Kensington Memory Foam Seat Cushion, Black

After working about four months at my new job, I began to realize my leather office chair had gone completely flat. It was like I was sitting on a plank of plywood all day. Ouch! To make matters worse I have sciatic problems that kick up every now and again, so the fact that I was subjecting my tooshie to such rough seating accomidations just wasn't smart.

I began scouring Amazon for some sort of seating cushion that would be effective but wasn't a huge pillow/donut etc. Then I came across the listing for this item and saw it was made from memory foam. I sleep on memory foam (Those that do know it's benefits!), so I decided to go with it.

When it first arrived I was suprised at it's weight. Even though the description says it's 2lbs I wasn't really expecting a cushion to weigh that much. The foam is dense, two inches as described. The cover is of nice quality. Chances are people won't even really notice it on your chair if it's black, if that's even something to be concerned about in the first place.

Here's the most valuable information I think I can give for reviewing this item:

The first time you sit on this thing it's not going to be what you expect. It's firm! Even too firm if your butt is already sore from your current situation. To be very honest I had my doubts and wasn't sure it was going to work for me. The night before I took it to work I was almost positive the thing would have to be thrown away or returned.

HOWEVER, once I reluctantly hauled it to work and actually sat on it for awhile, I gradually began to notice the lack of pressure on my tailbone, and really my whole butt in general lol. The longer you sit the more you sort of sink, and it's hard to notice that at first. In my opinion it's just like getting used to sleeping on memory foam, just sitting on it. It's not the easiest transition, but once you get used to it, it's difficult to go without. Even after the end of the first day I knew it was going to do the trick.

I've had this cushion for about 2 1/2 weeks now and I LOVE it. No pain from sitting at all, and it's design is perfect for my chair. I know it will probably have to be replaced later down the line, in maybe six months or so, but that's fine with me. The relief in my eyes is well worth it.

Please note that even though I've mentioned I sometimes have sciatic pains, I wouldn't expect this cushion to work for absolutely every person that bought it. I'm female, 26, and of average build. For a larger or fuller body build this cushion may or may not be what you need. Take note of the measurements. Go out and test out some memory foam products in a store if you've never used them before, and see if that kind of material might work for you. It did for me, and I couldn't be happier.

So yeah, kind of an extensive review I know, but I figure if there's anyone else out there that is dealing with the misery of evil office chairs like I was, I should do my part to help.

Happy sitting guys!~*

I have to sit at the computer for hours on end working on assignments and papers...tried the "Tush Cush Seat Cushion"....found it to be extremely uncomfortable and simply unuseable...was very sceptical of trying another seat cushion that promised much more than a weird hunk of foam could reasonably be expected to deliver...

buying the kensington was a leap of faith (and desperation) as it did not carry a single review of it on amazon at the time. the memory foam thing really molds to the shape of your butt...so some of the pressure is relieved off the pressure points and redistributed all over...i'm not sure of the science behind it but i can now sit longer (very much longer) at the computer in greater comfort...

I started a new job in March 2010, and bought this seat cushion for my office chair. I loved it, but by November it was flattened and no longer providing enough cushion. I am really disappointed because I can't keep replacing it once to twice a year, but it DOES work really well.

This memory foam cushion is great. Remember that memory foam isn't about being cozy, but is about distributing pressure to prolong comfort. It allows you to sit longer before you get sore compared to ordinary cushions or no cushion. You will still eventually get sore, but if you compare to ordinary cushions, you should last longer before you feel discomfort.

I especially like the non-slip aspect of this. I had used ordinary pillow cushions before and they always slid around and made my back sore as I slipped out of good back alignment and I felt I kept straightening it. With this, it stays exactly where you put it. It has a whole rubber bottom. To be fair, you could use non-slip drawer liner under your normal cushions. But this thing doesn't move, which is great. But it does seem to leave some residue on my chair after sitting on it for 2 months. I peeled it off to shoot the video. But I don't think it is anything to be concerned about.

It is big enough for large chairs. But probably will not fit small narrow chairs, as shown in the video. After 3 months of use, mine still works perfectly. It is tougher when it is newer, so give it a chance and don't judge it on its first use. I use it 1-2 hours every day, and sometimes longer on weekends, and it has not shown any sign of deteriorating. One reviewer mentioned theirs went flat after 6 months of constant use. Mine shows no sign of 3 months (but not used every hour of every day). I am happy with mine and would definitely buy another if I had to do it again.

Want Kensington Memory Foam Seat Cushion, Black Discount?

I recently underwent hip surgery and needed extra support and cushioning to relieve the pressure while sitting in the car for long trips. This cushion fits well in the driver's seat and provides the right amount of cushion (the foam does not collapse) without being too hard. I was pleased with the results; while not pain free, I was certainly much better than would have been the case without the pad. Note, if using in an automobile: I am of just above average height and of average weight; if one is very tall and head clearance is already a concern, be aware that the cushion does raise one up in the seat just a bit. The seat cushion fits in the "bucket" portion of the car seat, that is, it does not cover the side portions of the car seat that typically "cup" the drivers thighs on the sides. Measure your vehicle seat for the best outcome.
