Review: FINALLY A CUSHION THAT PROVIDES RELIEF FOR HOURS OF COMPUTING - I have tried every combination of pillows and cushions to stop the discomfort of sitting for long periods at my computer and nothing worked until I tried this one cushion. It's firm enough to keep you supported, yet it yields enough to remain comfortable. No more pain! It does come with a slick cover, but I just put a cotton pillow case over it (I have the 16" size cushion) to solve that problem. I also have a low file cabinet next to my computer desk. I put a cushion on that so I can put my feet up and be totally relaxed while I "compute" the day away ( I do need to get out more for exercise!). This is great product!

It's firm enough to keep you supported, yet it yields enough to remain comfortable. No more pain! It does come with a slick cover, but I just put a cotton pillow case over it (I have the 16" size cushion) to solve that problem. I also have a low file cabinet next to my computer desk. I put a cushion on that so I can put my feet up and be totally relaxed while I "compute" the day away ( I do need to get out more for exercise!). This is great product! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Comfortable *by D***S on March 21, 2025* Heavy comfortable cushion. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good for typists/desk workers too *by P***F on February 6, 2014* I needed something that was going to soften the blow on my poor backside, as I have to sit at a desk for several hours a day and type transcripts. My "ergonomic" desk chair really skipped out on the cushioning, so I tried memory foam pillows -- which flattened right out and provided little relief. I researched all of the various cushions out there and simply couldn't afford some of the pricey ones with near-five-star reviews, so I gave this one a try. I must say that for under $25, I am amazed at the quality. I didn't realize that air wouldn't "whoosh" out of this thing and it really does feel like gel in there. You can feel it "roll" around when you shift your weight. I must admit that it's been amazing so far! I'm not saying it's like sitting on a cloud (think they're going to have to discover anti-gravity to achieve that), but it's no longer like sitting on a boulder. I'm very, very happy with this cushion and hope it will last me a while. ## Frequently Bought Together - Drive Medical 14891 Skin Protection Gel "E" Wheelchair Seat Cushion, 16 x 16 x 3 Inch, 16x16x3 Inch (Pack of 1) - Drive Medical Blue Streak Wheelchair with Flip Back Desk Arms, Swing Away Footrests, 16 Inch Seat - DMI Wheelchair Bag Provides Storage on Wheelchairs and Transport Chairs for Elderly and Disabled, FSA HSA Eligible, Straps for Quick and Easy Install, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/3618430-seat-cushion](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/3618430-seat-cushion) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
