It was just too wide for my car seat, and the firmness actually raised me up higher than I anticipated, so it didn't work for my needs. This cushion is definitely firm, so I have no doubt it would hold up well. If I needed it for an office chair or something, I would've kept it. Hope this helps!

I got this a month ago because of chronic back pain while sitting. I weigh 230# (the cushion is for 200# or more) and they advertise "scientifically designed to relieve and prevent back pain, numb buttocks and other discomforts associated with sitting". Within about 2 weeks, the cushion was flattening out and because of the cutout for the tailbone, that ended up being what I was sitting on. I'm a pretty average guy with an average tailbone, I guess. I've never had my tailbone hurt before just my back.From about the 2nd to 3rd week, it was becoming awkward to sit on. It got to be a challenge to get it in the right place every time I sat down and within a short time of sitting, I was getting the pain in my tailbone. Now I've been gone for a week and came back and am sitting on a folded up wool blanket until I find something better. Even the blanket is better than the cushion. Even after the cushion's been sitting for a week, you can see it's compressed. The fabric along the back of it is wrinkled and no longer tight.
I wouldn't risk this much money on something like this again. I did try to return it but the companies policy is returns only if it is unused and in the original packaging. I wouldn't say that this is the fault of the vendor that I bought it from because that is the policy on the manufacturers site. I have a rough idea of the cost of foam just by looking at the cost of regular seat cushions and I can't imagine the material cost of this is more than $7-$8. It's beyond my understanding that they can stay in business. I can respect other people's satisfaction with the product, but I would say don't take the risk. Buy something that is returnable if it doesn't work. This brand is expensive and I took that as an indication of quality. I was wrong.
Best Deals for Tush-Cush Extra Firm Orthopedic Seat Cushion
I am around 250 lbs and I have had no problems with the cushion getting crushed. I used it on a very long road trip and didn't have the back pain and sore tush as usual.Honest reviews on Tush-Cush Extra Firm Orthopedic Seat Cushion
I have a herniated disk in my lower back, and my physical therapist recommended that I get a seat wedge for work and in the car. I was a little skeptical at first, but I have been using the cushion consistently at work for about a month now, and I have noticed a marked improvement in my comfort and pain level from sitting all day at work. Part of this is due to physical therapy, but the few times I have forgotten to use my cushion, I notice that my back starts to become uncomfortable and gets to a higher level of pain much more quickly than when I do use the seat wedge. I would recommend getting something like this for anyone with lower back issues. I purchased the extra firm cushion because I weigh about 195 pounds, and I wanted to make sure that the cushion would be able to hold my weight. I sometimes will flip the cushion over after sitting on it for a few hours straight, but otherwise, it has held it's shape greatly over the past month.I only gave this 4 stars because of the price. It just seems like a big cost for a cushion wrapped with a piece of fabric, but I am glad I made the investment as I think it has made a difference in my back pain.
**EDIT I changed this to 5 stars because I realized after using it for a few months that it is so worth the money! So much that I bought another one for my car so I can keep one in the car and one at the office. It's worth it!
