The last cushion your chair will ever need.

years of tailbone pain, gone in a week

Bought this over a month ago, sitting on my old computer chair was getting more uncomfortable. For further context, I work from home and I PC game a lot in my spare time - so needless to say, I'm sat down a lot. This cushion has improved comfort when sitting for long periods of time, I feel less pressure on my sacrum (poor posture issue). Does slip around a little bit if I shift in my seat, but I put that down to my chair being a slippery fake leather material. Has held its shape well, the cover is easy to wash, and good value for it's price.

Wheelchair user — genuine daily improvement

I'm in my chair from seven in the morning until about ten at night. Comfort isn't a luxury for me, it's the difference between a functional day and a write-off. The airflow is the thing nobody talks about enough — I used to get unbearably hot by mid-afternoon and this just doesn't do that. Support is even across the whole seat, no hot spots. It's made a real, measurable difference to my day.

HGV driver, 30 years. This is the one.

I've driven artics since 1994 and I've tried every cushion at every truck stop in the country. Most are too soft and you're sat on the frame within a month. This one's held its shape for four months of daily abuse. The big thing for me is getting out of the cab — I used to hobble for the first thirty seconds. Now I just get out. My knees and hips thank me. Bought a second for the wife's car.

My physio asked where I got it

I was doing weekly physio for lower back pain and getting nowhere because I sit at a desk nine hours a day. My physiotherapist noticed my pelvic tilt had corrected itself at my last appointment and asked what I'd changed. It was this. Nothing else. She's now recommending it to other desk-bound patients. I've gone from twice-weekly appointments to once a month.

Sciatica down to almost nothing

The shooting pain down my right leg had got to the point where I was planning my day around how long I'd have to sit. Two days with this and the flare-ups stopped. I don't fully understand why — something about keeping the hips level, I think — but I'm not going to argue with it. I've since done a five-hour drive to Cornwall with no pain at all. That would have been impossible in March.

Bought it sceptical. Completely converted.

Very comfortable to sit on. I work 10 hour days at a desk and lately the chair's padding has been feeling more and more uncomfortable. Yeah, I know I need to stand up and move around more, but some times I get locked in and I'd end up with a sore butt from the constant pressure. Enter this strange feeling item. It's a soft material, oddly stretchy, and shaped to cradle the buttocks. This all contributes to a nice spread out pressure from sitting where there's no more pressure on any given spot. On top of that, the material doesn't allow any moisture build up so I don't get sweaty after sitting for a long time. Yes, it's a few inches thick so that means you need to account for that at your desk. You'll need to make other adjustments to accommodate the extra height to maintain your ergonomics. Yes, it slips around just a little. I might make a little adjustment every couple of times I come back to my seat, but for the most part it stays right where I put it. I'd recommend this for anyone who sits at a desk a lot. I'm considering using this for a driving trip coming up, but I think the extra height on my truck's bench seat might bother me too much. For that, something that's thinner would probably work better.

Sat through a nine-hour flight and walked off fine

I fly to Singapore twice a year for work and I usually arrive barely able to straighten up. Took this in my hand luggage — it's light and it squashes into a tote bag. Nine hours in economy and I got off the plane feeling normal. My colleague watched me the whole flight and has ordered two.

Taxi driver — paid for itself in a fortnight

Twelve-hour shifts, six days a week. My lower back was costing me money because I was cutting shifts short. Three days with this and I was doing full shifts again without the ache. Genuinely paid for itself inside two weeks. Every driver at my rank has asked about it.

84 and reading in comfort again

My daughter ordered this for me because I'd stopped sitting in my armchair to read — I'd been going to bed instead just to get off my hip. The difference is remarkable. I read for two hours last night without needing to get up. At my age you stop expecting things to improve, so this has been a lovely surprise.

Software engineer, 10 hour days. Problem solved.

I'd spent £780 on a supposedly ergonomic chair and still had numb thighs by three in the afternoon. Turns out the chair wasn't the problem, the flat seat pan was. This sits on top and completely changed how the weight distributes. No numbness at all now, and I've stopped standing up every twenty minutes to get feeling back in my legs. Should have tried the £40 fix before the £780 one.

After hip surgery this was essential

Had a hip replacement in January and sitting was the hardest part of recovery — everything put pressure in exactly the wrong place. My occupational therapist suggested a gel cushion and this is what I found. It let me sit at the dinner table with my family again about three weeks earlier than I'd expected. Small thing, huge to me.

Four months in, still like new

My main gripe with every other cushion has been longevity. Feels great for three weeks, then you're sat on a pancake. I've had this since February and it springs back exactly the same as when it arrived. I've weighed 17 stone the whole time, so it's not getting an easy ride.

Pregnancy sitting relief — thank you

Third trimester and sitting had become genuinely painful, especially the tailbone and the pressure through my pelvis. This was the only thing that made working from home bearable for the last two months. My midwife had suggested a donut cushion but this was far better — proper support rather than just a hole.

