(More customer reviews)I'm currently confined to a wheelchair, and it was strongly recommended by my occupational therapist that I get a gel cushion for my wheelchair, since the standard cushions don't really support long hours sitting up in the wheelchair.
I looked online and found many kinds, but they were all very pricey. At least 50% more than this one, some of them 300% of this price (3x) Maybe there's something less in this one, but I have yet to figure out what it is.
For added support and comfort, I got myself a donut pillow over the standard foam cushion, but if you sit wrong on it or aren't centered, that combination can get painful, Correctly adjusted, the donut/foam combination can be quite comfortable.
Where this shines:
- The gel doesn't require any precise sitting
- It's as comfortable to sit on as the donut-foam combination done right
- The gel is always cooling to the bottom. I think this allows me to sit on the wheelchair far longer than I otherwise could. In turn, I can do a full day's worth of work and that's important.
Where it doesn't, but I don't mind:
- The cushion is far heavier than the standard foam. 8 lb can knock out people. Not a problem for me, it can sit under me for a long time
- The securing strap has to be undone if the wheelchair is folded for transport. Not dinging it any stars for this.
