I have tried several lumbar back cushions and seat cushion. This is my overwhelming favorite - the gel is firm and comfortable to sit on. I have found the regular foam pillows to be insufficiently supportive and too bulky. This cushion supports the natural curve of my spine, eliminating back and psoas muscle strain. The only challenge is that in a car, you'll need to adjust your car seat for the added height of the cushion. I own 4 of these for the cars, as well as kitchen and office chairs.

I purchased a G Seat Gel Cushion a number of years ago and it is wonderful - soft, cushioning gel with a thin backing that makes it even more pliable and flexible. I thought I was purchasing another of the same quality, since it looked similar and was the same brand, but not so. This seat has a recycled rubber backing that is over 1/4" thick that makes the seat very hard, so much so that you hardly notice the gel. That backing, which smells like an old rubber tire, also keeps the seat from sitting flat. It is shipped folded and I can not as yet get it to straighten out. I paid almost as much for the original gel seat that I ordered years ago and would have paid more to get the same quality, but this is just a horrible seat for $59.00 or any price. It is totally uncomfortable. I would have given it minus 5 stars if that were possible. This was to be a gift for my husband, but since it is not the same quality as my old one and is so hard and uncomfortable, he refuses to use it, and I can't blame him. I am very disappointed.

This cushion is extremely helpful and reduces leg pressure. I would highly recommend it.

I use this in my work vehicle (motorcoach) and it's very comfortable compared to the seat by itself. I always want to have something between me and the seat. Have tried other wedge-type cushions and this has been the best. The openings provide relief from heat and it doesn't slide around. I like that it folds and fits neatly in my workbag. It did have a petroleum odor at first but that dissipated after awhile. It fits perfectly in the center of a bucket seat and I can drive my full eight-hour shift and not experience any discomfort. I'd hesitate to purchase the larger one, for the wheelchair, since I think it would put pressure on the thighs. If your back aches from sitting for long periods, you're going to like this cushion.

Purchased this for my husband. He could not ride in a car for more than 30 minutes without his hip hurting. He uses this all the time now with no complaints of his hip hurting.

I bought this for my husband because he complained his back hurt from sitting while working at his desk. At first he chuckled about it but after using it for about a week he said, "hey...this thing really works. My back doesn't hurt anymore."

Get it, use it...it works!

This product helped a little but I decided I needed the larger, thicker Mobil G-Seat and exchanged it for the other product

Cushion still outgasses a strong smell months later. No good for an enclosed area such as a car.

The seat pad in the office chair I bought from Office Depot became compressed & no longer soft after just a couple of months' use, and it really started to be painful to sit on it. This product really helped to supplement it. The trough in the middle is especially helpful in making sure that only your legs & buttocks are supporting your weight rather than soft tissue.

I purchased this product hoping to alleviate excess pressure on my tailbone and glutes from chairs at work and at home. To its credit, the cushion did elevate my tailbone so there wasn't as much pressure in that location. However, the gel was so hard that it pressed uncomfortably against my glutes. The cushion is angled so it is slightly higher in the back than it is in the front, and while I'd guess this was done for ergonomic reasons, in my case it seemed to make things worse. I found myself wishing it contained a lot more gel. It didn't "give" enough to be a good cushion for my needs.

It's too bad, too, because other than that the design is really great. I love that it folds in half, just about the size of a big clutch purse, so you can carry it easily in a bag or under your elbow. I would have kept it if it were the least bit comfortable, but it just didn't help me at all.