Van driver, 300 miles a week, no more numbness

The dead-leg feeling after an hour on the motorway was the worst part of the job. Contoured edges make all the difference — no pressure under the thighs at all now. I've done 4,000 miles since it arrived and I've not had it once. Also doesn't slide about on the vinyl seat, which I was worried about.

Call centre worker — finally comfortable

Eight hours in a cheap office chair. Everyone on my team complains about their back. I brought this in and within a week three colleagues had ordered their own. It's now a bit of a running joke on the floor. The cooling is what surprised me most — those offices get warm and I never get that sweaty seat feeling anymore.

Ex-rugby, ruined hips, genuinely helps

Twenty years of front row has left my hips and SI joints in a state. Uneven weight distribution was making the pain worse and I didn't realise until this fixed it. Sitting evenly means the ache doesn't build on one side anymore. I'd been resigned to just living with it.

Coach trips are enjoyable again

I'd stopped going on the WI coach trips because six hours on a coach seat left me in agony for days after. Went to Bath last month with this under me and I was absolutely fine. Two other ladies have since bought one. It rolls up small enough for the overhead rack.

I stream in the evenings and my chair was murdering my tailbone by hour three. Tried a memory foam one first and it just got hot and sagged. This stays cool and firm the whole session. I've done a nine-hour charity stream on it since with no issues at all. i never seen gel cushion comes with this thick! brilliant product.

Fibromyalgia — pressure relief that actually works

With zelora, even light pressure can feel like too much on a bad day. What works about this is that it's supportive without being hard — it cushions without letting you sink and collapse. I can now sit through a meal out, which I'd stopped doing. Sensitive-day sitting is a completely different experience.

six hour shifts, no ache

I am so glad I kept looking until I found this seat cushion; it's exactly what I needed. SI joint pain. This cushion is perfect for taking the strain off of the ligaments and pelvis. I used to be in so much pain at the end of the day after sitting for a long time, but now that I'm using this seat pad that isn't happening. It's so much better than memory foam because it actually supports me while still feeling soft and squishy. Also, it never gets hot because there's air flow through the hexagonal rubber (or is it some other material?) structure and through the mesh removable cover.

Best £50 I've spent on my health

I've spent hundreds on chiropractic over the years for lower back pain that always came back because I sit all day for work. This has done more in a month than eighteen months of appointments. I'm not saying skip the professionals, but fix the seat first.

Tractor cab through harvest — a lifesaver

Fourteen-hour days in a cab that vibrates constantly. By the end of harvest I'm usually a wreck. Not this year. The gel seems to absorb the shaking as well as spreading the weight. My son's ordered one for the combine.

Sewing for hours without stiffness

I quilt and I'm at my machine four or five hours at a stretch. My lower back and hips would seize up and getting up was a slow business. This fixed it in days. My quilting group have all had a sit on it and four have ordered.

Security nights — twelve hours seated, fine

Night shifts in a control room, twelve hours, barely moving. The coccyx pain was becoming a real problem and I was looking at changing jobs over it. Sounds dramatic but it's true. This sorted it inside a week. Still going strong five months later.

Two hour commute each way — transformed

Train in, desk all day, train home. That's roughly eleven hours seated. I used to arrive home too stiff to do anything. Now I get home and go for a walk. Genuinely changed my evenings. I take it on the train too, which gets a few looks but I don't care.

79, arthritic hips, big improvement

Didn't expect much at my age. The hip pain when sitting has reduced by maybe seventy percent, which for arthritis is more than my tablets manage. Firm enough to support, soft enough not to hurt. Very pleased.

Post-natal recovery essential

After a difficult birth, sitting was agony for weeks. The midwife mentioned pressure relief cushions and this was far better than the inflatable ring I'd been given. Being able to sit and feed comfortably made an enormous difference to those first months.

Two of them, car and office. Worth it.

Bought one for the office, immediately wanted one for the car so I stopped carrying it back and forth. The difference on my 90-minute commute is as big as at my desk. Firm support, no heat build-up, and it hasn't budged on the leather seat.

Coccyx injury from childbirth, finally relief

Fractured my tailbone giving birth eleven years ago and it's never fully healed. Sitting on hard chairs has been off the table since. I sat through a two-hour school play last week on this and felt nothing. Eleven years. I'm still slightly amazed.

Courier — in and out the seat 80 times a day

Constant in-out means the cushion gets shoved about all day. The grip on the underside is genuinely good, it's exactly where I left it every time. And the support means the driving bits between drops don't stack up into back pain by four o'clock.

Dining chairs no longer a problem

Sunday lunch with the family used to mean me making excuses to get up. Hard wooden dining chairs and a bad tailbone don't mix. This travels between rooms easily and it's changed mealtimes. Nobody even notices it's there now.

Machinist, bench all day. Sorted.

