Customers like the comfort of the body positioner. They mention that it is very comfortable, has the perfect balance of soft but not too soft, and supportive. The top side fabric seems perfect, and the cushion is firm enough to maintain shape. The cushion has a nice case with a handle, and has slick blue side that does not make you hot.

"...I got the larger one and it was very firm but comfortable. I got used to the firmness rather quickly. Even my cat likes to lounge on it...." Read more

"...Unbearable seats are now comfortable. It has a silky blue side that does not make you hot but it is slippery, and a gray non-breathable side that..." Read more

"...The seat cushion is very comfortable. The bottom has an anti-slip coating and the top cover is soft. The entire outer cover is washable." Read more

331 customers mention214 positive117 negative

Customers are mixed about the quality of the body positioner. Some mention it's well made, substantial, and holds up well, while others say the interior gel padding is no longer as resilient, fragile, and deteriorating.

"...Nice, sturdy, holds it shape, cushions the old behind!!! Very pleased with the performance of this cushion...." Read more

197 customers mention128 positive69 negative

Customers are mixed about the fit of the body positioner. Some mention that the fabric is comfortable and it fits nicely, while others say that it's not big enough to stay on it. The cushion conforms to your backside, but it also rejects it at the same time. Some say that the cup holder fits their walker perfectly, while other say that they can't stand to sit on it for less than 2 hours. The memory foam is firm and heavy, and the cushion is not curved to fit against the back of car seats.

"...I mean, the hard rock feel. It does conform to your backside. But it also rejects it at the same time...." Read more

"...However, ordered the 2 inch version, it did not raise enough, thus ordered the 3 inch version which filled the bill.regards, Gil" Read more

"...Also, since the cushion conforms to you very well, it also doesn't leave a good path for air to help with cooling...." Read more

"This cushion fits my wheelchair seat perfectly. I recommend it for seats 22 inches wide." Read more

175 customers mention76 positive99 negative

Customers are mixed about the weight of the body positioner. Some mention that it's pretty heavy, thick, and easy to carry, while others say that it is kind of heavy and feels like 8 lbs to lift. That said, some say that they could really feel the weight shift as they tilted the cushion from side to side.

"...Also, you could really feel the weight shift as you tilted the cushion from side to side, indicating that the gel had escaped from its bag/enclosure...." Read more

"Just received this today, it was heavy, felt like a wood seat. I am really amazed at how heavy the cushion is. Been sitting in it for about 2 hours...." Read more

"...The cushions are heavy. They are not something a 96 year old can just pick up and take to another location...." Read more

"...The cushion itself is fairly heavy as well, which might explain how it stays put so easily...." Read more

83 customers mention44 positive39 negative

Customers are mixed about the cushioning of the body positioner. Some say that it provides so much padding and is great for bedsores. However, others say that the material is too slick and helps you slide off your walker seat.

"...It provides even firm pressure everywhere, but it does give enough to provide cushioning.It doesn't heat up horribly like memory foam...." Read more

"...The top is a lighter material that is fairly slick to the touch...." Read more

"...The pillow helped tremendously by providing the extra support that he needed. It also fit perfectly into the seat of his lounger." Read more

"Very good cushion except material too slick. He had to put a towel to help for sitting." Read more

126 customers mention34 positive92 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the stability of the body positioner. They mention that the cover is nylon and the cushion does slide around in the chair. Some say that the cushion helps them slide off their walker seat. The cover needs to have a little more grip. Overall, some customers are not happy with the product's stability.

"...It has a silky blue side that does not make you hot but it is slippery, and a gray non-breathable side that won't slide but will make your butt..." Read more

"...So it is very slippery. I have to hold onto my chair with my hands if I try to scoot it forward. Otherwise I just scoot right off of it...." Read more

"...The top side fabric seems perfect. It grips the right amount yet allows my dad to reposition himself when he first gets into the wheelchair...." Read more

"...2 is that the cover is vinyl and will slip on other slick surfaces such as wood chairs, but works well on cloth and leather covered chairs...." Read more

Super Good Weight/Pressure Distribution, Best You Can Buy

Super Good Weight/Pressure Distribution, Best You Can Buy
Bought for my husband who sits at a desk all day long working on game graphics and programming. He has tried all kinds of pillows and cushions and he gets bad butt/sitbones pain and back pain. He worked for 6 hours sitting on this cushion and felt no pain. Very comfortable. It's the best he has had and if we lost this one we would buy another one. It's definitely worth every penny. When you sit on it, it distributes weight so evenly that you can not feel any pressure in any one spot and it feels almost like you're not sitting on anything. It's the perfect balance of soft but not too soft and supportive. I love the easy to wash waterproof cover too. Very durable, well made.
