Product Description
These cushions provide optimal difficulty relief and comfort for all-day sitting. The cushion works by distributing the patient’s body weight evenly. The gel cushion gives patients an especially established feeling, because the gel is similar to a patient’s adipose tissue (stout layers). The gel is very thick and minimizes leakage, even if the cushion is punctured. Cushion is very durable and simple to clean.

Initially one I bought had a terrible chemical odor, gave me a bit of a headache now and then, I place too much water in it without warning I tried to remove the water by putting salt in and it made the gel mushy and it kept coming out of the pad. I bought a second one to get it aptly, and didn’t use as much water, and though it feels surpass in a way, it came out lumpy, and ironically the overwatered pad has more cushioning, because there is more water in it, but the one that I didn’t use as much water in, conforms surpass. There’s a way to solve a huge problem with this pad, but since I’m not being paid for product solutions, I’m keeping silent about it.

I am very pleased with the gel pad. It makes sitting in the wheelchair for long periods of time much more comfortable.

I bought this cushion for my Dad who has a tendency to get a difficulty sore on his coccyx. He came home from the sickbay recently and this is the same cushion they used. He really likes it and it works fantastic to releive difficulty.
I agree with the comment that it is a bit hard to fill and that it gets heavy as you do so. It is hard to hold onto it with only one hand while shutting off the water with the other, but somehow I got it done and since I was doing it for my Dad, it was worth the try.
With regards to the comment about the instrucions not saying anything about the gel getting ruined after adding salt, if you look at the instructions again, they clearly say…and I am quoting frankly from the instuctions…”Note: This is a single use product.” Importance that once you add the salt, the original pellets and the water you added yourself all convert to water. Once you drain it, it is empty…no water…no pellets…nothing.
I am wondering, but, why can’t we simply just buy and then add some more of the dry pellets? Why only single use? Let’s say you wanted to take this pad with you somewhere…say visiting family on a Holiday or any other day…maybe even on vacation. You may not want to bring the pad with you filled with water because it is heavy. Why can’t you simply drain it using the salt method to turn the pellets into water, drain it, then when you get to where you are going…add more pellets and refill? Seems reasonable to me. Just a plotting.

I bought this cushion for my wheelchair bound mother. She has found it very comfortable. I have one problem with it. It’s shipped flat with just gell-pellets in it. You have to fill it with water to activate the gell. You are instructed to keep the cushion flat while filling it with water. I managed to do this by placing it on a large tray. It became very hard to hold up to the faucet getting heavier and heavier as it filled. I also was never able to get the water into the corners no matter how hard I tried. All-in-all it is a excellent, comfortable cushion once you get it filled.