Sat at a bench doing fine work for eight hours. Lower back was a permanent dull ache for about six years. Three days with this and I noticed it was quiet. It's now been quiet for four months. I don't think about my back anymore, which is the highest praise I can give.

Care home visits made comfortable

I visit my husband daily and sit for three or four hours in a plastic visitor's chair. I was going home in more pain than he was in. This folds under my arm, goes with me every day, and those visits are now about him rather than about my back.

PhD student — library chairs defeated

Twelve-hour library days during writing up. My concentration was going before my brain was, purely because of discomfort. Sounds trivial but it isn't — I'm getting a genuinely extra two hours of usable work a day out of this. Best productivity purchase I've made.

Recliner rescued

My recliner's seat cushion had gone flat and replacing the chair was £900. This was £40 and did the job better than a new chair would have. Firm base, no sagging, and the cover wipes clean which matters with grandchildren about.

Fishing all day, no more numb legs

Sat on a box for eight or nine hours at the lake. Legs used to go completely dead. Contoured edges take the pressure off under the thighs and I've had no numbness since. Wiped a bit of rain off it with no bother, too.

Bookkeeping without the backache

Four days a week at a laptop doing accounts. The slouch had become permanent and my shoulders were paying for it too. This holds my pelvis in the right position so my whole spine stacks up properly. My shoulder tension has gone as a side effect I wasn't expecting.

Brilliant Product indeed!

Pros: Good cost, fits typical wooden dining room chairs well, returns to form reliably, provides a good amount of support on a hard surface, not overly pronounced groin area, seems like it will have good longevity, (two months daily use and going strong). Good overall shape for a ~200lbs 5'10" man. Aided in my lumbar recovery. Cons: Its shape can apply pressure against the coccyx; a little thin in the frontal rim area, (can apply pressure to the thighs when used on a hard surface). Overall, it's a solid choice if you want to improve a chair you already have. While it won't emulate a high dollar office chair's comfort, it's a great alternative if you don't have the money. I'm happy with my purchase.

Like Sitting on a Cloud

So I found myself in a situation where I was going to be doing three days of a lot of sitting on a less than ideal chair. I have tried multiple cushions. Some are good and some are not. I was intrigued by this one because it seemed like it would contour well because of the change in thickness from a little over an inch to three and a half inches. Also the honeycomb designed intrigued me as well. And I was completely blown away! The honeycomb design made it cooler to sit on and was amazingly comfortable. I found the hardest surface I could and set on it. I was amazed how it still felt cushiony soft. Only issue you might run into at first is you do have to find the right possession to set it in to get the most comfort. Once you do though, prepare for a nice and easy sitting experience. I made it through all three days with no discomfort or back pain. What can I say? I'm sold on this cushion. If you get one, you will be too! Two thumbs way up!

Coach driver — 40 years, best cushion yet

I've had a lot of cushions in four decades. Most are gimmicks. This one is doing something real with the honeycomb structure — you can feel the weight spreading rather than concentrating. Six months of daily use, still perfect. That's rare.

Hairdresser's stool, transformed

On a stool doing colours for hours. Thought back pain was just part of the job. Turns out it was the stool. Every stylist in the salon has borrowed it and two have bought their own. Owner's now considering buying them for everyone.

Post-surgery sitting, huge help

Had lower spine surgery in February and sitting upright was the hardest milestone. This gave me the support to sit properly rather than propped at odd angles. My surgeon was pleased with how my posture held up at the follow-up.

Church pews conquered

Ninety minutes on a wooden pew every Sunday had become genuinely painful. I now bring this in a bag and it's a completely different experience. Three others in the congregation have asked where it's from.

Relief from pressure sore!!

Brought the best gift for my mum!!

Air hostess turned office worker — invaluable

Went from being on my feet to sitting all day and my body did not cope. Lower back and hips started complaining within months. This has been the single best thing I've bought during that transition. Stays cool, holds shape, does the job.

Chess club evenings, comfortable at last

Three-hour matches on hard chairs at 76 years old. I'd started declining games. Not anymore. It packs down small enough for my bag and I'm now the one recommending it to everyone at the club.

Illustrator, 8 hour drawing days

Hunched at a drawing board all day. The tailbone pain was constant and I'd started standing to work, which wrecked my line quality. This let me sit again properly. Four months, no flattening, no complaints.

Caravan holidays saved

Six-hour tow to Devon twice a year and I'd arrive unable to unhitch without a sit down. Did the run in April with this and got out fine. It stays in the car permanently now. Bought a second for the caravan chairs.

Wheelchair comfort, day to day

Not a medical cushion and I wasn't after one — I wanted daily comfort and that's exactly what I got. Even support, no heat, no sliding. It's made long days out much more pleasant. Cover comes off for washing which is essential.

Dentist — stool all day, back fine now

Twenty-two years leaning over patients on a stool. My lower back was a write-off by Friday every week. This has changed my Fridays. Two of my nurses have ordered them.
