Gel Seat Cushion Questions & Answers
Benefits of a seat cushion? | Sitting for extended periods of time can cause discomfort in the back, hips, and coccyx. Without proper cushioning, that discomfort becomes increasingly agitated. Adding a chair pad to your office accessories lineup can help take the pressure off your lower body. |
Gel memory foam difference? | Memory foam uses your body heat to adapt and contour to fit your precise shape. A memory foam chair cushion takes into account the amount of weight applied and provides support where you need it most. This customized fit provides an ergonomic foundation that helps to lessen discomfort while sitting. The addition of gel infused foam with strategically placed ventilation holes allows body heat to escape and air to flow through, so you sit comfortably cool. |
Seat cushions help back pain? | Unsupportive chairs are detrimental to your back health as they put excess pressure on your spine and lead to poor sitting posture. Using an office chair seat cushion while sitting for long stretches helps to support your back, tailbone, and hips. |
Can a chair cause hip pain? | A chair that lacks the proper support can lead to poor posture while sitting, creating excess pressure on your back, tailbone, and hips. Adding an ergonomic office seat cushion is a simple way to upgrade your chair to make it more comfortable and supportive. |
Do chair cushions last? | Quality of materials greatly determines the longevity and lifespan of your coccyx seat cushion. At Everlasting Comfort, we pride ourselves on making high quality products that will last for years to come. Our tailbone cushion is crafted with the same premium gel infused memory foam found in the world’s leading memory foam manufacturers. |

Pros: Thick quality padding, no “funny smells,” matches black office chairs, comfortable to sit it for a full 8-12 hour shift, does not make you sweaty.
Cons: Not wide enough to cover entire buttocks area (I’m a size 18), need to re-center the pillow every time I sit down again.
Experience: I suffered a great deal of tailbone discomfort and pain from sitting hours a day in an office chair with nearly no padding. I did not have enough money to buy a new chair, I’m trying to be frugal. After 2 and a half weeks of using this product with my office chair, my back/tailbone pain was completely gone. It does exactly what it needs to do and takes the weight off your tailbone and back.
Sometimes, I have to shoo the cat off it because she finds it comforting too. I’m considering buying another for my cat. She is a “princess” and likes to sit on the finest quality products only. I could probably fix the re-centering issue with some double-sided tape or Velcro.
Quick Summary: Worth the money, great quality, not a fast-fix for your back pain but helps greatly in the long-term.

This update is weeks overdue. I'm gladly increasing my star rating from 3-4. The owners read my review. They reached out, via email,apologized and offered a full refund. There was nothing to apologize for. I explained in my reply that even though it doesn't work in the car for my herniated disc/sciatic situation (the intended purpose of the purchase), I use it in the house chairs comfortably.They still provided me a full refund AND let me keep the cushion. Amazing customer service and satisfaction! As a company that develops and sells medical products, this shows me how serious they are about health care! I'm now a huge fan of this company, and tell people to give it a try. I went back to their store front to see if there was anything else I might buy to help support them. I couldn't find anything, and suggested they consider making a wedge cushion, which is the only cushion I can sit on in a vehicle. I will buy another of these cushions when this one wears out, but think it will be a while. Thanks again Everlasting Comfort! I'm grateful and humbled.
This lady has so much pain in her tail-bone, it's excruciating. She's in tears after about 10 minutes, and can hardly bear it during one of the appointment days. It's terrible! Then there's wheeling to meals at the facility, PT and other sitting events. She can't stand up, and never gets a chance to build muscles before the next medical crisis.
Why the long story? Because today, we gave this cushion a test run. KF was in the ICU for 4 days, and released for transport, scheduled at 1:30pm. They got her into the chair with the new cushion, using a power lift, at around 1:15pm. We sat for 1 hour and 10 minutes, before the transport showed up. I kept asking her, "How's your tail-bone?" "Fine!"
The ride was about half an hour, then a bit of wait until she could be lifted out of the chair, back to bed. By the time I showed up, about 3 hours had passed and I didn't know what I'd find. Usually, she's in such pain she gets a Vicodin, and can hardly function for the rest of the day. Not this time!
Using this cushion, KF was about as "normal" as she'd been prior to getting into the wheelchair! Unbelievable! No tail-bone problems, no muscle cramping, no leg pain, no shoulder pain, and no arm and elbow pain, from trying to constantly adjust in the chair. Since she can't move much, it's very hard for her to even squirm around at the moment, but she didn't have to!
This is a superb pillow. We've had it only one day, but I can't believe how much we're pinning our hopes on something so basic. Back at the facility, I showed it to a guy who's lost a leg and had major cellulitis. His spine has degenerated to bone-on-bone, and he can barely sit in a wheel-chair for more than an hour. There's nothing he can do, but he's robust, has a solid body with a lot of padding, but has almost no spinal support whatsoever. He was astonished at how comfortable we was when we tried out the pillow.
Fingers crossed, hoping it lasts. I've rarely seen something that provides so much relief in such a basic way.
UPDATE: This is absolutely a lifesaver! Within 1 week of using the cushion, KF's tailbone was mostly healed. She can now sit for the many hours in waiting rooms, PT or other problems.
TIP: If you're using this with incontinence situations, definitely by two! If there's an issue, the outer fabric covering is easy to wash. But the inner memory foam isn't so easy, and takes forever to dry. MAJOR TIP: You can take off the outer casing, then cover the foam cushion with a 13-gal trash bag. Replace the casing, and the plastic bag isn't noticeable at all when used for sitting. However, it prevents liquids from soaking into the foam. The cushion is so critical you'll want a backup while the outer casing for the soiled one is in the wash.
