit it in.

When he dropped into it the first time, it tipped backwards. At least I not know that I have to be behind him when he gets into it. Then, when he is ready to get out of the chair, he struggles because his legs are not strong enough to lift him up from such a low position.

I bought the cushion in the hopes that it would make it easier for him to get up and down, which it does, but because it raises the center of gravity it’s even more important that I be behind him to correct for the tipping.

I can’t imagine how you can correct for this, because anything you do to make the chair higher will also make it heavier, which defeats the purpose. So, my judgment is that the item is handy, but not perfect.

This chair cushion is comfortable and supportive. I am pleased with this purchase.

FIT, PRICE, AND PERFECT SIZE ALL PROS.

GREAT cushion also for a TRANSPORT CHAIR!! Even though our transport chair is one inch wider than this cushion, this cushion worked perfectly!! Fits well in the seat, stays put, LIGHT WEIGHT though thick and comfortable.

Really like that it has a removable washable cover though we have not tried washing it yet. Cover is slightly slick which helps with transfer, but not slippery. Attractive black cover with zipper. We bought a handful of styles to compare, and THIS one was the winner in the eyes of both patient and caregiver!! Makes sitting in a TRANSPORT CHAIR much more comfortable if you have to wait somewhere for a while.

I’ve had hip replacements and need a cushion that makes EVERY chair comfortable. So far, this cushion is perfect. The size allows it to be used anywhere, including concert or stadium seating. The material maintains it shape and rebounds immediately.

I can sit comfortably in even a hard, straight chair for several hours at a time. The only reason I’m hesitant to give it an excellent rating is that I’ve only had it for 2 weeks and I don’t know how well it will hold up.

But for now, it’s perfect!!.

I ordered this to give more height to a chair seat so it was easier to get out of but it didn’t do that at all. It says it’s 3 inches but I measured it and it’s barely 2 1/2 inches. It is too soft and squishes down too much to do any good.

So I took it back. The packaging was very strange also. The ‘bag’ it was in could have held a 3 x 5 foot table top!! The cushion is only 16 x 18 inches!! I’m sure they could have found something quite a bit smaller that would have worked better.

It was even hard to figure out how to get it open to get to the cushion.
