Premium Air Inflatable Seat Cushion - Comfortable Chair Cushion for Wheel Chair - Ideal for Prolonged Sitting - Ideal Seat Cushion for Daily Use (Gray)

After reading all of the reviews or most of them at least on this pillow, I decided to give it a try. I'm a big guy. Over 250. Because of some physical injuries, I spend most of my time sitting. At my weight having to sit as much as I do is a recipe for disaster. Let's just say I get very sore along with occasional hemorrhoids because I spend so much time on my backside. A lot of time for me at least, just the act of sitting down is super painful. No matter how lightly I sit myself in the chair is an exercise in pain. Lucky for me I saw this pillow on Amazon. I got it today and just barely inflated it. That only took a few breaths. I sat my big behind down on it and unbelievably it was comfortable for the first time in I can't remember how long. I thought for sure because of my weight I would pop it. It seems to be made very well and the design is really really comfortable. Anybody who has butt problems should get at least one of these. I'm going to order two more and use one in my car. You won't be disappointed. I promise!

I have previously purchased this cushion and used daily for nearly 3 years; when that cushion started to leak air, I ordered another to replace it. I have had the current cushion just short of 9 months, and it no longer holds air. I contacted Amazon for a replacement, and they are having me return the defective item, and charging me a restocking fee.Needless to say, I've ordered a completely different item to replace this defective product.

Sitting down permanently is not a good thing, it can lead to painful pressure sores on ones posterior and legs. In searching for products to solve my discomfort, I've tried several cushions, pads, pieces of foam, etc. When I saw this product and read some reviews, I decided to give it a try, and ordered it.It arrived sooner than expected, which brought earlier relief for me. My husband and caretaker put in the correct amount of air, about half what it could hold. This was suggested by another reviewer, and was excellent advice. It comes with it's very own little pump.I am now on day two of being back in my power chair and at last, am sitting up painlessly as I praise the product as well as the seller.I received an email asking if I'd gotten the cushion and if there were any problems they could assist with or questions they could answer. No to both. I am a happy sitter, still longing to walk, but not likely to get that sort of help from mortals.I never want to be without one of these little devices, and will deal with this same seller for a backup.

I bought this cushion to replace a similar one that my mother had received at the hospital, following her surgery.Based upon reviews here, I thought this cushion would be a simple matter to inflate....Well, it was just the opposite...The only instructions given were: “To inflate, simply take the air pump in hand and insert the nozzle into the valve”.I pumped and pumped for 45 minutes and only a tiny bit of air entered the cushion. Finally, the pump handle broke apart, leaving it all completely useless, and my arms aching, along with over $25 down the drain. I consider myself an intelligent individual who can follow instructions...so what was I missing? A special “trick” that everyone else seems to know? Or was this a defective product?Those of us who literally have no other family member or close friend to ask for help, are left in the dark. I wound up having to throw it all away, and purchase a different type of cushion made of foam, instead....How I wish that we could receive a refund for this product. :(

Yes, a good product, well made, easy to inflate with efficient hand-pump, comfortable to sit on, but one major thing bugged the hell out of me and reduced your rating from 5 to 3 stars. The problem? Look at the inflated cushion. It constantly curls up. It will not lie flat. Very annoying. Fix that and you have a 5-star product at a good price.

As we know how "comfortable" airline seats can be back in coach, I primarily decided on this seat cushion for a 9hr + airplane ride primarily because:1) I wanted an inflatable seat so I could pack it away when done and did NOT want "memory foam"2) I loved the 17" x 17" size of it compared to other inflatables - this seemed to fit most chair pans the best and I wanted coverage!3) and bonus, it came with a little hand pump (but as others wrote, it's not really needed)I got the blue cushion and it from all appearances once received, it appears to be made of a sturdy vinyl material and heat sealed rather well to make the waffle holes.As in other reviews, I found out that not fully inflating the cushion did just the job for me. Too much and it was as firm as a hard chair but 50 quick bumps, just where the cushion starts to fill out, was about accurate for me.Now to find the most comfort position for me:1. Did I want some support on the backside? (this pushed me too far forward for comfort in the airline seat)2. Did I want it some cushion under my knees so my tailbone had some space? (this didn't work for me either as felt I was sliding off the seat - and I'm 5'5". It might work for someone taller or with longer legs)3. Or did I just flat out want the cushion right under all of me?Option 3 worked after I wiggled around, adjusting it back and forth and found just having it right under me was the most comfortable. The 17"x17" fit just right on the airplane seat and after a 9 hr+ flight, I had no back issues (from my tailbone) from sitting upright or slightly reclined - YAY!Storage tip (see pictures): once deflated and flatten out, fold the cushion in thirds. Place the pump on the cushion and roll it up over the pump - the pump is secure within the cushion. Add a rubber band or hair band to secure. It now tucks away nicely in my backpack side zipper pocket!A "nice to have" would be about a 3" x 8" drawstring travel bag that fit the rolled up cushion with pump in middle, to help protect it.(An old sock would work for this also.)So far, one airline trip and I give this cushion 5 stars and look forward to using on other upcoming trips! Good Job EMSupply!
