Purple Back Cushion | Pressure Reducing Grid Designed for Ultimate Comfort | Designed for Chairs, Gaming, and Travel | Made in The USA

At $127 on sale, I really wanted this cushion to not live up to the hype...but, dammit, it exceeded the requirements I set in my head to be worth keeping. I've owned many, many seat cushions in the past decade since hurting my back. If I were to add them all up, I've easily spent more than $200. I've tried many formed memory foam with the coccyx cutout and a few honeycombed gel cushions that are pretty much imitations of the Purple Double. They've all helped, but they've also had some things lacking. The honeycombed gel pads all bottomed out, while providing some relief, and that bottoming out caused pain after a few hours of sitting.This Purple Ultimate relieves all of the pressure and it feels like I'm floating on a very comfy and resilient cushion. It is thick and heavy, being made from the same blow molded polyeurethane as the Purple mattress, in three layers with different supportive design laters. So, being made from the same stuff as the mattresses, this is a heavy cushion. Carrying it on an airplane would be a chore. Also, it is very wide; the widest cushion I've ever owned. These sound like I'm building to a negative review but I'm not. Its totally worth the hassle. I highly suggest ordering one to try it out for yourself. Its a game changer.That being said, I also ordered the Purple Double. That isn't worth the expense. It is made out of the same gel as the much cheaper $25 gel honeycomb cushions and it feels exactly like them. It is NOT worth the $111. That one will be getting returned.

Absolutely fantastic and works totally fine for car idk what I was worried ab, maybe if you are 7FT tall in a smart car it will be too much but I ordered a second one for my gf because it instantly removes back pain and leg stiffness on my morning drives i also use it as my work knee pad, love it, get it you won't regret it.

I sit in back-to-back meetings from 7am to 4/5pm (and sometimes game immediately after), so my chair starts feeling like a medieval torture device by midday. This Purple Ultimate Office Seat Cushion changed that immediately.What I noticed right awayNo chemical odor out of the box (bless).The Purple grid spreads pressure so my hips and tailbone don’t go numb. I’m sitting longer with fewer “I need to stand up now” moments.It gently cues better posture—no more hunching as the hours add up.Comfort & buildSupportive without feeling hard; it doesn’t bottom out.Stays cool compared to foam cushions.The cover feels durable, zips off to wash, and the cushion stays put on my chair (I’m using a Secretlab Omega—fits great).Small trade-offsIt’s pricey, but the value is there and you feel where the money went.Adds a bit of height—if your desk is already borderline, you may need to adjust your chair/armrests.Slightly firm on the first sit, then it settles in.Bottom line I don’t know why I waited so long. For anyone who lives in their desk chair (and doesn’t own a Herman Miller 😅), this is a legit game changer—worth every penny for comfort and focus.

I don't spend money just for the sake of spending money, but I think this is one of the products that's worth buying the name brand. Several months ago, I tried a knockoff of the same type of cushion (grid, etc.) that was about 1/3 of the cost and the entire month I had it I was debating whether or not it made enough of a difference to justify keeping (I returned it). With this one from Purple, as soon as I sat on it the first time, I knew I'd keep it and still feel the same way about it after using it a while.I deducted half a star because I think it's somewhat overpriced, even with buying it on sale. I deducted another half star because it doesn't stay in place quite as well as I would like, especially considering the price. It stays in place moderately well, and it would probably do a bit better on some chairs than the one I have, though I can imagine it doing worse on some other chairs too, but I still have to slightly reposition the cushion every time I sit down if I need or want it to be in the "right" place.I've now been using this cushion for a month - long enough to feel qualified to say it has significantly improved my ability to sit and work at my computer for extended periods, but I haven't owned it long enough to offer insight into the longevity. It feels like it'll last a while, but only time will tell. I've also been using the cushion exclusively at my desk, but when I'm able to get back out on the road for some long trips in my van, I'm looking forward to using it there too. If it was cheaper, I'd probably buy a second one to keep one in the van and one at my desk. With my specific issues, on a good day, I used to be able to sit at my computer for up to maybe two or three hours total before the pain would be bad enough that I had to be done for the day, but with using this cushion I can go about three times as long. Sitting at my desk for sometimes several hours at a time, I don't know how to gauge the cooling effect, but I certainly don't get a hot butt.I had considered the next step down from this model, the "Office Chair Upgrade", but based on my experience with the other cushion I tried, I knew I wanted one that was big enough to cover the entire seat of my chair and that first one wasn't big enough. When I got the that one, I didn't think it would make as much of a difference as it does for me to have the cushion cover the full seat. The "Ultimate" is big enough to cover the seat side to side on my office chair and only falls a little short at the front edge, which is fine for me. Since my chair has a contoured seat already, I might have preferred a completely flat cushion, but not at the expense of size.For those who haven't tried cushions like this before, it's worth mentioning how it's going to affect the seat height and how that extra height could end up being positive, neutral, or negative. When I tried the knockoff, I wasn't thinking about how much it would change the seat height and it was a little surprising. But, I'm also a bit of a stickler when it comes to ergonomics, especially with some of the physical issues I have. Someone who doesn't need things to be as dialed in will be less affected.At my desk, I think the added height is an overall slight net positive: I'm tall enough to compensate for the cushion by adjusting my seat height without bottoming it out and since the armrests on my chair aren't adjustable, it slightly improves that for me so I'm using better posture and arm position for typing. For someone shorter, it could be the case they'd need to plan on a footrest or something to maintain proper ergonomics. In my van, though I haven't used it there yet, I expect it's going to be a solid positive because, while I'm tall enough that I'm not bottoming out my office chair even after adjusting it to compensate for the cushion, I'm short enough that the seat in my van (Ford E350) isn't comfortable for me for long trips since it isn't adjustable. This will give me the extra seat height there that I want there.
