Maiden voyage with this was a 14 hour drive to NY. Usually when I get out of the car after that drive, my backside is numb. During the drive usually involves trying to shift my weight so I'm not putting pressure on the same place for 14 hours. This SAVED me!! So numbness or soreness!
I thought that it had a swivel but it's just nylon covering that makes it easier to turn & swivel & get out of the car. It's definitely easier than a cloth seat but not the swivel turntable I was expecting.
That being said though, this was definitely a good purchase! Bought one for my in-laws as a gift!

It is easy to scoot in & out b/c the fabric is slick; I have bucket seats, this fits neatly in between the sloped edges, so my mom gets in level now, and will definately be a huge aid to her getting in & out of the car. I think this is a simpler solution for her b/c she has Parkinsons & can't really use the swivel type cushions.

I purchased this item as I have just replaced the fabric car seat bottom in my Volkswagen as I had worn the fabric down with the constant sweveling I was doing as I entered and exited the car. This definitely has stood up to seveal months of use without any appreance of wear. It has also eased my ability to get in and out without the feeling of falling out of the chair as I drive. It also did not significantly raise my height while sitting which was a big concern given my 6' 6" frame. I would definitely use this in other applications of this nature.
Honest reviews on Skwoosh EZ Swivel Gel Seat Cushion - EZ5225
This is the very thing we needed! Mom is elderly and very affected by arthritis and she was having a hard time turning to get in and out of the car (velour seats I had trouble myself when wearing velveteen jeans!). I did thorough research and decided against the swivel-type cushions that have a stiff bottom, don't fit into contoured seats and require a precision landing, and went with this instead, and I'm very glad I did. Mom has a much easier time now in turning when entering and exiting the car, and says it makes all the difference in the world!
The cushion is comfortable for her, fits in the center of the contoured car seat and stays in place with no problem. Now Mom can squinch around to get in and out and to get comfortable, without her slacks being pulled down by friction with the velour car seat and without the cushion moving out of place.
It appears to be sturdy and well made. It's also lightweight and the handles make it easily portable, so Mom can take it with her when she rides in other cars, too.
It's a very simple thing, just slippery on one side and grippy on the other, but so often simple solutions are the best!

I am very mobility-challenged by severe arthritis. Access to our car is one of the scarier and more painful things I have to deal with. I had been avoiding wearing cotton knit clothing because of the drag and friction involved in transportation. The first time I used this dandy little device was when I was returning home from a hospital stay. It was a lifesaver because we had packed everything but a cotton-knit muumuu, and I had no choice but to try the Skwoosh. My husband and I were delighted to find it worked very well. My only suggestion for improvement is that they make a larger model for larger or less agile people. Well done!
