HealthSmart 360 Degree Swivel Seat Cushion, Chair Assist for Elderly, Swivel Seat Cushion for Car, Twisting Disc, Gray, 15 Inches in Diameter (Pack of 1)

A basic lazy susan for your bottom with a comfortable cushion top. This size works for a average size person with a little meat on the bone if you use it on a solid surface.

The swivel seat cushion is very nice. I wanted to use it in my car but, it was too high. It works great on my computer desk chair. It is good quality. I wish it would have worked in my car but, it worked out for my chair.

This is the first of two seats that I purchased from Corydor, the Amazon vendor. Both of these cushions work very well. In my case, I have advanced arthritis in my spine and hips (among other places), and getting into my car is very difficult. The cushion allows me to first seat myself to avoid having to put one foot in and then stand on one while bending in a very painful way to enter the car. With the Duro-Med I can instead turn and sit down in a natural fashion. This reduces the strain on my back and hips. Once I'm landed in the seat, and atop the swivel cushion, I can then simply spin my feet into the car while my upward body also turns in one movement. Still a bit of pain, but that's part of everyday life with arthritis of this type.My wife, on the other hand, is the victim of a horribly incompetent surgeon who left pieces of her spine inside the column. A subsequent operation reveals that at least one of the pieces, about the size of a dime according to the surgeon, was "knife edge" into the spinal cord and nerves in that area. As a result, she also is in constant pain and has a similar problem entering her car. In both of our cases the Duro-Med cushion helps entering the car.Of equal importance, the swivel seat has enough cushion to provide a relatively soft area to sit while in the car. Even more important is the size and shape of the swivel seat. With its relatively broad size a person of average height and weight can set atop the seat and not really feel it underneath them. A larger person with a larger frame may feel the seat as it is directly under them or even shifted to the side but in those cases it is not high enough to cause discomfort. Having this cushion allows the seat to be used not only to enter the car but to remain in place during the driving.The swivel seat is also very useful when exiting the car. One simply turns her lower body to allow the feet to clear the doorway in the upper body will spin on the swivel seat in a natural manner. This allows you to rise from the car seat in a more natural position, and in fact will reduce the amount of car door for car opening that you may need to pull yourself from the vehicle. The reason for this is that by having the seat turn you to face outward you can slip forward to the edge of the seat, and in the instance of a lower vehicle onto the threshold of the car door, and then stand just as if you were standing from the chair.The overall quality of the swivel seat is high, especially considering the price of the material likely used to make this product. The material is not necessarily plush but it is comfortable to the touch and for the purpose it was made. The cushion is thick enough, as I pointed out, to give the user a comfortable spot to sit while still remaining narrow enough to not cause interference with the seating position. While I am thinking about components of the seat let me add that the swivel component seems to be fairly sturdy and capable of carrying weight in excess of 200 pounds quite easily. For those who may be above 250 pounds I would imagine that the swivel would wear out much quicker. Larger folks know their weight and the price they pay, so having to replace the seat a bit earlier is not a problem in my opinion.I think the product is a good value and would recommend it for almost anyone who has difficulty entering or exiting their car.

It’s not bad it just doesn’t spin like I want

I was so grateful to find this 360 degree swivel seat. I have had Rheumatoid Arthritis since 2005. As I age it has be worsening especially with cold weather. I just had bilateral hip bursitis also. It was too painful to lift my leg up to enter the drivers seat. My hubby is age 88 and rescinded his driver’s license last year. I need to be able to drive us to a lot of doctor appointments so my 360 swivel seat has made that possible again! My freedom to drive again has been restored! Thank you!

I didn't think my requirements were that strenuous: I wanted to use it to sit on the floor and swivel. It just doesn't work. The foam is really cheap and the plastic frame deforms (I weigh ~150 lbs). I think to be a serious product, it should use some sort of ball bearings around the perimeter, instead of cheap plastic on plastic sliding action. There's too much friction. Well, I can't imagine that some people are trying to use this on top of their car seat, I just can't see how that could work.I'm glad I bought the grey version since it was ten dollars less; I would have been even more disappointed if I paid 25 bucks for this! I just donated it to Salvation Army since it was not worth the hassle or the shipping cost to anyone to return it (even though I'm sure Amazon would have paid it). I suppose though if you can't find anything else anywhere, you could put some oil on the sliders and hope for the best. Good luck!

Purchased for my Dad who had trouble setting in chair at table & getting legs under table. Able to sit in chair & turn body. Also would put in car seat & easy for elderly to sit & turn to get legs in car. This is very good for anyone with a disability.

It seems like it should work. However, it creates a big uncomfortable gap in back and necessitates an awkward sitting position while driving.
