Essential Medical Supply Rehab 1 Foam Cushion - Extra Thick Seat Cushion for Office Chair, Wheelchair, and Car - Provides Additional Support and Pain Relief for Seniors - 18" x 16" x 4"

I have an old office chair at home that has virtually no cushioning left in the seat. Sitting in it causes pain in my butt, literally; my sciatic nerve also hurts. I've tried a few other pillows and cushions, but nothing really helped until I found this one. It adds 4 inches of cushion to the seat, and has all but completely eliminated my pain. I've only been using it a few days, but so far it shows no signs of flattening out; I can feel how cushiony (and yet still firm) it is every time I sit down. It also stays put in the chair; all the other things I tried had to be constantly adjusted to keep them in place. Not this one; it stays right where it needs to be. This was also less expensive than a lot of the other options, which was also a factor in my deciding to give it a try. I'm sitting in the chair on this cushion all day every day, and it helps tremendously; I would recommend it to anyone who is in a similar situation.

Ordered this to help me when my arthritis is flaring up and I have trouble getting out of my chair. I wanted the 3 inch but reviews were not very positive with comments about it flattening and not retaining it's shape or thickness. Reviews on the 4 inch were more positive on it retaining it's thickness . Comments also said the 4 inch wasn't necessarily comfortable for long periods of time. Definitely right on that. It gives a little when sat upon but not much. It's too high for me and I'm 5'8". Will try it for a couple of days but will probably return it for the 3 inch. Also, you will probably need scissors and a knife to open the package. I had to open the Amazon box, then the manufacturer's box, then a shipping mailing bag, then cellophane wrapping, and finally a cardboard sleeve just to get to the cushion. Good grief. If you are looking for a thick, firm cushion, this should meet your needs. It's just a little bit more than I need.UPDATE: After about a week of use, It has become more comfortable. It now gives a little when sitting on it making it comfortable but retains it shape and returns back up to the 4 inch height. In fact, I like it so much now, I probably will order more. Guess it just needed to be broken in.

Great couch seat support. But black cover attracts all human and pet hair.

Reasonable price, good quality materials. Just what Dad needed for an extra boost to get out of his recliner, and maintain some independence. He says the only thing he would change is to make it a little wider to fill the whole chair seat, just like his hiney does. 😂

I was between preferred options in terms of more advanced cushions and really needed to get something that could work for my daily wheelchair use. This Essential Medical Supply Rehab 1 Cushion with Higher Density for Additional Support is an affordable entry-level option that is probably best for those with very basic cushion needs. For those who need stronger support to prevent pressure sores, this is not a viable option.This is an 18"x16" cushion that fits nicely in my wheelchair. It's 4" thick and this is what I've been used to and really needed. This is also an Amazon's Choice. The fill material is foam. The cover is machine washable.If you're someone who needs basic cushion support, I think this is a tremendous option. It's soft but also has some firmness to it. I had some difficulty using it in the wheelchair as I transfer by holding onto the chair and I found this cushion had a little too much give to it. While it's considered a "medical" cushion, I'm not sure I see it as effective for a wheelchair user other than, perhaps, those who are primarily stationary and don't have active lifestyles. I find it reasonably comfortable for short-term use, however, on the occasions I've used it for an entire work day I've been less happy with it.For those sitting in chairs at home or office chairs, I can definitely see this being an effective and affordable option.Overall, I found this to be a decent short-term option but I was definitely happy when I was able to move to a more customized cushion specific to my support needs. However, this cushion from Essential Medical is a solid entry-level cushion for basic support needs that don't involve pressure sores or ulcers.

I bought this for my wheelchair. It goes edge to edge on a standard size wheelchair. It is 4 inches thick and gives great support. You don't lose much height when in it. It's not to soft and not to firm. Great purchase!

I love sitting on the deck and end up sitting for hours. The bars under the cushion starting to hurt so I purchased the 4" cushion. Immediate comfort and what a relief! I'm due for a new hip, so comfort is really important and this cushion sure brought it! Having an option for a larger cushion would be nice for uses other than a wheel chair cushion. Highly recommend! The height is perfect for post surgery also.

Not the softest, but definitely very durable. Probably best with this in wheelchair and a thinner softer cushion on top. Replace softer cushion when worn out, and this thing adds good padding base underneath softer cushion so patient doesn't sink into chair and another layer of padding for big bumps.This appears to be Hospital grade and able to withstand many cleanings. To make it last longer, again I'd suggest a thin soft top layer to this.I noticed my small child using it to sit higher at a desk. It is firm enough it held him up off the more uncomfortable seat below, yet soft enough to be comfortable to sit in it for a long duration.I do think this is an excellent base for anyone for any type of seat. It is quite wide and probably as close to the actual conventional wheelchair base in dimensions as you can get. It is quite large and very thick. It is firm, yet softer than many chairs and definitely softer than the wheelchair bottom without it.Also the firm nature means someone doesn't sink so deep into it they cannot get out of it.
