I've purchased 5 different products similar to the Coccyx gel seat cushion and it is the BEST. I've never given a review before, but if your shopping for this - its because you're hurting. The cheap brands under $30 don't work-for me. I weigh 220 lbs. and sit at a computer all day long as an accountant. I use the extra heavy dark blue product (not listed here) at my office and at night I sit very comfortably on this gel seat cushion - virtually every night - with pleasure. YES, THIS ONE IS WORTH THE COST!!
I'm sitting on it right now and I may buy another one for my car.

I bought this product based on its good reviews and that it appeared to be made of gel rather than foam--afterall, it is called "Gel seat cushion." I figured it would be the same gel material foudn in the jelly wrist rests for the keyboard and mouse and wouldn't compact the way foam does. I took the cover off--it is ALL FOAM in there. Thsi is a problem for me because the foam just compacts and then I end up with pressure on my tailbone. Maybe I'm just too skinny and my weight doesn't disperse right across the foam cushion so I just sink down. I still have tailbone pain using this FOAM cushion.

This cushion appears well made and I thought it would work for me, but it didn't. The gel layer that provides support inside the cushion does not extend into the two 'arms" that form the U of the cutout. Without this gel those arms collapse when you sit down. This puts my tailbone right back on the surface of whatever I'm sitting on, completely defeating the purpose of this cushion. I'm only 180 pounds, too, so it's not like I was too heavy for this. My search continues.

This is not what seems to be pictured. The pad inside is a cheap piece of foam that flattens out with any pressure. I sent it for return and did not get my money back.

I just received my cushion today. This is NOT a gel cushion. It is two pieces of rather cheap foam glued together. I guess that they consider the glue a "gel". I am a physical therapist and work often with people who need seating cushions. This is NOT a gel cushion. It is a rip off. This is a 2$ piece of foam in a nice wrapping. If you want something similar, go to a upholstery supply shop and get a piece of foam and cut to shape...it is the same thing.

Purchased this for sitting in the office on an uncomfortable chair all day. This product works great as a cushion, but it loses three stars for a serious flaw in mine: the gel started leaking out of it. I didn't notice for two days, after I arrived home and was baffled by a huge white splotch on the right side of the posterior. I finally realized while sitting on the cushion that it was gushing the gel out all over my rump.

Whether defective product or poor design, I say you may be gambling by purchasing this. There don't seem to be any other reviews complaining of this problem (though I haven't read them all), so maybe it's just my one in a thousand bad luck.

I broke my tailbone 2 years ago, and any pressure caused excruciating pain. I went looking for coccyx pillows at various medical supply stores but all of the ones I found there were light-weight, and thin foamed. As soon as I sat on them they went to about 1/4" thick and my tailbone felt pressure. I purchased the Coccyx Gel seat cushion after reading the comments, and have to say it was a VERY good investment. The pad is thick enough that it doesn't compress all the way down, so my tailbone doesn't touch a hard surface. The fleece top adds an extra layer of thickness and stays cool and comfortable. I recommend this cushion 100% and plan on ordering a couple more, so I can have one for car, house and work.

I purchased this cushion for my husband who is wheelchair bound. It is the perfect size and transfers quite easily from the manual wheelchair to the power chair then to his seat lift chair. It is comfortable and easy to clean. The cut out in the back takes the pressure off of the tailbone. The price was excellent for this great product.

Great cushion. Much better then the foam ones. Very firm and retains it's shape.
Seller is great to work with and give exceptional service. Very fast shipping

This cushion is perfect for a big guy like myself. I threw my back out and this cushion made sitting in my cube on my ancient office chair bearable. I flipped it over so the blue side is up...Doesn't call as much attention to itself that way.
