Drive Medical 14894 Skin Protection Gel "E" Wheelchair Seat Cushion

My Mom had been using various foam / gel wheelchair cushions but all would result in sitting fatigue, tailbone soreness, etc. The design of this cushion is different, the gel bladder under the foam helps reposition support very effectively, unlike all the other cushions out there. She has not complained of soreness for the first time in years since using the cushion, and isn’t affected at all by pavement cracks and bumps when going outside anymore. This is a product that really helps people who sit in wheelchairs for longer periods of time in my experience, and helps take away an unnecessary extra problem she had to deal with for years.

Fits. Works.

As I expected. No surprises.

Unless you've spent long periods of time in a wheelchair (I certainly have), you won't understand how practical these seat cushions are.I had received one (by another manufacturer) many years ago, as a gift. But it was finally at the end of its life. My local medical-supply vendor carried the Drive Medical cushion, but this Amazon merchant beat that price by about $50!The cushion is encased in a removable zipper bag for easy cleaning. The bag's top surface is dark blue nylon, and doesn't exhibit much friction; when you need to change position, you can easily slide along it. the bottom surface is rubbery and grips surfaces well, so the cushion will stay in place, even when you move around on it. The cushion is a good inch thicker than my previous version, and the gel cushioning is very responsive -- it compresses when you sit on it, but regains its original contours within moments after you vacate it.It's a relatively heavy item, so the attached fabric handle is a plus; rather than trying to get a grip on the cushion, you just grab the handle and hoist it up.Of course, the key consideration is comfort -- and this cushion excels. I've sat in my wheelchair for 4 or 5 hours at a clip, and experienced no discomfort whatever.

This is the only cushion that would work for me. I move it from my wheelchair and use it in all my chairs. It is wonderful.It works better than the $600 inflatable cushion that my insurance company sent me.

Finally, a pillow that fits my chair. And it’s gel, so very comfy for long periods of chair-sitting. Plus- it’s portable,usable in other chairs, bleachers and other hard surface seating. Well made and worth the money.

Comfy for my behind (sitting on it in my wheelchair) for short spurts, but it really bothered my back over the course of a full work day. I feel as though if the product wasn't so bulky and it was instead skinnier, it would be a much better product. Perhaps it was the angle that was desk was at in conjunction with my wheelchair / seat cushion combo (and the height that it brought me to), but the pad really tweaked my back.Hopefully I will be able to use it somewhere else around the house or will be able to give it to someone who will be able to use it - I'm not one to return items after buyers remorse...

This was just what I needed for long hours at my PC. The grey side grips my chair really well so it doesn't slide around. The gel inside makes it very comfortable and you can tell it will last a very long time just by the weight of it. It weighs almost 6 pounds! The cover is made well and has a good zipper on it so you can remove it for washing. I bought the 20"x16"x3" version and it is the perfect size for my chair. I would suggest you measure your chair and select the size accordingly.I was going to get the Forever Comfy cushion, but after seeing all the bad reviews about poor quality and how people got soaked on the price by having to pay double shipping whether they want 2 or not. I'm glad I got this one instead.
