This is a great cushion, I am in my car 500-700 miles a week & would not be able to make with out this cushion. My only complaint is that it is too small. It only covers about half of my car seat.

Even if you are some petite size 4 who weighs less than 100 lbs, your behind will be too big for this tiny cushion. It is even too small to be used in the car. The only possible use this tiny cushion might offer for an adult might be on a bicycle seat or as a bench cushion at some outdoor sports event.This pitiable cushion is just under the size of a sheet of paper. It might be best used for some tiny child under the age of 5. But for an adult... this cushion is too small to be used by any adult who is bigger than an emaciated 5 yr old child.
If you are looking for a cushion for your child who fits the criteria I described... then this cushion is perfect for that use only... but it does have seams around the edge and that could be a problem if your child has sensitive skin or painful conditions like fibromyalgia, neuralgia, tendonitis, bursitis... etc. And the velvet material does not appear to be very washable.
I'm not sure what the person who designed this was thinking... It needs to be at least twice the size to be of any use as a seat cushion. You also need to allow room on the cushion for the person to have some leeway for movement since the cushion won't be glued to the same spot on their rear.
I think we would all be better off just to buy a sizeable piece of memory foam about 3 or 4 inches thick, cut it to fit our chairs and then cover it with pillow cases and a zippered protective cover underneath. Don't use thin memory foam because it tends to pack down to a thin sliver if it is less than 2 inches thick and is used every day. Memory Foam is better than Tempur material because it bounces back better. (Even though they are both "memory foam" genuine Tempur tends to turn into a heavy dough and loses its elasticity. I know this because I have both kinds of cushions and all the tempurs are now smooshed flat while the memory foams are not. Be careful not to go too thick if you are using a cushion in a recliner or rocker. It tends to throw off your center of balance and you could cause the chair to fall over backward.
For those of you with chronic pain problems... this idea might also benefit you. I also have a 3" memory foam topper on top of a Select Comfort air bed. I mention this because most people who need extra cushions, need it because of chronic pain. So for sleeping, this is the best combination because you can adjust the mattress hardness and still have a floating cushion for body pain. The memory foam topper is about 500 dollars cheaper than the Tempur toppers an inch thinner.
Just remember to buy a deep mattress pad cover to protect the pad so it will fit over both the mattress and foam topper... and also remember to buy deep pocket sheets. Once you add the foam topper, normal sheets and mattress pads won't fit. I also recommend buying the next size larger blankets. You can also get a foam wedge if you need to elevate your upper torso. There are also knee pillows. Royal Velvet (a brand name) also has the softest and amazingly affordable "Down pillows" which are excellent for anyone who is sensitive. Amazon has all of these things.

I didn't find this product helpful--it's too thin to provide the extracushioning I was hoping for while driving. I find a folded, plush towel much more helpful.
