Tempur-Pedic Seat Cushion, Medium , Dark Navy Blue

Review From a Pregnant Roadtripper
I am a roadrunner through and through. Originally from TX, now living in ND, I make the 1,300 mile (one way) trip back 3 times a year minimum. In addition, we take two annual vacations, always by car as my husband is not fond of planes. When I became pregnant, car seats were suddenly UNBEARABLE. Even a trip to the store would leave my lower back and hips aching for hours. My problem-solving husband immediately purchased this highly rated cushion to try and alleviate my discomfort, as we had several major road trips lined up, none of them avoidable.From the moment I started using this cushion I never had an ache again. It’s extremely thick and sturdy, highly shock absorbent, and contorted perfectly. It has yet to lose the slightest bit of shape after 100+ hours of use between the both of us. The price seemed high before purchase, I didn’t understand what would make a seat cushion worth so much. After using it I can’t imagine ever needing to purchase another, it has yet to age in the slightest, so I consider it to be a valuable lifetime investment.In conclusion, if you’re looking for a seat cushion that will end your aches and never need replacement, look no further!

No longer firm – now just another cushion – except more expensive
I ordered this cushion over a year ago. It was very firm – which is exactly what I wanted. In fact, it was so firm, that it took a few weeks to get “broke in.” Again, this is what I wanted. After 18 months, the cushion became too soft. So I ordered another one. The new one is not firm. It is squishy. In fact, it is less firm than the one I bought 1 1/2 years ago. I well understand the many reviewers who have objected to the prior hardness and firmness of this cushion. But firmness is what some of us wanted, and were willing to pay. The box says it is Medium. I don’t know what that means. I cannot find an option to order soft, medium, or hard. Regarding size, the Amazon description says it only comes in one size. So what does “medium” mean? Finally, the description says “Adaptive TEMPUR material never loses its shape, offering superior support and alignment year after year.” This is deceiving. I suppose you could make the case my cushion did not lose shape. However, it certainly lost its firmness – which was the whole point.

Good, but needs a few
As a helicopter pilot, I use this seat cushion for up to 8 hours a day to reduce fatigue and prevent back, leg, and knee pains. It’s a lifesaver for those purposes, but it has a few design flaws. I considered buying an Oregon Aero seat cushion with the added lumbar support ($250 total and long wait for delivery) but chose this one because of the price.Likes:Very comfortable for sitting long periods of time. Durable so far. The cushion hasn’t broken down at all over the past 6 months of use.Dislikes:A bit too thick. Slippery cover causes the cushion to slide around on seat, especially leather seats. It feels like sitting on a wood plank in cold weather (below 50 degrees F), so if you leave it in a cold car overnight, you won’t like it in the morning. A built-in lumbar support (like the Oregon Aero product) would be nice also.

Pain reduced quite a bit!
I was worried it would be too firm after reading these reviews. I kept the plastic it to try it out for a day. Got tired of sliding on the plastic and decided to commit. It took a few days to get used to it. At one point my pain came back and I got frustrated. I took the cushion off and when I sat back down I felt like I was sitting on a wood chair and pain was significant worse. I realized my expectation that it would 100% resolve sitting pain was unrealistic. The pain reduction was worth it. I couldn’t put that cushion back fast enough. I find it to be the right amount of firmness for me. I just find it strange they label it as Medium size but don’t offer any other sizes. It’s not as wide as I’d like it to be, but it’s sufficient. (6 ft, 210lb)

This cushion is a bit thicker than I initially expected, but that also means it provides ample cushioning for long periods of sitting down. Product is certified made in the USA. Cushion cover is removable and can be washed. For those considering a purchase, do make sure your chairs have adjustable seat heights, because the cushion will add about 2 inches to the seat height.

El asiento es muy práctico porque lo puedes poner donde lo requieras, en el carro, silla de ruedas, o en alguna otra silla o banca, es cómodo y aparte de que el forro se quita y se puede lavar perfectamente.

a bit firm and would have liked it a bit bigger/wider – will need to test out over time to see results.
