Vive Wheelchair Cushion - Gel Seat Pad for Coccyx, Orthopedic Back Support, Sciatica & Tailbone Pain Relief - Waterproof Cover + 4 Layer Foam Support and Comfort - for Pressure Sores and Ulcers

Very comfortable and well made!

Very sturdy wheelchair. I bought it for my sister and she is happy with it! The cushion was an added bonus!

I'm a pretty solid dude and as a result I have a tendency to be pretty hard on any cushions I spend significant time on. Like, I should be on a first name basis with my upholsterer / foam guy, that kind of situation. So it was no surprise the built in cushion from my new wheelchair was trashed in pretty short order; it's to be expected.I should preface the rest of this by saying, I have partial mobility: I spend more time out of the chair than in it, but my foldable electric lives in the trunk of my car and we take it when we fly. Because of this, I break my chair down somewhat frequently when I'm out, and the chair goes through airports on the regular.For the "keeping it in my trunk" use case, it's mildly annoying. The pad is thick enough that it interferes with the folding mechanism so the cushion has to be unclipped, moved aside, the chair folded up (it's neat, you do it like a baby stroller!) and then the cushion tossed loose into the trunk. Reverse process after I park. It's just one of those extra steps at a time when you don't want extra steps. Y'know, because you're standing there trying to get in or out of your chair.That's not the "awkward for travel" thing I'm talking about, though. Every single time I've taken it through the airport the TSA has had to do extra screening on it. Now, the TSA is not our best and brightest, but they have a job to do and that job appears to be finding semi-dense foams and checking to make sure they're not bricks of explosives or cocaine or something. Fine, whatever. I personally think it's unnecessary but it's the modern reality after the 9/11 overreactions.Seriously, though. Every single time if I put this cushion in the X-ray line, it just sits there for a few minutes while a supervisor looks at the screen with consternation. Then they spend another 5 minutes doing their snake oil ritual of running litmus tests for explosive residue, or weed traces, or whatever they're freaking out about. Every. Single. Time.It's because of the gel inside this cushion. For some reason when these dudes X-ray it they have to hang you up in the middle of this screening commotion. For that reason alone, despite the fact that I like the cushioning power and comfort of this thing, and that it's lasted longer than I expected, I kinda wish I hadn't bought it. This is just one of those side-effects of buying things you don't think about.

Very comfortable.

Excellent comfort for those who sit all day

The size of this pad is 20 x 16 and for me it is the perfect size (I'm 6 foot and 185 lbs.). It does not move once you place it and I like that. The size covers me from my back to almost my knees which gives me good support. The problem is that it sinks down to almost nothing when you sit on it. It comes with a nice handle that you can adjust in size. The outside cover is nice and you can clean it with a wet or damp cloth. Once you take the seat out of the outside cover it is inside another cover that is sewn shut and you cannot see what the seat is made of. It feels like it is just foam and not gel. I have another gel foam seat that is smaller and you can feel and see the gel. I cannot recommend this seat because it has no gel.

Assistive chairs are designed to fold up along their vertical meridian. This action collapses the seat in half from front to back and requires a pliable material. The design is efficient and space saving but results in a concave, hammock-like seat that can be an uncomfortable for the user since it lacks support and firmness. This gel-seat pad improves the comfort and posture of the person using it when paired with their transport or other wheeled chair. My mom found this so cushion so cushy that we bought two – one for her transport chair, and one for her kitchen chair.The cushion is dense and heavy. If you prop it up on one edge, you can see the gel slowly migrate to baseline demonstrating how the substance provides support along the impacted surface. In other words, it fills in the gaps needed to be level across the seating area. In any chair, that means the gel oozes away from the sides and distributes itself evenly under the user’s bum. It’s a pretty remarkable substance and performs in the same way of gel-topped mattresses.This cushion can help soften and support pressure points so that they don’t turn into pressure sores.

Amazing! The waterproof works wonders.
