GSeat Ultra Orthopedic Gel and Foam Seat Cushion (Black) – 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.

Comfortable, support, perfect size.

I tried at least 6 different cushions, most of them were memory foam. I find gel cushion to be the most comfortable. It is not perfect, but I doubt it is possible to find a perfect cushion, especially for use in a car. Hip support is very nice. However, the bottom is not non-slip. When used in the car, the cushion slides every time you get in or get out. I left this cushion on the front seat on a hot day and it got very warm. So you have to hide it in a cool spot whenever you park for a long time. This is where portability of this cushion is handy. You can fold it in half and stick it under the seat or in back pocket. Price is a little high in my opinion, too.

I waited around 3 months to write this. I herniated L2 and have disc derangement of some kind at all lumbar levels to make a long story short. Sitting is very painful and riding in the car difficult. I live in the mountains and I have to commute 40-100+ miles round trip to go to school or pretty much anywhere. For years, I'd cut pieces of memory foam bed mattress toppers, cover then with pillow cases and haul those everywhere to pad what I sat on (which looks ridiculous and draws many stares which I've learned to ignore mostly). Still, the pain after sitting was terrible. Some days after a long car ride, I'd even be nauseous. When I got this I thought, well, it seems a little hard, not really squishy. (I have to have a deep, soft topper on my bed as laying down through the night also causes pain enough to keep me awake). Well, I've tried this pad and now use it everywhere. The tailbone cut out relieves pressure, and it's just sloped enough to align your spine. I put in on chairs, in our boat, the vehicles, wherever. It hasn't cured me of course, but now if I really overdo it sitting, the pain is much, much less, and I'm not necessarily a mess the next two days. Just make sure that the tailbone cutout is directly under you so you are sitting squared on the pad. I also recommend getting the largest one, unless you are truly a stick figure. This prevents the firm edges from lining up directly under, or near, your sciatic nerve which can aggravate that pain and also gives you a little room to wiggle around. Experiment, and you will know when you are aligned correctly. It folds up discretely and no one seems to notice me with it. I agree that the handle isn't thick enough to last, so I just carry it folded up under one arm. I also wish it wasn't so expensive but it has proved worth every penny. So far it seems to have "broken in" but isn't showing any sign of breaking down. A million thank yous to the person who thought of this!!!

When examining the product from someone who just bought one it seemed great ,soft and firm at the same time. I decided to order this and when you first sit down it feels great ,after about a half hour the gel just seems to compress against itself and it really hard on your bottom. Sometimes while driving my bus I would just pull it out and the buses seat cushion would me much more comfortable. I use the cushion more for protection from unsanitary seats,the bottom cleans up good with clorox wipes and drys within minutes. I decided to buy a good memory foam cushion that I put over this ,a little bulky at first but you adapt to it. The g seat ultra is even worse on wood chairs. but I was glad to have it on metal bleachers ,all in all I would not buy this product again ,instead I would get a great memory foam seat cusion for less than half the price. Also there is a handle that comes in the middle of the seat cushion ,that you can just lift and carry,This was great for about a month before it ripped apart and is not fixable . What made me buy this cushion was the feedback which was pretty good ,thats why I decided to post this ,its not as good as they say ,unless I got a lemon Good Luck

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.

I never review anything that I buy online but this product was sooo decieving that I had to write this. This so called "GEL SEAT" cushion is not GEL anything. It hard foam. It hurts your butt to sit on after long periods. It is no better than a $20.00 dollar seat cushion. To make matters worse I've only been using it for a month and the hard foam has already started to go flat. This is not worth the money at all. The product was delivered to me in a clear plastic bag tapped up and thrown in a box. It had no instructions, no packing slip, no return label, no manual, no nothing. Almost as if they knew the product was crap and they wanted to make sure you couldn't return it. They made every attempt for you not to be able to reach them so you wouldn't be able to return the overpriced foam seat. I now own a $105.00 piece of foam that doesn't cushion anything. I had to buy a piece of memory foam to place on top of it just to be able to use it. I used it primarily for driving every day for long commutes. It was soo uncomfortable to use until I bought a piece of thick memory foam to place over it which defeated the purpose of paying soo much money for this Non-Gel Seat. I am dissapponted with the product and the company. They really need to issue me a credit because this is just an overpriced false representation of a product. I will never buy another thing from them ever.

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.
