2 stars because Amazon's price is $15 more than the non-ULTRA version and $10 more than the MSRP! Now, I love the Obus Forme Seat. But the problem is, the ULTRA and the non-ULTRA seats are THE SAME. I own them both. In fact, I wrote the Obus Forme myself about the difference and they replied: "Thank you for your inquiry regarding our two seats. There are few differences between the two seats, they are constructed from the same technology, however, the Ultra Seat is of a fabric that matches to the Ultra Forme while The Seat is offered in a variety of colors that are intended to match up with our other back rests (Lowback, Wideback etc...)

Your notation regarding a price differential is puzzling. While we cannot dictate price, ail of our products are marketed with suggested retail price. For your reference, MSRP for "The Seat: is $61.00 CDN and the "Ultra Seat" is $60.00 CDN. We trust this clarifies the similarities and differences in our two seat products."

Why is Amazon charging MORE THAN THE MSRP!!?

The fabric between the two seats-and I have them in front of me as I write-is indistinguishable. The comfort is the same. The cushioning is the same. In fact, Obus Forme says the MSRP for the ULTRA is CHEAPER!! 2 stars because you should get the non-ULTRA seat for 15.00 cheaper.

As for the seat: Its ESSENTIAL for people who live in coffee shops/ study all day/ sit at work constantly-and don't have a lotta cushion back there. Makes almost any chair better. Its profoundly good. Just be careful about letting people try it out...its hard to get it back from them!

I purchased this item, along with a small and a large back cushion, because I was planning on attending several seminars that were extremely long.

I had avoided attending such events, in the past, because I have back issues and sitting for long periods of time, in less-than-ergonomic chairs, left me in a crippling mass of pain. And I never got my money's worth out of the seminars, because I was hurting too much to pay any attention, as the hours wore on.

One of my seminars went for 4 days, from 9 am to 9 pm. While I was somewhat stiff when the event ended, I was NOT in pain. I've used this item, for several events, with good results at all of them. (The first event was a two-day session that only provided lawn chairs. This item 'paid for itself' the first day!)

I also use this cushion in my office chair at home, for added support, and notice that I am less 'drained' after a full day in front of the computer.

Very portable item. Can be used with a variety of chairs. Highly recommended!
