GSeat Ultra Orthopedic Gel and Foam Seat Cushion (Gray) – for Coccyx, Back, Tailbone, Prostate, Postnatal, and Sciatica Pain/Discomfort – Office, Car, Chair, Travel

Let's just get the sticker shock out of the way first: yes, this cushion is a bit on the pricey side compared to the sea of generic foam options you see online. But I can tell you right now, after having tried no less than six different orthopedic cushions over the past month, this cushion is so much more comfortable than all of them that it's absolutely well worth the price. It genuinely delivers where cheaper options fail. The core technology here is the gel and foam hybrid, and it really holds its shape and cushioning properties beautifully—you can immediately feel the difference in support. What makes this cushion truly perfect for virtually any kind of sitting pain is the design of the recess. That center cut-out that goes all the way from front to back is brilliant; it eliminates soft tissue pressure and completely unloads the coccyx. This makes it ideal for anyone needing relief from sciatic pressure, tailbone pain, prostate discomfort, or postnatal issues. It's truly a versatile solution, and it’s super easy to carry with the integrated handle, making the transition from office chair to car seat painless. Now for the critical assessment: the only thing that would make this cushion better for my personal preference is if it were a little softer. It is pretty firm. I understand why they engineered it that way—firmer means better postural support and it will definitely maintain its shape longer—but it does lack that initial soft give that some people might be looking for. Still, the support it offers for long-term sitting is unparalleled. For me, the effective pressure relief and superior construction completely overcome the minor issue of firmness, making this the last cushion I’ll need to buy.

This is an excellent product. I have 3 of these that I've bought over the years. These prevent saddle numbness from long-term sitting, are well balanced, and comfortable. I use one on a hard piano bench and can sit/play for many hours without any discomfort. I use another on a Herman Miller desk chair, and it does the same thing. I tried it on a dining chair, and it was just a bit long but still worked. (There's a smaller model.) I found many other seat cushions out there were designed for women and didn't relieve pressure where, as a man, I needed pressure relieved to avoid numbness. It was recommended to me by a concert pianist. This is not very portable, primarily due to weight. The dense gel support is heavy. I wouldn't move it more than room-to-room. (I think Gelpro has a smaller model with different, lighter filling.) It does fold, but the handle is awkward to use for any distance.

Cushion worked well. It keeps the pressure off my prostate which was needed due to a medical issue. Cushion is firm and has the middle channel to take pressure off prostate. I use it in the vehicle and is extremely effective. Only negative is you have to center it every time you enter the vehicle but is worth it.

I bought this to put in my car's driver seat. I buy my cars new and drive them into the ground. I noticed that after a while, a normal car seat, or even a sofa, will have its cushioning deteriorate over time so that you sink down in it quite a bit compared to a new seat. I already had a throw on cushion. It was comfortable enough when sitting on it, but it had drawbacks. It was grey and 3" high in the back. Even with my car seat as low as I could get it, I could feel that the hair on my head was touching the roof of my '98 Mustang GT. I saw this new GSeat was about an inch lower - a big improvement. But the worst problem with my grey cushion was that it slid. When you exit your car, you twist your bottom so that the cushion is facing 45 degrees to the left. So when you re-enter the car you have to reposition the cushion,then place one hand between your legs to grasp the cushion so it wouldn't slide, and then sit down on it. This was a pain. Note that if the cushion I am complaining about were used on a regular seat, such as a wheelchair or a kitchen chair, or on bleachers at the ball part, it would be fine. Next I fretted much over which size GSeat Ultra to buy - the big one shown above or the smaller version. I got my tape measure out and measured again and again. The 18 inch width of the large size seemed mighty wide. However, I went with the big size and was delighted. It fit my Mustang bucket seat so well that you could swear it was custom made. Not only that, but the bucket seat design causes the cushion to be securely ensconced so that it doesn't slide at all! So everything was great - but some people can not leave well enough alone. I thought I had a way to make the cushion even more better! I had a spray can of KRYLON "Easy Tack on hand, which I sprayed on the bottom of the cushion. Note that "tacky" is not the same as, "sticky". After a couple of days of usage I see that the spray does improve the tack. but not by a whole lot. The spray didn't hurt my leather car seat. The amount of GSeat Ultra cushioning is fine. UPDATE I have just ordered a second one of these for my 2013 Honda Accord. I moved the one I have in my Mustang there to try it out in the Honda. It stays put perfectly - no sliding around. I realize that every time you exit your car, your butt creates a shearing force as you twist and after a while this shearing damages your car seat. Now the GSeat takes all the sharing force of getting in and out of the cars.
